PSG vs Aston Villa: Supercomputer predicts result of UEFA Super Cup
Aston Villa are set to face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday in their first competitive game of the 2026-27 season.
The Villans are set to face off in the UEFA contest for the first time since victory in the 1983 edition.
This comes off the back of the Europa League glory against Freiburg in Istanbul.
No Villa fan will ever forget that day, but it could soon be followed up by another memorable occasion in Salzburg.
PSG await Unai Emery's side as the French outfit look to retain the Super Cup after victory 12 months ago.
Villa don't go into the Red Bull Arena clash as favourites as we assess the supercomputer latest.
How likely are Aston Villa to win vs PSG?
Things are always going to be difficult for the claret and blue outfit against arguably the best team in the world.
The Parisians are coming off the back of consecutive Champions League wins against Inter Milan and Arsenal respectively.
That has seen Luis Enrique carry his personal tally of title wins to three, while also having two Super Cup medals under his belt.
The Spaniard could soon be set to add to that with the Opta Analyst supercomputer giving PSG a 45 per cent chance of winning in Salzburg.
That unfortunately leaves Villa with a 29.5 per cent likelihood of lifting silverware on Wednesday, while a draw at full-time is marked with a 25.5 per cent chance.
The Villans are the clear underdogs for the Super Cup, but they can't be scared of a PSG side who they know how to beat.
Aston Villa already have perfect blueprint vs PSG
Cast your mind back to 2025 with Villa in the Champions League quarter-final.
PSG might have won the first leg, but they went on to seriously worry in the reverse fixture at Villa Park.
The B6 outfit secured a 3-2 win on the night and dominated the stats outside of their 34 per cent share of possession.
They racked up 2.05 expected goals compared to the away side's 1.69.
They created double the amount of big chances with six, while also taking 17 shots with nine on target.
Villa can take solace from the fact that the PSG side is largely the same with the only real difference being the absence of Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Ironically, he was arguably their best player at Villa Park as he made five top saves, particularly infront of the North Stand.
Matvey Safonov is now between the sticks and it will be interesting to see how he copes.
Villa know they are the underdogs in Salzburg, but they were in 2025 and still managed to shake the foundations of the Parisians.
