Our Prediction Tip

Tottenham Hotspur will win this match.

This will be the first meeting of these two sides, friendly or otherwise, so it will be a spectacle to behold and witness for those looking for a fresh match up.

PSG vs Tottenham Betting Tips and Odds

Bovada have the following odds available for this match:

Spurs are at +265, a draw is at +245, and a PSG win is at -110.

The way to go here is to go with a Spurs win.  We believe the reason why is because they have a very young team that is full of energy and depth.  On top of that, they are playing to break into the first XI under Pochettino.  This isn't quite the case with this PSG.

Also, the odds are much better in our favor for Spurs that they would be for PSG.  Since it is preseason, we have to have a good reason to place a wager due to the unpredictability of it all.

If Spurs score first, you can get +140 odds.  This looks a decent bet as Spurs are always a side that love to start very quickly by pressing and shooting.

PSG vs Tottenham Prediction

Spurs are one of the few teams that truly give youth a chance to blossom.  As such, look for those young players to try and grab their opportunity by the horns here.

Predicted Scoreline: PSG 1-3 Tottenham

 

Team News

Unai Emery will not be bringing along the likes of Serge Aurier, Grzegorz Krychowiak, or Hatem Ben Arfa for this tour of the USA.  Julian Draxler is also left out, though, he is still recovering after the Confederations Cup whilst the others are likely to be moving to other clubs.  Dani Alves, Yuri Berchiche, and Jese Rodriguez are all on the trip.

Key Man

It'll be interesting to see how and when Dani Alves plays here.  The right back finished last season on fire with Juventus, helping them ease into the final of the Champions League.  How will he fit in at PSG?  This match might be the first clue.

Team Form

PSG have two draws, a loss, and two wins in their last five matches.  They won 5-0 at home to Bastia and away to St. Etienne in the league before ending the season with a 1-1 home draw against Caen.  They then won the Coupe de France against Angers 0-1.  They faced Roma in the ICC on Wednesday, and they drew 1-1 before winning on penalties.

PSG Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

PSG likely XI

  • Goalkeeper:Areola

  • Defenders:Alves, Silva, Marquinhos, Maxwell

  • Midfielders:Rabiot, Motta, Verratti

  • Forwards:Di Maria, Lucas, Cavani

Team News

Mauricio Pochettino hasn't seen any moves made to his side so far this off season, but right back Kyle Walker has left for Manchester City.  Perhaps most importantly to them is the fact they've kept everyone else thus far.  The likes of Harry Kane and Del Alli are included, as are most of the heavy hitters in the team.  Danny Rose and Son will not travel due to injuries, as is also the case with Harry Winks.  Moussa Sissoko isn't included either due to a 'virus,' but he's likely to be moved on soon.

Key Man

Striker Harry Kane will be keen on starting this season with a bang just as he ended last season with one.  He scored seven times in the last two matches alone, and will be an ever-present threat to PSG.

Team Form

Spurs have four wins and a loss in their last five matches.  They lost 1-0 away to West Ham United to end all of their title hopes before defeating Manchester United 2-1 at home.  They concluded the BPL season with thumping away wins at Leicester (1-6) and Hull (1-7) before playing a friendly at Kitchee that they won 1-4 in.

Tottenham Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Tottenham likely XI

  • Goalkeeper:Lloris

  • Defenders:Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies

  • Defensive Midfielders:Dier, Wanyama

  • Attacking Midfielders:Eriksen, Alli, Nkoudou

  • Forwards:Kane

PSG and Spurs have never met before, and they will make a few fans in Orlando quite happy when they kick off on Saturday. Both sides come into preseason with totally different moods. Spurs are quietly confident, while PSG come off a terrible season and are looking to improve. This will be Spurs\' first match of the summer, while PSG will be in its second. We like Spurs here due to their youthful exuberance and their manager\'s way of pushing his players.
Spurs\' young side have scored 17 goals in their last three matches played.
