Spurs Expected to Provide Tough Challenge for PSG, According to Frank's Assessment
Tottenham Hotspur are set to face Paris Saint-Germain in their first match under the management of Thomas Frank, the former Brentford boss. The highly anticipated encounter will take place in Udine.
James Maddison's absence due to a serious knee injury leaves a gap in the midfield, with Pape Matar Sarr expected to take on a more advanced role. Son Heung-min's departure for LAFC in the United States also means the team will be missing a key attacking force. However, Dominic Solanke, who is fit following injury, could provide a much-needed boost to the attack.
Eberechi Eze has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur from Crystal Palace, but Frank has remained tight-lipped about the club's reported interest. The senior players are taking responsibility to support their teammates in these challenging times.
Experienced defender Ben Davies has praised Frank for bringing a lot of energy to the club, and Pedro Porro features prominently as a deep-lying creator at right-back. Guglielmo Vicario is the established starting goalkeeper.
The predicted lineup for Tottenham Hotspur against PSG for the 2025 UEFA Super Cup match is as follows:
Tottenham Hotspur (4-3-3 formation)
- Goalkeeper: Vicario
- Defenders: Porro (RB), Romero (CB), Van de Ven (CB), Wilson Odobert (LB)
- Midfielders: Sarr, Palhinha
- Forwards: Wilson Odobert (LW), Solanke (ST), Sarr or another attacking midfielder
For Paris Saint-Germain, their predicted lineup is:
- Goalkeeper: Chevalier (or Martin as substitute)
- Defenders: Hakimi (RB), Marquinhos (CB), Pacho (CB), Mendes (LB)
- Midfielders: Vitinha, Ruiz, Zaïre-Emery (starting for suspended Neves)
- Forwards: Doué (RW), Dembélé (ST), Kvaratskhelia (LW)
Frank has expressed confidence in his team's ability to compete against PSG, describing the game as a significant challenge and opportunity for Tottenham Hotspur. The lads are excited about working under Frank and hope their preparations will result in success in the upcoming match.
Tottenham Hotspur ended a 17-year wait for a major trophy with victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final last season. Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, won their maiden Champions League title in May 2022 with a 5-0 victory over Inter Milan.
The match between Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams eager to start the new season on a high note.
