2021 French Super Cup is held this Sunday, 1st of August in Tel Aviv
Ligue 1 champion Lille and the French Cup winner PSG will play against each other
PSG are favored to win their 11th Super Cup title

The 2020-21 Ligue 1 and Coupe de France winners, Lille and Paris Saint-Germain will meet each other this Sunday at Bloomfield Stadium, in Tel Aviv. The 2021 French Super Cup odds favor PSG to win their first trophy of the new season. But Lille can surprise the top team just like they did in the league last season. The 2021 Trophee des Champions will be held in Israel for the first time in the cup’s history. But it is not uncommon to have the game in foreign countries. As it has been held in China, Canada, Tunisia, Morocco, the United States, Gabon and in Austria in the last few years. Last year PSG won the cup after defeating the league runner-up Marseille 2-1. This time they can try to defend their title and win the cup for the 11th time. Their opponent, Lille, has played in the cup twice before, losing the match on both occasions. They are the underdog again but Jocelyn Gourvennec’s team might surprise the Parisians.

2021 French Super Cup odds predict PSG’s victory

Paris Saint-Germain only finished second in the French top league last season, which was a huge surprise after their dominance in the competition. But Mauricio Pochettino’s team did win the French cup though after defeating Monaco in the final. Now the team will start the new season against Lille who became the champions last season. Online sportsbooks in France favor PSG to win the match with the odds of 1.66. Which is not surprising after making their squad even stronger than last year. The team signed the European champion goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos and Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum. But former Inter defender Moroccan Achraf Hakimi has joined the team as well. Along with the key players like Neymar, Mbappe, and Marco Verratti they will surely aim for more trophies in the new season. They can get the first one this Sunday if they beat Lille. The 2021 French Super Cup odds expect both teams to score (1.80) but same odds offered for both more or less than 2 goals.

Lille’s chances

Online gambling sites in France offer the odds of 5.00 for Lille’s victory, which seems quite high in the case of the French champion. Lille also managed to beat PSG last season in an away game. But they were knocked out from the Cup by the Parisians. Now they can fight back and get another win under the lead of their new manager, Gourvennec. Whose appointment was a big surprise for the fans and experts after he hasn’t managed any club since 2019. He can prove his skills with a victory now for everyone. Players of the Ligue 1 winning team, like Burak Yilmaz, Renato Sanches and Jonathan David can help him to achieve it. The team’s preseason hasn’t been too successful after losing three games out of five matches. Of course, the Super Cup match will be different with a chance of winning another trophy. With a stable defense the team can get a draw like they did in their first league game last season. Bookmakers offer the odds of 3.80 for this result on bet365. But it will surely be a difficult task to stop the top level PSG forwards from scoring goals. Like last season’s top goalscorer, Kylian Mbappe, who scored 27 goals in the previous season.
