On August 13, Football Recommendation: Who can reach the top of Europe? European Super Cup, Can Paris Saint-Germain hype Tottenham: Ice on the cake?

Paris Saint-Germain vs Tottenham Hotspur

European Super Cup final will be held at the Friuli Stadium in Udinese, Italy, with the Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain against the Europa League champion Tottenham Hotspur. Paris won all domestic championships and Champions League last season, but suffered a crushing defeat in the Club World Cup final, revealing its weakness in the defense; Tottenham replaced a new coach, and the new coach encountered this tough battle for the first time he led the team after taking office. Overtime was cancelled this game. If the draw is within 90 minutes, the penalty shootout will be held directly, and the tactical error tolerance rate will be even lower.

Paris is likely to take control of the ball and create opportunities through Dembele's wing breakthrough and Vitinia's midfield dispatch; Tottenham may take a 5-4-1 defensive counterattack, relying on Solank's high-level support and Kudus' sprinting ability. The key lies in the stability of the new goalkeeper in Paris and whether Tottenham's three central defenders can withstand the impact from the ribs. The referee's penalty scale will affect the pace of the game. If Tottenham concedes the ball too early, they may fall into a passive position.

Result prediction: Paris 2-0, 3-1 Tottenham

English League Cup first round: Birmingham vs. Sheffield United

English League Cup first round will be played at St Andrews Stadium, with the champions Birmingham playing against Sheffield United. Birmingham was tied by his opponent in the first round of the new season, exposing the defensive problems, but they spent 9 million euros to introduce new players in the offseason, showing an ambitious attitude. Sheffield United suffered a 1-4 defeat in the first round, and his morale was low. He only invested 1 million euros in the summer and lost several main players. Both teams said they would conduct large-scale rotations and had doubts about their intention to fight the cup. In history, Sheffield United has won all the last five away games, but its current lineup is no longer as strong as before.

The two teams may send a lot of substitutes, and the game may become messy. Birmingham may rely on Guqiao Henwoo to break through on the wing to create a threat, but replacing the substitute defense may be hit hard by Sheffield United's high center Ukaki; Sheffield United's decline in midfield control may fall into a passive position, and set pieces may become the key to breaking the deadlock.

Result prediction: Birmingham 3-2, 2-1 Sheffield United
