"Last seen over the weekend getting 2026 underway with a 2-1 victory against bitter local foes and Ligue 1 debutants Paris FC, Enrique's camp have won each of their previous four appearances across all competitions. Lifting the Intercontinental Cup on December 17th following a nail-biting 2-1 victory against South American giants Flamengo, PSG will be looking to claim another quick fire piece of silverware."
"Away with Morocco at this month's AFCON, PSG will once again be without one-time Real Madrid defender Achraf Hakimi here. Not featuring over the past fortnight and still dealing with a recent thigh issue, Kang-In Lee will play no part on Thursday night. Notching just a third Ligue 1 strike of the season last weekend and now registering consecutive domestic goals, reigning Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele will lead the line."
PSG enter the French Super Cup in strong form after a sensational sweep culminating in a maiden Champions League title and a recent Intercontinental Cup win. Luis Enrique's side have won their last four matches and started 2026 with a 2-1 win over Paris FC. Several players are unavailable: Achraf Hakimi is away at AFCON and Kang-In Lee is sidelined with a thigh issue. Ousmane Dembele leads the attack after consecutive domestic goals, and Marquinhos could return to the starting lineup. Marseille had a three-match winning run but suffered a shock 2-0 home defeat to Nantes, increasing pressure on Roberto De Zerbi.
