Team Analysis
After the New Year, Ligue 1 has not yet resumed, but the French Super Cup is already on the stage, and the weekend brings the knockout stage of the French Cup. Naturally, this French Super Cup match is quite anticipated in France. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured the league title last year, managing to clinch victory with a one-point lead over Lens. PSG has been a dominant force in French football for several years, and despite significant changes in their squad this year, retaining only Mbappe, their performance has improved. In the context of a reduced Ligue 1 this year, they have enjoyed more ample rest time. Therefore, their recent form remains impressive.

In fact, Toulouse's performance last year was not particularly impressive. However, due to strong teams showing little interest in the French Cup, Toulouse managed to secure the title. The issue is that even though they won the cup, their performance this year is still lacking. They have had many draws, and despite not losing many matches, their low scoring has resulted in a lower ranking compared to last year. Before the break, they were even defeated by Monaco on their home turf! Nevertheless, surprisingly, they managed to advance in the UEFA Europa League.

Odds Analysis
The two teams clashed early in this season, with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) being the away side and initially given a handicap of half a goal. However, they failed to secure a victory and only managed a draw. Looking at the data from this match, it's evident that the bookmakers are still not very optimistic about PSG's away performance. Last year, when PSG played at home against the same opponent, the handicap dropped from 2 goals to 1.25, and the result was a narrow 1-goal victory. Now, in this final match held on neutral ground, PSG is even given a handicap of 1.75, which seems quite appropriate. Despite PSG missing some star players this year, the odds still suggest that they are a strong contender. Therefore, PSG is still worth supporting.

Pick: Over 2 goals
