Match Preview and AI Forecast
Champions League victors PSG will take on Europa League winners Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup. This will take place at 8:00 PM BST (12:30 AM IST on August 14, 2025). The AI forecast in support of PSG is the treble-winning campaign of 2024-25. Featuring a control over Inter Milan in the Champions League final by 5:0. Tottenham is also not short on history, as new boss Thomas Frank brings his team, having won the Europa League. But they must navigate over one of the strongest teams in Europe.
The inclusion of Dembélé in AI prediction is not shocking given that he scored 35 goals and 12 assists last season.

ESPN and Goal.com reports give more details. The Tottenham team will also miss the services of Yves Bissouma as a result of disciplinary action, whereas Son Heung-min transferred to LAFC. In spite of dominance, PSG might have a problem with rhythm after an intensive tournament routine and weak pre-season work. The Club World Cup final victory of Chelsea with a 3-0 score against PSG implies flaws that might be disregarded by the AI forecast, averaging.
The Yahoo Sports statistics confirm the advantage of PSG, averaging 2 goals per match, as opposed to 0.8 by Tottenham. But PSG could be held up by the defensive tactics of Thomas Frank, and the score could end up in a draw or penalty shoot-out. AI forecasting becomes the subject of imagination among audiences, but it is the correctness determined by other circumstances than raw data.
Conclusion
