Lille faces Paris Saint-Germain in the French Super Cup final. The match will be played on Sunday, August 1st at Bloomfield Stadium (Tel-Aviv)
Lille was the biggest sensation of the previous season in French football. At a distance, the team showed an excellent result. For the first time in three years, PSG did not become the champion of the country. The Great Danes broke the hegemony of the Parisians. Lille players were only one point ahead of their closest pursuers. The roster of the Great Danes cannot be called stellar. During the season, the team made a lot of misfires, but the metropolitan team made them even more often. 36-year-old striker Burak Yilmaz made a great contribution to achieving the goal. He had a great season in Ligue 1 with 16 goals and five assists. It was the 6th indicator in the tournament. Lille's unbeaten streak in official matches lasts eight games in a row. Despite the champion’s title, one of the creators of this team left the club. Coach Christophe Galtier moved to Nice, and his place is now taken by Jocelyn Gourvennec.

PSG unpleasantly surprised their fans in the 2020/2021 season. The team failed to win the championship and showed indistinct football in some matches. The change of the head coach did not help. The management fired Thomas Tuchel, who eventually won the Champions League with Chelsea. The place of the German specialist was taken by the ex-mentor of Tottenham Mauricio Pochettino. It is unlikely that the bosses can be satisfied with the work of the Argentine mentor, because the Parisians won only the French Cup and the League Cup. But they did not succeed in the championship and the Champions League. In the first case, Paris Saint-Germain finished second. And they reached the semifinals of the main club tournament, where they lost to Manchester City. Perhaps, in the 2021/2022 season, everything will change for the better, as the club carried out a competent and quality transfer campaign.
Most of the facts say that PSG should gain victory. Firstly, the Parisians will want to take revenge for the fact that the gold medals were taken by the Lille players. Secondly, the Great Danes did not receive any reinforcement, and as many as seven players left the club during the transfer window. An important loss is the sale of defensive midfielder Boubakary Soumare to Leicester City. Thirdly, PSG held a powerful transfer campaign. The Parisians retained the backbone of the team and seriously strengthened, having invited Hakimi, Danilo Pereira, Wijnaldum, Sergio Ramos, and Donnarumma. Moreover, three top players came as free agents.
Prediction for the match: Paris Saint-Germain to win
