PSG vs Toulouse Prediction and Betting Tips: Mbappe to headline French Super Cup

Ligue 1 champions PSG meet Coupe de France winners Toulouse in 2024's Trophée des Champions on Wednesday night at 7:45pm, live on TNT Sports 1.

This pair have met already this season, sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw at the Stadium de Toulouse in August. Luis Enrique's side won the French Super Cup last year without the Spaniard's help and are 1/4 to win the match, with the much shorter 1/7 for them to lift the trophy.

Toulouse, who beat Nantes in the 2022/23 Coupe de France final, are 7/1 to upset the odds and lift the trophy, while 11/1 can be found for them to win the match in 90 minutes.

After France's winter break, it feels like a great time to back Kylian Mbappe returning with a bang. The speedy forward has 18 goals in 16 Ligue 1 matches and 21 in 22 for the entire campaign, leaving previous rumours of a summer exit completely forgotten about.

Mbappe has netted two or more goals on six occasions this season, five of which have been braces, including one in his last outing against FC Metz before the country's enforced break. Having scored in three of his last four meetings with Toulouse and netting in 14 of his 22 appearances for PSG this term, we're siding with the 25-year-old to produce the goods in this cup final against a side who've shipped 23 league goals and only accumulated 14 points, residing in 16th place.

Like August's head-to-head, this final should be one-way traffic. Although 9/1 isn't the most glamorous price for a player to score a hat-trick, there are enough reasons to be attracted to Mbappe running riot.

The Frenchman has managed three goals in one game this campaign, putting a trio of strikes past Stade Reims' goalkeeper away from the Parc des Princes in mid-November. That occasion marked his 16th senior career hat-trick and his 12th while playing for PSG.

With this same bet 13/2 elsewhere and Toulouse having only kept three clean sheets in their last 14 matches, we wouldn't be surprised to see Mbappe leading the charge in a rampant final where PSG publish a similar scoreline to Liverpool's 5-1 Europa League victory over Toulouse at Anfield in October.
