UEFA Super Cup Betting

The summer often sees increased football betting volumes, with most major leagues commencing in August and September.

This includes the UEFA Super Cup, which is contested every year by the previous season’s UCL and UEFA Europa League winners. 2025 will see the 50th iteration of the competition, with PSG taking on Tottenham Hotspur in Udine on August 13th.

In this guide, we’ll look at the most telling UEFA Super Cup betting trends, while also providing some expert tips and insights.

What is the UEFA Super Cup?

The European Super Cup was conceived back in 1971, by Dutch reporter Anton Witkamp. At the time, the European Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup were the top UEFA competitions, and Witkamp wanted a definitive way to determine which club side was the best on the continent.

So, Witkamp proposed the idea of an annual clash between the winners of the European Cup and European Cup Winners Cup. The first official Super Cup tie was contested in 1973 by Ajax and AC Milan, with the former (who had lifted the European Cup the previous season) prevailing by an aggregate score of 6-1. The Super Cup was initially contested over two legs, and this didn't change permanently until 1998.

Following the 1998/99 campaign, the European Cup Winners' Cup was disbanded as UEFA reorganised continental football. Instead, all subsequent Super Cup iterations pitted the Champions League victors against the winners of the UEFA Cup (and latterly the Europa League). In the 1999/00 campaign, UEFA cupholders Lazio defeated the previous season's UCL winners Manchester United.

UEFA Super Cup Betting Insights

As with any iteration of UEFA betting, the Super Cup unlocks several trends and historical insights. These can help to inform your future picks and selections, regardless of the prevailing UEFA super cup betting odds. Here are some key betting insights to keep in mind ahead of the 2025 showpiece:

• Champions League Winners Dominate the Super Cup: In the 49 previous UEFA Super Cup renewals, the Champions League holders have won 29 times (59.18%). Since the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup was disbanded in 1999, the Europa League holders have prevailed in just eight out of 25 finals contested (32%). Atlético Madrid have accounted for three of these victories (in 2010, 2012 and 2018), and they remain the only non-UCL holders to lift the Super Cup since Zenit in 2008.
• Clubs in Spain and England Have Won 27 Super Cups: Interestingly, clubs heralding from Spain and England have won 27 of the 49 previous UEFA Super Cups (55.10%). Spain have accounted for 17 victories, with Real Madrid (six titles) and Barcelona (five) particularly dominant. France have produced no Super Cup winners and just a single finalist since the tournament was established, with PSG losing 9-2 to Juventus in a two-legged final in 1996.
• The Likelihood of Extra-Time and Penalties: Since the Super Cup was initiated in 1972, 12 of the 49 matches contested have been settled after extra-time (24.48%). This means that there may be some value in backing one of the competing teams to win the tie, rather than prevailing after 90 minutes. Four matches have also gone to penalties, with each of these instances occurring since 2013.

UEFA Super Cup Betting Tips for 2025

Of course, each UEFA Super Cup match features different teams and unlocks variable odds and betting markets. Based on the latest UEFA Cup odds here at interwetten, here are some tips to help you place the best value wagers:

1. Back Both Teams to Score: While PSG swept all before them in 2024/25, they displayed genuine vulnerability against swift counterattacks and high pressing during their Club World Cup final defeat to Chelsea. They also conceded goals against Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal during the knockout rounds of last season’s Champions League, and Spurs will undoubtedly look to exploit their typically high defensive line. So, get on both teams to score here during the 90 minutes.
2. Bet on Over 2.5 Goals Being Scored: Most Super Cup over/under betting takes place around the 2.5 goals line. The 65 games contested by PSG last season yielded a total of 227 goals at a rate of 3.49 per 90 minutes, with Luis Enrique’s men scoring 168 alone. Spurs played 60 matches in total, which produced 194 goals at a rate of 3.23 per 90. Given this and the fact we expect both teams to score in Udine, we’d also recommend backing over 2.5 goals during the 90 minutes.
3. Pick PSG With Over 2.5 Goal Scored: Further analysis of last season’s scoring data reveals that PSG dramatically outscored their opponents across all competitions (they only conceded 59 times in total). Conversely, Spurs conceded 89 goals in their 60 matches, at the significant rate of 1.48 per 90 minutes. So, there’s value in backing PSG to win with over 2.5 goals scored in the game, with this combination likely to unlock a lower implied probability value but higher potential return.

Past UEFA Super Cup Winners

As we’ve touched on, Real Madrid have won the Super Cup a record six times. La Liga rihas Barcelona and AC Milan have each triumphed on five occasions, while Premier League giants Liverpool have four titles to their name.
