PSG look too short to trust at full time. The Parisians may have the stronger squad on paper, but this is far from an ideal spot to back them at the 90-minute mark. Their pre-season has been disrupted by the World Cup, several key players are still short of match sharpness, and they managed only a 1-1 draw with Manchester United in their latest outing. Aston Villa, meanwhile, have had a much busier pre-season and should be physically ready for a competitive contest. With PSG unlikely to be at their best yet, the smarter betting angle is to oppose the short-priced favorite — Aston Villa to avoid defeat at full time.
