THE French season kicks off today with the Super Cup showdown between two superpowers … in China.
Monaco try to wrest the trophy away from PSG who've won it five years on the spin and could hand Neymar his first club appearance in six months after the Brazilian's post World Cup break.
The Parisians have ex-Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel in charge for the first time in a competitive fixture but he'll be without other stellar names such as Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe following their summer exploits in Russia.
In the absence of their big hitters PSG's experimental pre-season line-ups lost 3-1 to Bayern Munich and 5-1 to Arsenal before beating Atletico Madrid 3-2 so the form books suggests goals today.
Monaco, who've lost the last six meetings all of which have gone over 2.5 goals, have had a summer of squad upheaval with Thomas Lemar and Fabinho the highest profile departures.
Aleksandr Golovin, who shone for Russia at the World Cup, has arrived but won't feature today and his new team's pre-season results have also seen plenty of goals at both ends so go for btts at 4-7 with Sportingbet.
Add the Belgian meeting of Eupen and Charleroi at 4-5 with Sportingbet. Two of last season's three meetings landed the bet and Eupen have gone 11 league games without keeping a clean sheet, starting the new campaign with a 5-2 defeat at Brugge last week.
Charleroi crashed 1-0 at home to Antwerp but can get on the scoresheet at the leaky hosts.
Complete the treble with Sturm Graz's trip to Wacker Innsbruck in the Austrian Bundesliga at 9-13 with SportPesa. Graz suffered a 5-1 aggregrate doing to Ajax in the Champions League in between kicking off their domestic campaign with a 3-2 win over new boys Hartberg.
They face another promoted side today and Innsbruck will be looking to get off the mark following their 2-1 defeat at Austria Vienna.
