Arsenal v PSG Prediction & Betting Tips

Tuesday | 19:00 UTC | Emirates Stadium | UEFA Champions League

Arsenal welcome Paris Saint-Germain to the Emirates for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final, with a golden opportunity to put one foot in the final on home soil.

Gunners Poised After Real Rout

Mikel Arteta’s side announced themselves as serious contenders by dismantling Real Madrid 5–1 over two legs in the quarter-finals. It’s their first Champions League semi-final since 2009, and they’ll be keen to make the most of the momentum.

With the Premier League title slipping away, this is Arsenal’s last shot at silverware this season, and they look like they mean business. The Gunners haven’t lost at the Emirates in Europe this campaign, and they’ve already beaten PSG here earlier in the group phase.

PSG’s Premier League Killing Spree

Luis Enrique’s side arrive in north London after seeing off both Liverpool and Aston Villa in the knockouts. It’s been a long time coming for PSG, who are desperate to get over the final-four hurdle they fell at last season.

They’ve got depth, experience and match-winners across the pitch, but they’ll need to keep things tight here. The Parisians are yet to keep a clean sheet in their last nine away European ties.

How the Bookies See It

Arsenal are slight favourites to take a first-leg lead at 2.14. PSG are priced at 3.40 to return to Paris with an advantage, while the draw is available at 3.40.

A low-scoring game is expected, with under 2.5 goals priced at 1.89.

Head-to-Head: Gunners with the Psychological Edge

The Gunners won the reverse fixture 2–0 at the Emirates earlier this season, and that could give them the mental advantage. They’re also unbeaten in 3 of their last 4 Champions League meetings with PSG.

Players to Watch

Bukayo Saka was immense against Madrid, scoring the goal that killed off the tie and constantly threatening down the right. He’s priced at 1.80 to either score or assist here.

On the PSG side, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has looked sharp in the knockout rounds. He’s 1.98 to register a shot on target, decent value given his willingness to let fly from range.

Predicted Lineups

Arsenal: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Rice, Merino; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli
PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Barcola, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
