Paris Saint-Germain vs. Arsenal
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Arsenal to score over 1.5 goals
| |
6/4 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Arsenal have the firepower to trouble PSG in Paris, having scored at least two goals in each of their last four European away matches. With the Gunners chasing a comeback, expect goals in this high-stakes encounter. | |
Key Stats:
- Arsenal have scored at least two goals in each of their last four European away matches.
- PSG have netted 14 goals across their last three Champions League home victories.
- Only two teams have overturned a home first-leg deficit to reach a Champions League final.
Rationale
Arsenal find themselves in familiar yet daunting territory as they head to the Parc des Princes, needing to overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit against Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League semi-final. While history isn’t on their side – only two clubs have ever managed to reach the final after losing the first leg at home – the Gunners have shown resilience on the road this season. Mikel Arteta’s side are unbeaten in their last seven away matches in all competitions, winning each of their last four European away days and scoring at least twice in each.
They can draw confidence from their impressive 2-1 victory over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in the previous round, a result that underlined their ability to deliver under pressure. PSG, on the other hand, have been unpredictable, with three defeats in their last six matches, including a shock 2-1 loss to Strasbourg. Given these contrasting trends, Arsenal’s attacking firepower, led by Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, and Declan Rice, could cause serious problems for a PSG side that has looked shaky at times.
