Team Previews, Form and Standout Players - A moment for Arsenal to prove themselves

Considering the new format of the Champions League, this could be a huge game when it comes to deciding who will go through to the knockout rounds. Both clubs are dominant in their county, and are prestigious European clubs.

Arsenal Preview

Arsenal Predicted Line-ups: David Raya; Riccardo Calafiori, Gabriel Magalhães, William Saliba, Jurrien Timber; Gabriel Martinelli, Declan Rice, Thomas Partey, Bukayo Saka; Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz.

In their last game, Arsenal proved that they can win a match no matter the circumstance, as they scored two goals in added time to seal all three points at home to Leicester City.

The Gunners drew 0-0 away to Europa League Champions Atalanta in their 2024/25 Champions League opener, after David Raya saved their skin with a penalty save.

Mikel Arteta’s men have been strong in the Premier League once again this season, with four wins and two draws in their first six. They’re currently third, level on points with second placed Manchester City, and just a point behind Liverpool on 16.

PSG Preview

PSG Predicted Line-up: Matvei Safonov; Lucas Beraldo, Willian Pacho, Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi; Fabián Ruiz, João Neves, Warren Zaïre-Emery; Bradley Barcola, Lee Kang-in, Ousmane Dembélé.

PSG could be considered as the favourites for this game. In recent years, they have shown strong progression in this tournament. They reached the final in 2020 when they lost to Bayern Munich, whereas Arsenal are only one campaign into their seven season UCL draught.

The Paris based side have won five of their six opening league games this campaign, and sit top of the league, ahead of Monaco on goal difference.

Last season, PSG were knocked out of the Champions League in the semi-final against Germany’s Borussia Dortmund.

Betting Tips for Arsenal vs PSG - A European humbling for Arsenal

Both of these clubs have never won the Champions League, which is a stat they desperately want to overcome. However, we believe the talent of the away side will be too much for Arsenal to handle.

PSG are by far the more experienced Champions League team at the moment. Arsenal experienced their first UCL campaign last season since 2017. The away side is a dominant club that expects to win every single season. Arsenal have of course progressed massively since then, but will not be up to the task in this game.

Through our bookmakers, you can get odds of 7/2 for this prediction. A £10 bet on this prediction would return £45.

Final Prediction: Arsenal vs PSG

Arsenal 1-3 PSG

It will be a moment for Arteta to reflect going forward this season. PSG will thrive on an away victory of this stature. In a new European format, it could be deadly for the Gunners.
