Arsenal v PSG Betting Tips [1 October 2024]

Arsenal will return to Champions League action with a home match against PSG on Tuesday. In this Match Day 2 encounter, the Gunners will hope to rise from their 0-0 draw with Atalanta. PSG will look to build on their win over Girona; let’s take a look at the preview and prediction.

This game marks the fourth meeting between these teams, but they’ve met competitively twice. Their non-friendly matches ended in draws; 1-1 in Paris and 2-2 at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal will have an upper hand coming into this one, playing at home, where they’ve dominated most of their games.

Mikel Arteta’s side is coming from a 4-2 win against Leicester City. Here they go into a third straight home match, having scored nine times in the last two.

While Arsenal needed two stoppage time goals to see off Leicester, PSG’s weekend was much more comfortable. For starters, they played a day before Arsenal, and beat Rennes 3-1 in Ligue 1.

By the time Rennes got to score, that tie was over as a contest, PSG leading 3-0 at the time. This will be arguably PSG’s toughest match so far in the season. They carry to London a seven-match unbeaten run and in that period they managed just one draw.

The French champions scored three times in three of their last five matches but managed just one clean sheet in the process. In the Champions League, they don’t have a very strong record, losing three and winning twice.

Arsenal will be buoyed by their crucial win against Leicester City and playing at home gives them the advantage. In this competition they are unbeaten in five home matches and have posted wins in four of them.

PSG on the other hand, come here with a recent history of struggles in the Champions League. Meanwhile, both sides have been a bit shaky defensively, and we expect to see that, looking at the attacks on display. Our prediction for Arsenal v PSG is for Arsenal to win and over 2.5 goals.
