We’re down to four. The Champions League semis are loaded, with Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain on one side and Barcelona and Inter Milan on the other. Our final four kicks off tomorrow at the Emirates Stadium in London for this star-studded affair.
Neither of these clubs has claimed a Champions League trophy in its history. One will have that chance. But before that, there’s a first leg to settle. Let’s look at the best bets for this contest.
Arsenal vs. PSG Best Bets
The Gunners have been dominant at home during the Champions League. They’ve won five-of-six home ties, keeping clean sheets in all five wins. They only conceded to PSV Eindhoven in the second leg of a 7-1 aggregate contest. One of those wins includes a 2-0 victory over PSG at the Emirates.
Things will be more difficult this time around, to be sure. PSG had several starters sitting out of that contest while Arsenal were at full tilt. Still, it’s been in excellent form, especially on its home ground. I’d expect Arsenal to lead going into the second leg.
Bukayo Saka and Khvicha Khvaratskhelia 2+ Shots On Goal (+225 and +330)
Bukayo Saka has a way of showing up when Arsenal needs him most. And it’s never needed him more than right now.
The 23-year-old has been the driver of the Gunners’ offense all year. He’s already scored five goals through this Champions League run. Feeding off the energy of the home fans, I’d expect him to come out firing.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been dialed in for the Champions League on the Paris Saint-Germain side. He’s recorded as many goals in the tournament as in Ligue 1. The Georgian is on a hot streak and will look to break through a stout Arsenal defense in this one.
