Arsenal vs. Paris Saint-Germain picks and predictions
Prediction
Arsenal 1, Paris Saint-Germain 0
Moneyline (ML)
BET ARSENAL (-140).
Arsenal is the better team here and is the more proven side. PSG, since losing F Kylian Mbappe over the offseason, hasn’t played a competitive match in league play. While they have dominated competition, Arsenal should pose a far more competent threat.
Arsenal is rolling right now as it has won 2 in a row, beating Bolton in a midweek match Wednesday in the EFL Cup. The Gunners have impressive wins over Tottenham and Aston Villa this season and drew City, although they did arguably outplay them in that match.
They are 2-1-0 at home. Arsenal is the more experienced side and should be able to put it all together at home. Take ARSENAL (-140).
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 2.5 (+105).
When different leagues play each other, often the styles clash, and it is then difficult for offenses to find their rhythm. Arsenal saw that when it played Atalanta, a game that had just 2.0 expected goals and no actual goals scored.
Similarly, PSG won just 1-0, a game that finished with 2.3 expected goals. Both teams have beaten up weaker league competition and scored numerous goals in those games, but this should be a different level as both teams can possess well.
Expect a slower game as both have had in UEFA competition. Back UNDER 2.5 (+105). If you’re feeling adventuresome, you could also consider the alternativer Under 1.5 (+290) for a sweet payout.
