Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain Preview
Arsenal
Arsenal have not lost a match in the 2024/2025 season and their unbeaten streak stretches over eight official games. The average xG is not that high at first glance, but 1.75 in the Premier League is still a solid number.
Mikel Arteta adapts well to his opponents, so Arsenal look confident against every team. The strength of Arsenal’s squad is an advantage over PSG. A significant strength of this Arsenal side is their flank attack, particularly on the right side, where Bukayo Saka, Arsenal’s most expensive player, has been particularly influential.
The challenge. The roar.

The Gunners’ biggest loss is the injury of captain Martin Ødegaard, whose leadership and creativity will be missed. Additionally, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Mikel Merino, Kieran Tierney, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are sidelined, which could impact Arsenal’s squad depth and flexibility in upcoming matches.
Paris Saint-Germain
PSG have been unbeaten in official matches since last season. In the 2024/2025 campaign, Luis Enrique’s team won six times and drew only once. The combination of their powerful attack and strong defence has resulted in 21 goals scored and only 5 conceded with an average of 2.81 xG.
One of PSG’s advantages is their potent counterattacking ability. This strength will be crucial in London, as PSG the likely underdogs in this fixture. Additionally, the guests defend well in set pieces, making them tough opponents in dead-ball situations.

However, the Parisians have a massive injury blow, as Gigi Donnarumma is sidelined for this match. The absence of Marco Asensio, Vitinha, and Nuno Mendes further depletes PSG’s squad, which could affect their gameplay in the Champions League clash against Arsenal.

- Pick: Arsenal to Win
- Odds: 1.73 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Paris Saint-Germain
Arsenal are an extremely inconvenient opponent for PSG. The rivals have played each other six times, and the Parisians have never won while there were two draws and four defeats.
In the upcoming clash, we see the Gunners as favourites. Although the hosts have injury worries, they have improved from season to season under Mikel Arteta. Their most recent win against Leicester will further boost their confidence. Despite squandering a two-goal lead, they managed to win in the decisive minutes of the match.

At home, Arsenal are particularly formidable. The hosts have an excellent defence and an impeccable link between midfield and the offence. As a result, we expect the Gunners to secure a victory in this encounter.
Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.70 (22Bet)
The games between Arsenal and PSG have produced a lot of goals. In the four previous H2H matches, the opponents scored 15 goals against each other (3.75 on average per game). Each time there was an exchange of goals and this trend of exchanging goals suggests an aggressive offensive stance from both sides.

In addition, in the last three matches with Arsenal involved, there were 16 goals (5.33 on average per game), and PSG scored and conceded a total of 26 goals in seven previous encounters (3.71 on average per game). Both clubs are proficient in the offence, but have a somewhat porous defence, which could lead to multiple scoring opportunities.
Based on both teams’ current form and the history between them, we anticipate over 2.5 goals in this clash. Neither of the sides will plan to sit back and an entertaining match is expected.
