Match Context and Importance

PSG, under Luis Enrique, arrives with confidence after the first-leg draw, where Ousmane Dembélé scored a stunning goal to keep the tie alive. The Parisians finished third in the Champions League league phase (5 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss, 20 goals) and eliminated Real Madrid 4-3 in the quarterfinals, with Kylian Mbappé (7 goals) as their talisman. Their recent 2-0 win over Lens in Ligue 1 on May 4, 2025, reinforces their form, though the Parc des Princes has shown vulnerabilities, with two draws in their last four home games. The recovery of Dembélé is a boost, but Presnel Kimpembe is doubtful with a knee knock, potentially opening the door for Lucas Beraldo. PSG will look to leverage Mbappé's speed and Bradley Barcola's flair to break down Arsenal's defense, backed by 47,000 passionate fans.

Prediction and Additional Context

PSG is favored at home with odds of +140, driven by Mbappé and Dembélé, while Arsenal is at +170, with a draw at +250. The 1-1 first leg and both teams' attacking records (PSG 20 goals, Arsenal 25) suggest a match with over 2.5 goals (-120). The bet for "both teams to score" (-130) is likely, given the quality of Saka and Mbappé. A 2-1 win for PSG is predicted, with Mbappé likely to score, though Arsenal could force penalties with a late goal.
