Arsenal and PSG look to unleash their goal-scoring potential in this highly-anticipated Champions League clash on Tuesday.
There should be plenty of entertainment at both ends, as neither side will settle for leftovers in this match. Their below-par scoring performances on Matchday 1 are set to become a distant memory, as I explain in my Arsenal vs. PSG predictions and free betting picks for Tuesday, October 1.
Arsenal vs PSG picks and predictions
My best bet:
Over 2.5 (-133 at Betano)
My analysis
If you're looking for teams that love attacking, then look no further as Arsenal vs. PSG has “goals” written all over it.
Arsenal head into this clash unbeaten in four European matches against PSG (1-0-3). PSG aims to eliminate that 0-fer, as Arsenal is the opponent they faced the most times without winning. It could go either way this time, so I feel opting for the Over makes more sense.
Despite settling for a goalless draw in Bergamo on Champions League Matchday 1, Arsenal have been involved in three high-scoring games over the past nine days. They drew 2-2 away at Premier League champions Man City on September 22 before two six-goal thrillers against Bolton in the League Cup (5-1) and Leicester (4-2) in the Premiership.
Arteta's men are keen on making a statement against PSG, but the French champions will be on a mission in London as well.
Despite losing Mbappe, PSG are cruising in French Ligue 1. They are first after six matches (5-0-1), scoring 20 times and conceding once. If they find a way to convert the multiple chances they create, they can be a Champions League contender even in the post-Mbappe era.
They are constantly sending more than 20 shots per game, including 26 shots in their 1-0 win over Girona Champions League Matchday 1, indicating that they can easily find solutions to endanger the opposition. Arsenal will play for goals too, so PSG will have space and will aim to harm the hosts.
A juicy +177 return for Over 3.5 goals can also be considered and even the +390 for the Over 4.5 goals might be reachable on this occasion for the most adventurous punters.
Arsenal vs PSG same-game parlay (SGP)
Over 2.5
Both teams to score - Yes
Under 5.5 yellow cards
This match is expected to be a viewer's delight, so even neutral fans should be drawn in to watch along as Arsenal and PSG put up their attacking displays at the Emirates on Tuesday.
The ref chosen for this match is Slovenian official Slavko Vincic. He hasn't shown more than five yellow cards in any of his previous seven games he was in charge of, so it looks like a solid option to go for the Under 5.5 bookings to round up a nice SGP.
Both Arsenal and PSG are creative teams and attack-oriented, so the probability of contacts leading to sanctions is not as high.
