Arsenal and PSG meet in the Champions League on Tuesday, April 29th, at 8pm (UK time). The match will be broadcast live in the United Kingdom on Amazon Prime.
Arsenal overcame Real Madrid in the quarter finals whilst PSG were able to move past Aston Villa. With a place in the final on the line, which side will gain a first leg advantage in this tie?
Myles Lewis-Skelly 2+ Fouls Won (5/6 with Betfair)
Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly has a real knack at winning fouls and against Real Madrid in the second leg, he racked up five. A week before that, he was fouled an incredible seven times against Fulham. Over his last seven starts, he averages 3 fouls won per game, while this bet of him to clear the 2+ line has landed in 11 of his last 13 starts. In a game where I expect a high foul count for both teams, this looks like a great bet.
Bukayo Saka & Ousmane Dembele both to Score (12/1 with Sky Bet)
At 12/1 via Sky Bet’s price boosts, I like the look of both Bukayo Saka and Ousmane Dembele to find the net. I think both teams will score at The Emirates and these two players will be the most likely goal threats. Saka is the top scorer for Arsenal in the Champions League this season, having bagged five. Dembele has seven goals in Europe this term, while he has a further 19 in Ligue 1 for the Parisians.
How both teams go into Arsenal vs PSG
Arsenal come into this tie off the back of a sensational two-legged victory over Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. They won 3-0 in the first leg and followed that up with a 2-1 victory at the Bernabeu, giving them a 5-1 aggregate victory. It was a result that many did not expect, but it should give Mikel Arteta’s side a huge lift going into the semi-finals. Previously, they had beaten PSV 9-3 on aggregate in the round of 16.
PSG have reached the semi-final stage by beating Aston Villa 5-4 on aggregate in a tight quarter-final tie. They looked dominant in the first leg but found things difficult in the second leg as Aston Villa piled on the pressure. Villa were the second English side that PSG have beaten in the competition this year, with Liverpool being defeated by the Parisian side on penalties in the Round of 16. Can they make it three English sides defeated to make the final?
