Champions League Final Picks and Prediction: PSG vs Arsenal

• Best Bet – Under 2.5 Goals (-120)

• Best Bet – PSG to score NO goals (+280)

Arsenal have a huge chance to cap a fantastic season by winning the Champions League against reigning holders PSG.

It’s surprising to see the Gunners priced as underdogs here, with the matchup likely to suit Mikel Arteta’s side perfectly given Arsenal remain arguably the best defensive team in Europe, being well capable of disrupting PSG’s free-flowing attack.

That showed in last year’s two-legged semi-final meeting, where despite missing four key starters Arsenal won the xG battle 4.54 to 2.90 only to lose 3-1 on aggregate.

This time, the Gunners arrive fully healthy and with far greater depth.

PSG have scored freely in recent knockout rounds, but their finishing has massively overperformed underlying numbers, with PSG scoring 18 goals from just 8.4 expected goals across six games.

Against Arsenal’s defensive structure, those chances should be far harder to create.

Under 2.5 goals rates the best bet here, with Arsenal unlikely to let this game become an end-to-end style match. Six of the last seven Champions League finals have gone under the total.

The bigger odds available for Arsenal to keep a clean sheet are worth a look, too, given just how strong the Gunners are at the back. They’ve kept four clean sheets in their last five UCL knockout games.
