Arsenal’s pressing style and PSG’s possession game should produce an exciting and high-scoring encounter. Arsenal have scored 105 goals across 52 matches with an average of 2.02 goals per game. In Europe, they have scored 30 goals in 12 games and averaged 2.5 goals per game. Similarly, PSG also boasts 30 goals in 14 Champions League matches, averaging 2.15 goals per game. Three of their previous five meetings have also yielded over 2.5 goals, so we expect the game outcome to exceed two goals.

Bukayo Saka has been a primary driving force behind Arsenal’s ambitions in this tournament this season. He is the team’s leading scorer with five Champions League goals, which outperforms his expected goals (xG) of 2.82. Saka opened the scoring at the BernabĂ©u despite missing an earlier spot kick. The 23-year-old found the net against PSG earlier in the group phase, and we expect him to net again on Tuesday night.
