Arsenal vs PSG Predictions for Champions League Final

Score Prediction: PSG 2, Arsenal 0

PSG may not be able to replicate last year’s 5-0 blowout of Inter Milan in the Champions League final, but they do look poised to be crowned kings of Europe for a second straight year.

They dismantled English sides Chelsea and Liverpool in the knockout stage before surviving a heavyweight semifinal bout with Bayern Munich, which showed just how good they can be.

Plus, with the Ligue 1 title wrapped up early, PSG has been able to rest players and head into the Champions League final as healthy as possible.

Arsenal, on the other hand, hasn’t had much time to rest and prepare for PSG amidst a hectic late-season schedule, trying to hold onto the Premier League trophy and then celebrating that accomplishment.

One has to question how focused the Gunners have been on PSG in the lead-up to Saturday’s game and if they’ll be ready to face an elite opponent.

Arsenal’s late-season schedule has been rather soft, including some favorable Champions League matchups, and, based on a pair of losses to Manchester City in March and April, PSG might be a level above Arsenal.

Arsenal vs PSG Best Bets for Champions League Final

PSG ML (+135) vs Arsenal

In fairness, Arsenal is yet to lose a Champions League game this season.

The Gunners went 8-0 in the league phase and produced three wins and three draws during the knockout stage en route to the final.

However, they’ve been unconvincing at times, sneaking past the likes of Sporting CP and Atletico Madrid, and playing PSG will be a huge step up in competition.

Moreover, the Parisians have been the best team during the knockout stage, outscoring opponents 18-7 since the Round of 16, and in the end, they’ll be able to overpower and outclass the Gunners in the final third.

Arsenal vs PSG: Under 2.5 Goals (-105)

Before PSG’s 5-0 blowout of Inter Milan last season, there was a run of six consecutive Champions League finals that ended with two goals or fewer.

While there is always a lot of hype and anticipation around the final, teams often play it safe, leading to a lack of goal-scoring chances.

Moreover, Arsenal has an incredible defensive record in the Champions League, conceding just six goals in 14 games, while PSG has a top-notch backline that features world-class defenders.

Despite the attacking talent on both sides, it’s far more likely that the Champions League final is another low-scoring affair, making under 2.5 goals my UCL pick of the day.
