PSG vs Arsenal Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Champions League 2024-25 semi-final second leg

Luis Enrique’s men will be coming in with a one-goal advantage.

Paris Saint-Germain are ready to host Arsenal in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 semi-final. The intense UCL contest between the two sides is all set to take place at the Parc des Princes Stadium.

PSG put up a good performance at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg. It was an away leg for them and Luis Enrique’s men were calm and composed throughout the game. They didn’t let the Gunners score a goal, which will be a big add-on for them going into the second leg.

Paris Saint-Germain already have a one-goal advantage and they will be looking to score some more goals. They will be at home for the second leg.

Arsenal will be coming in under pressure. They will have to make a comeback here, which is not a very big task here, but they will also have to avoid conceding any goals. As they are already one-goal behind, the Gunners might come up with some attacking football.

• Kick-off Time: 00:30 IST (Wednesday, May 7; 19:00 GMT/ 14:00 ET/ 11:00 PT)

Players to Watch

Ousmane Dembele (PSG)

Ousmane Dembele was the sole goal scorer in the UCL semi-final first leg between PSG and Arsenal. He gave his side an early leg and they will be coming in with the same advantage. Dembele is the top goal scorer for Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League this season.

He has 11 goal contributions in 13 UCL games this season and is going to play a crucial role in the attacking front for the Ligue 1 giants.

Declan Rice (Arsenal)

Declan Rice put in two good performances against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals. He will be looking to step up here as the Gunners need him more than ever now. Rice can score goals and can also control the midfield well. The English midfielder has scored four goals and grabbed three assists in 12 UCL games this season.
