UEFA Champions League Prediction: Arsenal – PSG (01-10-2024)

Last week, the debut round of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League season was played, during which the new format was unveiled. Next week, the UEFA Champions League is back, and the second round will feature some spectacular matches.

One of them is Arsenal vs. Paris Saint-Germain. Let’s look at this match, which will be played on 1 October.

In the first round, Arsenal surprisingly drew 0-0 away against Atalanta. The London club was considered the clear favorites, and a win was expected. PSG won 1-0, but it was a tough match.

The goal came in the 90th minute after a regrettable goalkeeping error. Opening with a win is important, but the Parisian side should play more convincingly against a club like Girona this year.

In their last game, Arsenal drew against Manchester City 2-2 away and narrowly missed out on a victory. The equalising goal was conceded in the 90+8th minute. PSG also drew, as they failed to beat Reims away from home.

Five-game winning streak that started the 2024-25 season was broken. PSG will face its biggest challenge of the season on 1 October – they haven’t played against an opponent of this level yet.

Arsenal is not in the best of form, but the young Londoners look much better at home than away. The team hasn’t lost a single game this season – four wins and three draws.

Due to injury, Arsenal will be without a key player, Martin Odegaard, and Oleksandr Zinchenko will also be injured. However, this should not prevent them from claiming their first victory in the UEFA Champions League.

After parting with Kylian Mbappe, PSG will have to look for a new leader, which is needed in such matches. The team has a lot of talent, but it is quite difficult to identify a leader.

We have already seen against Girona how difficult it is for the team in important matches, and it will be no easier in London. It would not have been unexpected if PSG had not scored and Arsenal had won 1-0 or 2-0.
