talkSPORT betting tips – Best bets and expert advice for Arsenal vs PSG
Arsenal took a giant step towards their maiden Champions League title by dethroning holders Real Madrid in impressive fashion in the quarter-finals, winning both home and away to reach the last four. Standing in their way of a second appearance in the final are Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain, who themselves are chasing a first Champions League title, having lost to Bayern Munich in their only previous final in 2019/20. The first leg of this semi-final tie takes place at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday (kick-off 8pm), with the return leg in the French capital on Wednesday, May 7. BET £10 GET £30 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BET Arsenal vs PSG betting tips Arsenal to win @ 11/10 Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score bet builder @ 23/20 Nuno Mendes 1+ Shot on Target @ 3/1 Arsenal to win @ 11/10 Arsenal will undoubtedly be buoyed by their performances against Real, not least by making home advantage count with a 3-0 demolition job at the Emirates, but also by following up with a 2-1 win at the Bernabeu in a game that they did not have to win in the face of the “remontada” hype that preceded the second leg. The Gunners have been strong at home in Europe’s elite competition, going 11 matches unbeaten which includes nine wins. Only PSV have prevented Mikel Arteta’s men from having a perfect home record in this season’s competition but that was arguably down to the fact the damage had been done in the first leg in a 7-1 rout. While PSG have shown their class at various times in Europe this season, they are far from consistent, having been forced to dig deep in a 3-2 defeat at Aston Villa in the quarter-final second leg to hang on for a 5-4 aggregate success. Luis Enrique’s men are not coming into the game in the best of form either, having won just one of their last four games in all competitions, losing twice in that time which includes a strong team being downed 3-1 by Nice on Friday night. Les Parisiens have already lost five times in the Champions League this season, which includes a 2-0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates in October in the League Phase, and the Gunners can secure a crucial first-leg advantage. Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score bet builder @ 23/20 Goals look an almost certainty given the attacking talent on show, combined with some defensive frailty shown by PSG at Villa Park, while all four legs of the pair’s quarter-finals combined saw at least three goals. The Gunners have not been held off the scoreboard in any of their last 15 home games in the Champions League, while they have scored in 10 of their last 11 European contests (home or away) this season. PSG have also notched in eight of their last nine games in Europe, the exception being their failure to make any of their 27 attempts at goal count against Liverpool in Paris, and both teams can contribute to what should be an entertaining affair. Nuno Mendes 1+ Shot on Target @ 3/1 While there are a host of attacking options to consider from either side in the shots on target market, Nuno Mendes looks a very tempting price at 3/1 to test David Raya at least once in the game. Both wing-backs for PSG play a prominent role in the team’s forward play with Achraf Hakimi having fired off 30 attempts, 13 of which have hit the target in the competition so far. Mendes’s figures aren’t necessarily as impressive at first glance with 15 shots fired of which four have been on target, but the Portugal international is second on the team’s Champions league scoring charts with four goals, and has the attacking confidence of netting in both legs of the quarter-final against Aston Villa. He looks great value to at least work Raya on Tuesday, with Hakimi only 7/5.
