Arsenal vs PSG prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 1, 2024
The UEFA Champions League is back this week, and on Tuesday, October 1, Arsenal will take on PSG in their second match of the group stage. The encounter is set to kick off at 21:00 Central European Time, and our experts at Dailysports have prepared a prediction for this exciting clash.
Arsenal
The Gunners started their European campaign with a match against Atalanta, which ended in a hard-fought 0-0 draw. However, Arsenal’s fortunes in the Premier League are much brighter. The team has played six matches, securing 14 points from four victories against Wolverhampton, Aston Villa, Tottenham, and Leicester, along with draws against Manchester City and Brighton.
They currently boast a goal difference of 12-5 and trail the league leaders by just one point. The competition in the Premier League is fierce, with only a two-point gap separating the first and fifth-placed teams.
PSG
The Parisians are also in excellent form, having narrowly defeated Girona 1-0 in their opening Champions League match. Despite a low scoreline, they created numerous chances, making the victory well-deserved. PSG is also performing well in Ligue 1, where they have one draw and five wins from six matches.
They currently sit atop the league table with 16 points and an impressive goal difference of 20-5. Although they lost their star player Kylian Mbappé this summer, the team has adapted well to new challenges, with Bradley Barcola emerging as a new leader, currently leading the Ligue 1 scoring chart with six goals.
