Analysis and predictions for PSG vs Arsenal: The decisive blow in Paris.

Latest PSG vs Arsenal team news

The only downside for PSG after the first leg was that goalscorer Dembele suffered a hamstring strain. The club confirmed that his recovery is progressing well, but his availability for the second leg remains uncertain.

Therefore, Goncalo Ramos is likely to start in attack, while the South Korean playmaker Lee Kang-in is also a doubt due to an injury sustained in the match against Strasbourg, but he wasn't expected to start anyway.

Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz will return to the midfield alongside Joao Neves – the only player to have started both of the last two matches – while Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will lead the two wings in attack.

On Arsenal's side, Thomas Partey was suspended for the first leg for receiving an unnecessary yellow card at the Bernabeu, but is now available to return to the starting lineup in central midfield.

Partey will partner with Declan Rice and captain Martin Odegaard – who suffered a minor injury last weekend that is not serious – however Jurrien Timber will need to be assessed for fitness after missing the defeat to Bournemouth.

Jorginho (lung), Gabriel Jesus (knee), Kai Havertz (hamstring), Gabriel Magalhaes (hamstring), and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) are still unavailable, as is Riccardo Calafiori, who has a persistent knee problem.

Latest PSG vs Arsenal football match prediction

In some ways, the first leg between Arsenal and PSG was reminiscent of the second leg of the quarter-final between the Gunners and Real Madrid; the only difference being that this time, it was the Premier League representatives who warmed up before the match but disappointed on the pitch.

Completely unconcerned by the fan videos and bizarre tifo displays in North London, the Ligue 1 champions under Luis Enrique delivered a knockout blow after just four minutes thanks to a goal from Dembele – who equaled PSG's record for most goals contributed in a single Champions League season, matching Kylian Mbappe's record.

After a Mikel Merino goal was disallowed, PSG left England with a 1-0 victory – a fragile but extremely valuable win – giving them a significant advantage in the race for a place in the final in Munich, where they will face either Barcelona or Inter Milan.

In the past, PSG have only been eliminated once in European competition after winning the first leg away from home – and that was against an English side: Manchester United in the 2018-19 season. This past weekend, Enrique also witnessed his team lose 1-2 to Strasbourg in Ligue 1.

This result extends the Parisian club's unimpressive run of form – they have lost three and won only two of their last six matches in all competitions. However, this is partly explained by Enrique fielding a reserve team last weekend – something Arsenal failed to do.

While PSG lost to Strasbourg with a reserve squad, Arsenal also suffered a 1-2 defeat against Bournemouth despite fielding many key players. The defense continued to be a major concern for the Gunners as they conceded an early goal.

Declan Rice's forward run and finish gave Arsenal the lead in the first half, but this was the 10th time this season they have dropped points after taking the lead – a dismal record in the club's Premier League history. Dean Huijsen headed in the equalizer, before Evanilson capitalized on the ensuing chaos to seal the victory for Bournemouth.

Although Evanilson's goal showed signs of a handball – or more accurately, an elbow touch – Arsenal fans could hardly object to the lackluster attacking performance from their team, which puts them at risk of failing to finish in the top five of the Premier League.

Furthermore, only two teams have ever successfully come back from a home defeat in the Champions League semi-finals: Ajax against Panathinaikos in 1996 and Tottenham against Ajax in 2019 – and Spurs certainly wouldn't want to reveal their secret to their rivals.

Nevertheless, there is still hope for Arsenal. They are unbeaten in seven consecutive away games across all competitions, including four recent wins in European competitions, scoring at least two goals in each match.

If Arsenal can replicate their 2-1 victory at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid, they will have a chance to take the game into extra time. However, PSG have scored 14 goals in their last three home Champions League matches, so the concerns of Arsenal fans are entirely justified.
