Champions League Group Stage: Arsenal vs Paris SG
Published November 23, 2016 by Sol FH
Arsenal vs Paris SG in their second match of the Group Stage and bettors can catch all the action tonight at 19:45 GMT.
Arsenal have a chance to secure top spot in Group A of the Champions League with a win over Paris Saint Germain tonight at Emirates Stadium. Arsene Wenger is confident that he will lead his team to the latter stages of the tournament, and if they win the group, they will have a much easier route to get there. In the round of 16, Arsenal has a chance to play against a weaker team than if they were not to win tonight, which is obviously something that Wenger wants to avoid.
Arsenal had already qualified for a knockout stage berth after they beat Ludogorets 3-2, but the last time that they faced Paris SG it ended in a 1-1 draw. Arsenal are in fourth place in the Premier League and were held to a draw against Tottenham last week. Both PSG and Arsenal are tied in Group A with 10 points, but Wenger has a clear advantage playing at the Emirates tonight. Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 17 matches and with a healthy roster tonight, they should have no problem finishing the job tonight.
PSG have one won a single away game in their last eight matches against English teams in all competitions losing four and drawing thrice. They have never beaten Arsenal at home or away and have yet to keep a clean sheet against English clubs in their last nine games. That is good news for the hot foot of Mesut Ozil as he has netted four and helped out on two of the last eight Gunners' goals in the Champions League. Arsenal must stop Edinson Cavani and shut down the early lead, which has been the only tough task for them in this competition.
Prediction
The Gunners will win tonight, but PSG will score at least one goal. Smart punters could wager 3-1 easily for the home side and maximize profits.
