PSG vs Arsenal: Champions League final preview, predictions and bet builder tips

• Ladbrokes previews PSG vs Arsenal in the Champions League final on Saturday, May 30, with the game taking place at 5:00pm.

• Paris Saint-Germain are tipped to win the Champions League for the second consecutive season, with Luis Enrique’s side backed to edge out Arsenal in European football’s biggest game.

• PSG’s electric attack is expected to prove decisive against an Arsenal side whose defensive structure has carried them to the final.

Ladbrokes brings you an in-depth PSG vs Arsenal preview for the Champions League final, including predictions and bet builder tips.

PSG have looked unstoppable at times in Europe this season and head into the final aiming to defend the trophy they won so emphatically against Inter Milan last year.

Luis Enrique’s side thrashed Inter 5-0 in that final and, despite a slow start to this season’s competition, they have grown stronger with every knockout round. They're the favourites to win the final.

Arsenal, meanwhile, have been incredibly difficult to beat and remain unbeaten in the Champions League this season across both the league and knockout phases.

However, while Mikel Arteta’s side have been defensively outstanding, questions remain about whether they possess the attacking ruthlessness needed to beat Europe’s elite on the biggest stage.

With Champions League glory on the line, read on for our in-depth PSG vs Arsenal bet builder.

PSG vs Arsenal Champions League final bet builder tips

Gabriel 1+ shot

Arsenal went 1-0 up in their last Champions League final, a 2-1 loss to Barcelona, and it was their centre-back Sol Campbell who found the back of the net in Paris.

If Arsenal are to score in Hungary, we there's a good chance their goal comes from a set-piece, which is why we're tipping Gabriel for a shot.

At times this season, it's seemed that Arsenal's defence has been more offensively dangerous than their attack. Gabriel averages just shy of one shot per game in the Premier League and Champions League this season, scoring four goals across both competitions.

With Arsenal knowing their quality from set-pieces, and PSG not having the tallest players in world football, we expect Gabriel to test the opposition goalkeeper with a shot on Saturday.

Under 3.5 goals to be scored

Despite PSG’s reputation for thrilling, high-scoring matches, this final could be a tighter affair than many expect.

PSG showed against Bayern Munich in the semi-finals that they are capable of controlling games when required, with the second leg in Germany finishing 1-1 after their chaotic 5-4 first-leg win.

They also kept a clean sheet in last season’s final, underlining their ability to manage high-pressure occasions effectively.

Arsenal’s knockout matches have generally been low-scoring too, with only eight goals scored across their six Champions League knockout games this season.

Mikel Arteta’s side are defensively exceptional, but often methodical and cautious in attack, which points towards a relatively controlled final. All signs suggest under 3.5 goals is a strong play.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to score

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been one of the best wingers in the world for a while now, helping PSG reach back-to-back Champions League final with his performance against some of Europe's biggest and best teams.

The ex-Napoli winger has scored seven goals across his last seven Champions League matches including four goals in his four matches against English opposition in the form of Liverpool and Chelsea.

Interestingly, Arsenal did stop Kvaratskhelia from scoring in the two matches he played against the North London outfit last season. However, he did manage to score in the final, and we expect him to do the same in Budapest.

Arsenal under 1.5 goals

Arsenal’s defensive strength has been the foundation of their run to the final, but they have not always been ruthless in front of goal.

The Gunners have only scored more than once in a Champions League knockout match on one occasion this season, when they beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 at the Emirates back in March.

In fact, you have to go back to last season’s quarter-final against Real Madrid for the last time Arsenal scored more than one goal in a Champions League knockout game away from home.

That trend has also carried over into the Premier League, where Arsenal have averaged fewer than two goals per game this season.

While Arteta’s side are extremely well organised, which is why they've won the Premier League, their controlled style often limits the number of clear-cut chances they create.

Against a PSG side packed with elite-level attacking talent, Arsenal may struggle to score multiple goals.
