PSG vs Arsenal Champions League semifinal prediction from SBR's Gabe Henderson:
Best Bet: Under 3 goals (-110 DraftKings)
"There was little to separate these two sides in the first leg. Ousmane Dembele's strike inside five minutes proved to be the difference, which means there's everything to play for in the second leg.
The last time Les Parisiens reached a European final (2020), they did so on the back of brilliant defending under now-England manager Thomas Tuchel. They'll have to rely on their disciplined defensive shape again to keep one of the continent's most clinical sides off the scoresheet for a second straight meeting.
Luis Enrique's side was able to control the first leg by overwhelming the Gunners in the middle of the pitch with bodies. Arsenal's desperation and the reintegration of Thomas Partey into the side will make it significantly more difficult for PSG to achieve this, even at Parc des Princes.
Bukayo Saka and Co. will be looking to force the issue all night long. Although it may appear the hosts are disjointed at times with Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes bombing forward in possession, PSG have a seasoned veteran (Marquinhos) and a stellar sweeper (Willian Pacho) keeping guard at the back.
Trying to predict this result is even more difficult than tending goal in a Barcelona vs. Inter Milan semifinal. However, we're confident Gianluigi Donnarumma and David Raya won't see much action with these disciplined tactical sides playing stubborn soccer in Paris."
Best player prop: Thomas Partey to receive a booking (+175 Caesars)
"Partey returns for the second leg of this tie after missing the first leg through suspension for, you guessed it, yellow card accumulation. The Ghanaian has had his name taken down in his last three Champions League appearances - all knockout ties - a commonplace occurrence for defensive midfielders.
He'll step back into the No. 6 role, anchoring the midfield against a Paris Saint-Germain side that counters with blistering pace. Given that the French champions built up their play in possession through Dembele in the middle of the pitch last match, Partey is primed for a yellow card in a cagey contest."
