- Both teams unbeaten this season.
- Arsenal clear betting favorites but PSG’s European credentials backed by AI.
Arsenal host PSG in one of the biggest games from the Champions League Matchday 2.
Both sides come into today’s matchup in great form and will be looking to extend their unbeaten runs.
Picking a winner between the two is almost impossible though. Although the bookmakers have made the Gunners clear favorites, there is a lot more to consider when deciding which market to back.
| Arsenal | Draw | PSG |
|---|---|---|
| -136 | +283 | +405 |
For this article, we asked X’s Grok to make some AI soccer predictions for Arsenal vs. PSG in the Champions League that could be backed up with data-driven evidence.
Arsenal vs. PSG: AI Soccer Predictions and Preview
AI believes Arsenal have a slightly better chance of winning today’s game but refuses to rule out the possibility of the points being shared.
The Gunners are in great form and remain unbeaten so far this season. Today’s match will be one of their toughest tests yet though.
Luis Enrique’s side are also unbeaten since the start of the season, and, unlike Arsenal, got off to a winning start in Matchday 1 of the Champions League following a 1-0 win against Girona.
Arsenal’s European Record Gives PSG Hope
AI believes PSG’s ‘prowess’ on Europe’s biggest stage, which included reaching the final in 2019-20, makes them worthy of more respect.
Correctly picking up on PSG’s impressive European head-to-head record against Arsenal, which sees them unbeaten (two draws), AI believes Tuesday’s matchup will be a lot closer than the bookmakers’ odds suggest.
🚨 ⚽️ TIP: Double Chance: PSG / Draw is available at plus money (+110).
However, although Arsenal doesn’t have the best European reputation, the Gunners’ recent performance during a 2-2 draw in the Premier League against Manchester City has boosted AI’s overall appreciation.
Now viewed as a ‘resilient’ team after they dug deep with just 10 men against Pep Guardiola’s defending champions, although AI is cautious when it comes to backing Arsenal for the outright win, it does believe the side’s togetherness, and willingness to fight for manager Mikel Arteta, puts them in a great position not to lose against PSG.
Notable Absentees for Both Sides
There is another considerable boost for the home team — PSG will be without star winger Ousmane Dembele. The Frenchman has been dropped after falling out with Enrique.
The Gunners will also be without one of their best players — captain Martin Odegaard. The Norwegian midfielder is ruled out after he suffered an ankle injury while on international duty last month.
Gabriel Jesus could make his third start of the season though. The Brazilian led the line during Arsenal’s 0-0 draw away to Atalanta on Matchday 1 and may be asked to do the same against PSG.
Goals at Both Ends
With all these things considered, including both team’s current form, player availability, and where the bettor’s money has already gone, AI has predicted that both teams will score.
The team from the French capital have never lost to Arsenal in the Champions League — drawing on the two occasions the sides have met. For this reason, AI has predicted either an Arsenal narrow win or a score draw.
AI Prediction:
- Arsenal 2 – 1 PSG (+750) or possibly a 1-1 draw (+600).
