When, how to look at and evaluate for prediction

A place in the Champions League final can be won this evening because Paris Saint-Germain welcomes Arsenal for the Princes Parc.

The kick -off is at 8 p.m. Moroccan period (GMT+ 1) and the fans can catch the action live on Bein Sports 1 Mena, Bein Sports 1 English, Canal+ Foot and M+ Liga de Campones.

Ousmane Dembele was the difference maker in the Emirates and achieved an early finish to numb the home crowd and tend to tie the tie in favor of PSG. The winger later limped with a thigh, but has been declared fit since then.

PSG coach Luis Enrique was more careful in the press conference before the game. “We are obliged to suffer because our opponents have no favorable result,” he said. “We have to correspond to our performance as precisely as possible in the first leg to win the second leg and to remain true to our ideas.”

PSG is expected to call an unchanged XI. Desire Doue is overturned to keep his place over Bradley Barcola in the front three, while Kvaratskhelia and Dembele will try to bring chaos from wide areas. Joao Neves, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz anchor a decent midfield, with Marquinhos and Pacho forming the backbone for defense. Gianluigi Donnarumma, in London, continues between the articles.

In the meantime, arsenal are of high order. Mikel Areta's men have to win in Paris to only reach their second Champions League final, 19 years after their last. Thomas Partey is back alongside rice and Odegaard and restored by Areteta's preferred midfield setup. Jurrien Timber trained this week and could result from it, but several regular guests of the first team are still over, including Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu.

“If you want to be in the Champions League final, you have to do something special,” admitted Areta. “We have to do something special in Paris to be there.”

Predicted lists:

PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Joao Neves; Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Doue

Arsenal: Raya; Wood, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Parttey, rice, odegaard; Saka, Merino, Martinelli

Predicted score:

PSG has the lead, the home advantage and Dembele in full flight. The side of Luis Enrique looked sharper, composer and tactically superior in the first leg. Exciting you to control large spells with measured possessions and meet at a wide pace.

Arsenal now has the tools to disturb PSG, but there are questions that relate to their defensive depth and their ability to cope with the great occasion from home. Rice and Party could anchor the midfield well, but unless Saka and Martinelli are at their best, it is difficult to see that they tip the deficit.

PSG just looks more balanced. And with Munich you will probably end the job.

Judgment: PSG 2-0 Arsenal
