Single-leg final at the neutral Puskás Aréna. PSG arrive as defending champions chasing back-to-back European crowns — only Real Madrid (2016–18) has managed it in the modern era. Arsenal play their first Champions League final since 2006, having sealed the Premier League title two weeks ago with the league's best defensive record (26 goals conceded). Both squads have had a clear focus on this fixture for over a fortnight: no rotation risk, no end-of-season slackening, no league assignments to manage. The recent picture between these two has tilted PSG's way — they eliminated Arsenal at this same stage twelve months ago and won the second leg 2–1 in Paris.
Expected XI (4-3-3): Safonov; Hakimi (or Zaire-Emery), Marquinhos, Pacho, L. Hernández; Vitinha, João Neves, Fabian Ruiz; Doué, Ramos, Kvaratskhelia. Dembélé in attack if fit.
Expected XI (4-3-3): Raya; Timber (or Mosquera), Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Zubimendi; Saka, Ødegaard, Trossard; Gyökeres (or Havertz).

Both teams are arriving with attacking weight and porous moments. PSG conceded eight goals across their last five (including 4 to Bayern). Arsenal scored in every one of their last five away outings. Our model puts the goal total at 2.95, pushing the Over 2.5 probability to 57% against a 49% market price — a 7.8-point gap.
PSG's modelled goal expectancy of 1.70 against an Arsenal defence missing first-choice RB Ben White (Timber only 70% fit) projects a 51% probability of two-plus PSG goals versus a 43.5% market price. PSG scored in all five of their last five matches. 7.2-point gap.
48% modelled against a 42% implied price. PSG won 2 of the last 3 meetings, carry the deeper attacking pool, and face an Arsenal side missing first-choice fullback cover. Not the runaway Best Bet it would have been against a tighter Arsenal — the away side's road scoring record holds the gap below the Best Bet threshold — but a clear value pick at 2.38.
The higher-variance goals play. Three of PSG's last five hit 3+ goals (including the 5-4 Bayern shoot-out). Both H2H meetings on record produced BTTS. 34% modelled vs 28.6% implied — 5.6-point gap with an attractive price.
Larger price means more variance. Don't double up with Over 2.5; pick one.
Same underlying view as PSG to win at slightly worse odds. 48% modelled vs 43.5% implied. Use whichever quotes the higher price; do not stack both.
79% modelled vs 75% implied. The shortest-priced positive-edge market on the slate — accumulator-friendly. Both attacks have scored in nearly every recent fixture between them.
Arsenal have scored in every away fixture across their last five; PSG have conceded in three of their last five. Both H2H meetings on the data ended BTTS Yes. 58% modelled against a 56% implied price — a thin 2.4-point edge, but the underlying form profile is the more confident read than the odds gap alone shows.
Edge is modest; only standalone if the conviction on Arsenal scoring is part of your read.
The defensive expression of the PSG-favoured thesis. Stake refunded if the match ends level after 90 minutes (extra time and penalties don't apply). 63% modelled vs 61% implied — 2.4-point gap with downside protection.
82% modelled vs 79% implied. PSG to score at any point. Short price but reliable as an accumulator anchor.
Tiny return per unit; accumulator only.
60% modelled vs 58% implied. Includes extra time and penalties — PSG carry the more reliable shootout pedigree and the deeper striker depth if it goes the distance.
"Anything but a draw." 76% modelled vs 74% implied. Both teams set up to attack; sustained stalemate is the least-likely scenario.
Best deployed as an accumulator leg given the short odds.
These markets were assessed and found fairly priced — no meaningful edge in either direction:
These markets are overpriced at current odds — we recommend skipping:
Confidence is bounded by two things: Dembélé's exact role won't be settled until lineup release, and the H2H dataset is thin (two meetings of record at neutral status). The core thesis — both teams set up to score, PSG modestly favoured to win — holds independently of either factor. Form data drawn directly from each side's last five matches and the head-to-head record between them.
