Arsenal Prediction
Arsenal’s dominant 7-1 win in the first leg practically sealed their ticket to the next round of the Champions League and turned the second leg into little more than a 90-minute formality.
The absences of key players like Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz and Takehiro Tomiyasu didn’t hinder Arsenal in the first leg. If they managed to cope without those important names before, it’s hard to imagine those absences posing much of a problem in the return match.
On the domestic front, Arsenal recently drew 1-1 away at Manchester United, with David Raya standing out as the star performer. The Spanish goalkeeper played a crucial role in keeping the deficit to just one goal before Declan Rice netted the equalizer.
So far this year, Arsenal has played 16 matches across the Premier League, Champions League, Carabao Cup and the FA Cup. In that stretch, they’ve recorded eight wins, four draws and four losses, scoring 30 goals and conceding 15.
PSV Prediction
On the other side of the pitch, PSV faces a near-impossible task in this second leg against Arsenal. Winning by six goals in London just to force extra time seems like an unconquerable challenge.
The 7-1 home defeat was such a heavy blow that PSV announced they will compensate fans attending the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16. This gesture is directly aimed at those loyal supporters who, despite the crushing first-leg result, are still traveling to London to back their team.
Peter Bosz’s squad will have nearly their entire roster available as they attempt a miraculous comeback in England. Only Ricardo Pepi, Malik Tillman and Esmir Bajraktarevic are ruled out due to injuries.
Arsenal vs. PSV Pick
Matches where the series is practically decided are always difficult to predict. Arsenal is a clear favorite in the market and their moneyline is too low to be worthwhile. Meanwhile, the -1.5 spread feels too risky, as another blowout seems unlikely.
On the other hand, while a comeback for PSV seems almost impossible, they’ll undoubtedly try to restore some pride and make the 7-1 defeat in the first leg a distant memory.
That’s why the best betting option here is to go with Both Teams to Score.
