Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain: 23/20 and 17/2 betting tips

Written by: Adam Drury

Arsenal host PSG in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night as the battle to reach the final in Munich in May commences.

Adam Drury (@Adam_Drury1) has had some success in the player shot markets in recent weeks and has picked out 23/20 and 17/2 bets for this match.

Arsenal vs PSG Bet Builder picks - April 29, 2025

Declan Rice shots

Rice wrote himself into Champions League folklore with two stunning free-kicks in the home leg against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals and we like his price in the shots markets here.

The midfielder ended that game with five efforts on goal and could well have scored from what were easier chances than the two he did dispatch.

He followed that up with another effort in the Bernabeu in the second leg, despite the Gunners being much happier to play on the back foot in that match.

In Europe, Rice has had shots in his last four matches, while in the Premier League he has fired off at least one strike in nine of his last 10.

Benefitting from the more attacking midfield role Mikel Arteta has given him, and the fact that Arsenal are playing without a recognised centre-forward, Rice is often in the box and becomes one of the main targets for crosses from wide.

We expect him to hit the one shot we need for the 23/20 bet and he only needs one more for the 17/2 shot.

Achraf Hakimi shots

After he took five shots across the two quarter-final legs against Aston Villa, we are doubling Rice up with Hakimi.

The PSG full-back had two efforts in the home game and three at Villa Park, where he also scored.

One of the most attacking full-backs in world football, the Moroccan also had two and three shots across the two legs against Liverpool in the last 16.

He had three shots last time out against Nice in Ligue 1 and has had at least one in eight of his last 10 domestic league starts.

His side play the same attacking football regardless of opposition, so it would be a surprise if he doesn’t fire off one or two more at the Emirates.
