Arsenal favourites to win Champions League ahead of PSG clash

According to the statistics website Opta Analyst, Arsenal are now the favourites to win the Champions League. The Opta supercomputer gives Arsenal a 31.3% chance of winning the competition, which puts them above Barcelona (27.4%), Paris Saint-Germain (22%), and Inter Milan (19.2%). 

Arsenal will play the first leg of their semi-final against PSG tomorrow evening at the Emirates before travelling to the Parc des Princes on the 7th of May. The Premier League side were held to a draw on Wednesday evening when they faced Crystal Palace (2-2). 

PSG had a troubling week ahead of their vital clash with Arsenal. Les Parisiens drew 1-1 with FC Nantes on the Tuesday before suffering their first league defeat of the season to OGC Nice (3-1) on Friday night. 

Arsenal and PSG have met earlier in the season when they were drawn together in the league phase of the Champions League. Arsenal won that meeting 2-0 with goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka.
