PSG vs. Arsenal Prediction, Picks for Champions League Final – Saturday, May 30

A second consecutive Champions League title would cement Luis Enrique’s PSG as one of the great teams of the modern era. The Parisians would become the ninth club to win back-to-back European titles and just the second to do so this century.  

The road to the final wasn't always smooth for the Ligue 1 champions, despite how dominant they've looked in the knockout rounds. PSG finished 11th in the league phase, requiring an extra playoff tie to reach the Round of 16.

From there, the reigning champions hit another gear, winning six of eight knockout matches, scoring just under 3.0 goals per game. 

They'll now face an Arsenal squad that has reigned supreme in the Champions League all season. Mikel Arteta's side is unbeaten in the UCL at 11-3-0, conceding just 6 goals across the entire campaign. The Gunners now have a chance for revenge against the side that knocked them out at the semifinal stage last season. 

Even in defeat, Arsenal gave PSG plenty of problems in last season's semifinal. PSG, however, has made a habit of outperforming xG under Enrique, making the most of every opportunity. PSG is outperforming xG by 0.66 goals per match in Europe this season and by an astonishing 9.49 goals across the eight knockout-round matches combined.

In the knockout rounds alone, PSG has scored 23 goals against an expected tally of just 13.51. Whether PSG can replicate that against the toughest defense in the competition remains to be seen.

The EPL Champions allowed just 0.43 goals per game across 14 UCL matches, including only two in six knockout appearances. They now face the competition's top scorer with 44 goals in a classic "unstoppable force meets immovable object" scenario.

As was the case last season, PSG's relentless attack may ultimately be too much for even Arsenal's defense to contain. The UCL final will be played on a neutral pitch at the Ferenc Puskás Stadium in Budapest, Hungary.
