Arsenal are gearing up for a crucial clash against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final this Wednesday. With PSG holding a slender 1-0 lead from their victory at the Emirates Stadium, they're seen as favourites to progress to the final, where either Barcelona or Inter Milan awaits.
Despite PSG's advantage, Arsenal might find some encouragement in their opponents' recent form. The Parisians' win in the first leg marked only their second triumph in six games across all competitions. They also suffered a 2-1 defeat to Strasbourg in Ligue 1, which might have shaken their confidence slightly. However, it's worth noting that PSG fielded a largely rotated squad in that match, and manager Luis Enrique is expected to revert to the line-up that claimed victory in London.
Arsenal themselves are facing challenges, having extended their winless run to three matches following a 2-1 loss to Bournemouth in the Premier League. To keep their Champions League aspirations alive, they must secure a victory in Paris during regular time—a formidable task given PSG's strong performances in this year's competition.
Yet, Arsenal can draw some comfort from their recent head-to-head record against PSG. The French side's first-leg win was their first success in five meetings with the Gunners. Additionally, Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory at home during the league phase, suggesting they have the potential to turn the tie around and achieve a positive result. With everything on the line, Arsenal could still stage an upset and advance to the final.
