Champions League Semi-Final First Legs: Our Predictions

We predict Bayern to win 2-1 in Paris. The stats heavily favour Bayern in this rivalry — five wins in a row against PSG. Kane and Olise will punish any space the Parisians leave. PSG will score but Bayern edge a classic.

We predict 1-1 at the Metropolitano. Arsenal are the better team on paper but Simeone is a genius in ties like this. Atletico have never lost a UCL semi-final — Arsenal will score but the Metropolitano atmosphere will make this a grind. A draw sets up a fascinating second leg at the Emirates.
