    Arsenal are looking to continue their quest for a first ever European title when they host PSG in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night (2000 BST).

    Arsenal stunned the continent with their excellent quarter-final dismantling of Real Madrid and now they face PSG as their pursuit of European glory continues. 

    PSG have been the conquerors of English sides this season, they saw off Man City in the league phase, provided Liverpool with penalty heartbreak and dented Aston Villa dreams. 

    Now the Parisians will be targeting yet another English scalp as they hope to get that elusive crown that has evaded their grasp since they catapulted to the top of the French game. 

    We've had a look at the best bets for what should be an enthralling Champions League fixture. To see all the latest markets, live odds, offers and to place a bet visit Betway

    Arsenal to win

    PSG have had a marvellous season, but they've had their wings clipped recently in domestic action. 

    The unbeaten league record went up in flames against Nice on Friday and it will be interesting to see how the French champions respond to that. 

    Arsenal last played on Wednesday, so have had the benefit of some extra time to prepare for this huge game, as well they have beaten the French side already this season, with a 2-0 win in the league phase.

    Having seen how Arsenal rose to the occasion against Real Madrid, we've got a sneaky feeling that the Gunners could pick up a narrow win in this first leg. 

     

    Declan Rice to score or assist

    Declan Rice had a blinder in the quarter-final and the midfielder is a good bet to have a goal involvement here. 

    Rice is often on corner duty for Mikel Arteta's side and they often score from them, as well as we saw against Real Madrid, the England international is more than capable with free kicks too. 

    Rice to score or assist is a bet that could bring value to your bet builder. 

     

    Over 2.5 goals

    PSG's games in the Champions League games have often brought the goals, with eight of their 14 games producing at least 2.5 goals. 

    While Arsenal's four knockout games have produced 18 goals, an average of 4.5 goals a game. 

    Over 2.5 goals is a worthwhile bet. 

     

    Ousmane Dembele 3+ shots

    PSG's attack is one of the best in Europe and Ousmane Dembele has revelled in the absence of Kylian Mbappe. 

    The Frenchman is undoubtedly the main man and he is always a threat, so at least three Dembele shots is likely.
