Arsenal vs PSV Betting Tips - BTTS/Over 2.5 goals

Goals look likely at the Emirates with a competitive and high-energy matchup anticipated between two teams that remain unbeaten this season.

Arriving in London unbeaten in nine matches played this season (W8, D1), PSV maintained their winning form with a comfortable 4:0 win against NEC this past weekend.

Having booked their place in the group phase with a 7:3 aggregative victory against Rangers in the final qualifying phase, PSV will be confident of making an impact in a tough group that also contains Sevilla and Lens. 

The Dutch are very much a reliable choice for goal chasers, particularly in this competition. Since 2018, PSV have seen BTTS in nine of their last 10 away UCL games. More recently, each of their last six matches have seen at least four goals scored. 

Arsenal make their return to the Champions League for the first time since 2017 on the back of a hard-fought win against Everton at the weekend, extending the Gunners unbeaten run to six matches this season,

At the Emirates, Mikel Arteta´s side have seen BTTS in each of their last three home games, while each of their last nine games on home soil saw at least three goals scored.

Given those numbers, I fancy BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored in this likely entertaining CL encounter. While Arsenal´s quality should prove enough to secure the points, I´m confident this will prove an entertaining and high-scoring occasion in London.
