Supercomputer predicts Champions League final.

TPO - The Opta supercomputer predicts that reigning champions PSG will continue to lift the UEFA Champions League trophy this season.

Opta's supercomputer favors the defending champions, but only by a narrow margin. PSG is predicted to have a 56% chance of successfully defending their title, while Arsenal has a 44% chance of completing a historic double. In 10,000 match simulations, PSG's probability of winning within 90 minutes was 43.5%, compared to Arsenal's 29.7%.

Opta's prediction.

PSG and Arsenal will face each other for the eighth time in all competitions, and the head-to-head record is currently balanced, with each team winning two matches and three draws. However, the Parisian club has won the last two encounters, defeating Arsenal at home and away in the 2024-2025 semi-final (winning 1-0 away, winning 2-1 at home).

This will be the fourth meeting between the two clubs in the Champions League since the start of last season, with Arsenal having won the match in the League Phase in October 2024. Only Man City and Real Madrid have faced each other more often during that period (five times).

PSG and Arsenal have a long and storied rivalry.

PSG are particularly familiar with facing English teams. In fact, since the last 16 last season, 54% of their Champions League matches have been against Premier League clubs (13 out of 14 matches, including Saturday's final). And of course, PSG have won five consecutive knockout matches against English clubs, beating Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal last season, followed by Chelsea and Liverpool this season.

Man City is the most recent English team to eliminate a Parisian club, having done so in the semi-finals of the 2020-21 season. Conversely, Arsenal have been eliminated in both of their Champions League knockout stages against French teams, against PSG last year and Monaco in the round of 16 of the 2014-15 season.

Only three English clubs have ever won both the Premier League and the European Cup or Champions League in the same season. These are Liverpool (1976-77 and 1983-84), Manchester United (1998-99 and 2007-08), and Manchester City (2022-23).
