Champions League Semi Finals Betting Preview

Inter host Barcelona at the San Siro on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, in the first of two Champions League semi-final second-leg ties. The contest will get underway at 20:00 and it will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime.

It’s over to Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal, who meet at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, and the action gets underway on Discovery+ & TNT Sports 1 at 20:00. 

Inter and Barcelona are locked together at 3-3 when they clash in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night. Barca will hope they have the firepower to overcome Inter in Milan, but they will need to break down a rock-solid defence. 

Arsenal head for Paris hoping to turnaround a 1-0 deficit against PSG. The Gunners failed to fire at the Emirates, and Mikel Arteta’s men now face the daunting task of attacking the Parisians without being caught on the break. 

Tip 1: Inter draw no bet v Barcelona @ 10/11 with bet365

Lamine Yamal played a starring role in the 3-3 first-leg draw between Barcelona and Inter, but the 17-year-old’s inspired performance wasn’t enough to give Barca an advantage on their trip to Milan. 

Barca have a wealth of attacking talent, and Hansi Flick’s men won’t need a second invitation to go on the front foot, but the issue is at the other end. 

Barcelona conceded three goals to Inter in the home leg and the Spaniards have conceded 12 times in their last eight matches. 

Of course, the tie was pretty much over when Flick’s men went to Dortmund in the second leg of the quarter-final tie, but Barca still conceded three goals in that contest and that has to be a worry. 

Barcelona have individual brilliance, but Inter are a structured and disciplined side and that may win the day. 

The Nerazzurri have allowed only eight goals in their 14 European games this term and they may be able to keep Barca at bay. The injury to forward Lautaro Martinez is a blow to Simone Inzaghi’s men, but the likely absence of the 27-year-old shouldn’t stop Inter’s progress. 

Tip 2: Arsenal to win & over 3.5 goals v PSG @ 13/2 with bet365

Arsenal failed to fire in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final at the Emirates, but the return fixture in Paris may not follow suit. 

The Gunners will have to go on the front foot to overturn a 1-0 deficit, which may bring them more success. 

It’s worth remembering that Arsenal crushed PSG 2-0 in the league phase of the competition and all the talk of huge improvement from the Parisians looks overblown. 

PSG were clinging on when the pressure increased in their quarter-final contest with Aston Villa and it would be no surprise if Luis Enrique’s men wobbled again on Wednesday night. 

Of course, the French side will still carry a major attacking threat on the break, but Arsenal can win a high-scoring contest.
