This is the phase where every UEFA Team wants to be, because they are close to the Final Game. But before that, check out the Champions League odds on the Semifinals, consider that they could be influenced by different factors, such as the injuries.
For example, Arsenal has Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel listed as injured players, also Barcelona’s best striker Robert Lewandowski won’t be in the game against Inter.
The same goes for Inter, without Marcus Thuram or Valentín Carboni, key players in the coach’s strategy.
Champions League Odds: Semifinals Leg 1 Schedule and Preview
We have sports betting previews of the first leg, as well as some thoughts on the eventual winner.
Arsenal (+115) vs Paris Saint-Germain (+232) (Draw +230)
When: Tuesday, April 29, 3:00 pm ET
Champions Pick: Gunners to win
Arsenal have a 17-match home unbeaten streak in UEFA competitions. They haven’t made a Champions League semifinal in 16 years – but they’ve already beaten PSG at home in this contest, as they stopped them 2-0 in the league phase. Also, PSG have never beaten Arsenal in five competitive matches (three draws, two losses). However, they’ve already sent two other English Premier League teams home in the last two rounds, dispatching Liverpool (who have since gone on to clinch the 2024-25 EPL championship) in the round of 16 and then upstarts Aston Villa in the quarterfinals. They also had a four-match away winning streak in Champions League play before falling at Villa Park in the second leg. They also have made it to four UCL semifinals in the last six seasons.
A lot has changed since Arsenal beat PSG in the league phase, of course. Paris seemed on the verge of missing the knockout round playoff altogether at that point. Since then, they’ve turned them things around dramatically, developing a chemistry and cohesiveness to go along with their talent. However, Arsenal have also amped up their confidence with each round. How about that 5-1 aggregate stomping of Real Madrid in the quarterfinal? I believe the Gunners can not only prevail at home – I think they can get through to the final at this point.

Barcelona (-159) vs Inter Milan (+380) (Draw +310)
When: Wednesday, April 30, 3:00 pm ET
Champions Pick: Barcelona to in.
Yes, Barcelona are one of the twin titans of Spanish first-division soccer. However, they had made it to six straight UCL quarterfinal rounds coming into this campaign but only advanced further one time. So this matchup with Borussia Dortmund seemed like a real test. However, they rolled over the Bundesliga side, 4-0, in the first leg. Now they move on to face an Inter team that they have beaten six times in 12 UCL meetings (four draws, two losses). They have Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha in the front line, and all of them scored in that home match with Dortmund. They have combined for 27 of the side’s 37 goals in this season of Champions League.
Inter have a stout defense
Their eight clean sheets in this Champions League are two more than what any other team has managed. They did allow three goals in their quarterfinal tie with Bayern Munich, but they still got the win. Likewise, they’ve only lost twice in their last 20 UCL matches (13 wins, five draws). Furthermore, they also have a dangerous scorer of their own in Lautaro Martinez, who tallied in both legs against Bayern and has now found the back of the net in five straight Champions League contests. However, while I don’t think Barcelona will pull off a rout, they definitely have what it takes to get this home win.
