5. Emirates Stadium: Home Field Advantage

It’s one of the oldest known facts in sports, the team with home field/court advantage, usually, goes on to win the game. Arsenal is no stranger to success at home in 2016, losing just one match since the start of the Premier League.

One average, Arsene Wenger’s men score between two and three goals per home match, opening the possibility of another blow-out win Wednesday night. Arsenal has won their last three matches in Champions League. Then again, so has PSG.

While PSG is playing well overall, especially only losing one match in their last nine overall matches, Arsenal continues building a consistent product across the board, especially with their massive amount of talent in the midfield.

Visitors to The Emirates have scored just eight times this season, while Arsenal has dealt out 22 goals on their home turf. Four of those goals came opening day against Liverpool is a 4-3 shootout, so, the consistent dominance at home is still very impressive despite one poor showing for Arsenal.
