One more game away from the Champions League final, PSG and Arsenal will battle it out at Parc des Princes, with the Gunners hoping to overturn a goal deficit. Here are the predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.
PSG had Arsenal on the strings in the opening exchanges at the Emirates and were eventually rewarded with an early goal from Ousmane Dembélé that eventually settled the clash.
David Raya and Gianluigi Donnarumma pulled off fantastic saves to keep the scoreline at that, leaving both teams with all to play for in the second leg.
PSG have no league distractions anymore, having secured the Ligue 1 title, and this afforded them the opportunity to rest players in the 2-1 loss to Strasbourg.
However, Mikel Arteta fielded a strong team as the Gunners lost 2-1 at home to Bournemouth, with their second spot in the Premier League now shaky.

Both of PSG’s home games against Arsenal in the past have finished with a 1-1 scoreline. The French side have won three of their last four UCL home games, though they have lost twice on their ground this season, to Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.
Both Arsenal and PSG are looking to secure just their second appearance in a Champions League final.
Arsenal will welcome back Thomas Partey, who missed the first leg through suspension, but Jorginho remains sidelined.
Riccardo Calafiori is also back in contention after recovering from injury, while Gabriel Magalhães and Kai Havertz (both hamstring), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), and Gabriel Jesus (ACL) all remain out.
Dembélé was the only scare for PSG after he exited the first leg due to a hamstring problem, but he is now likely to feature, having trained in the last two days. 
PSG Predicted lineup (4-3-3)
Donnarumma (GK); Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
Arsenal Predicted lineup (4-3-3)
Raya (GK); Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Rice, Partey, Odegaard; Saka, Merino, Martinelli
We expect this to be another low-scoring affair, with both teams quite cautious about not giving the other space in behind.

Cryptocurrency-linked equities were higher in pre-market trading on Monday, as major coins rallied sharply from the “Black Friday” crash.
Strategy, the world's largest Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) treasury firm, was up 1.80%, while cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase and Bullish were up more than 2.60% each.
World's biggest Bitcoin mining firm MARA Holdings rallied over 3%, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH)-centric treasury company Bitmine climbed over 6%.

The rally comes after major cryptocurrencies staged a sharp recovery Sunday, overcoming the ‘Black Friday’ that wreaked havoc and led to billions in liquidations.
Investors sensed signs of de-escalation between the U.S. and China after Trump said, “It will all be fine” via his Truth Social, days after threatening 100% tariffs on the Asian nation and sparking global jitters about a trade war.
U.S. stock futures rallied Monday morning, driven by easing concerns over trade relations with China and a rebound in oil prices.
Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $115,261.73, up 3.55% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro. ETH traded up 9.32% at $4,174.39 at last check.
The MSTR stock exhibited a high growth score — a measure of the stock’s combined historical expansion in earnings and revenue across multiple periods. How does it compare to Coinbase and the other cryptocurrency-linked stocks mentioned above? Visit Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings to find out.

The 2026 WNBA Draft is expected to produce a strong class of players. Spanish teen Awa Fam may not be as well-known in the U.S. as many college stars, but she has a strong case to be drafted in the lottery. Despite being only 19 years old, Fam already has experience playing professionally in Spain. She signed her first contract with Valencia to play in the Liga Femenina de Baloncesto in 2021 when she was only 15. 
At 6’4”, Fam offers great size in the paint, but that is far from her only asset. The 19-year-old has great post moves and exceptional footwork. She can also drive to the rim and knock down mid-range jump shots. Fam isn’t just a talented scorer and great rebounder, though. She also has impressive court vision and passing abilities for a young center. On defense, Fam has strong foundational skills that allow her to play many different types of coverage well in her current league. 
Fam would be a very intriguing fit next to Paige Bueckers in Dallas or a thrilling prospect for the Minnesota Lynx to boost the team’s frontcourt depth behind Napheesa Collier and Alanna Smith. If those teams needed any more motivation to consider Fam at the top of the draft, she gave it to them with her best performance of a young 2025-26 season. 
Awa Fam came off the bench when Valencia faced off with IDK Euskotren in a Spanish league game. Nevertheless, she ended up playing the second-most minutes on the team and scored the second-most points while leading the team in rebounds. 
In 25 minutes on the court, Fam scored 17 points on 6-7 shooting from the field and 5-6 shooting from the free-throw line, putting together an incredibly efficient performance. She also grabbed nine rebounds, dished out one assist, and got one steal. 
Fam was a big reason for Valencia’s 69-54 win. Seeing a young prospect play such a big role is always impressive. The feat becomes even more impressive if you consider that Fam is the youngest player on Valencia’s roster by two years and the only teenager. 
Fam and Valencia will face the Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce next. Fenerbahce’s top frontcourt rotation currently consists of Iliana Rupert, Emma Meesseman, and Monique Billings—all three are WNBA players and battle-tested veterans in the case of Meesseman and Billings. Meesseman is also a former Finals MVP and a six-time EuroLeague champion. Jonquel Jones and Dominique Malonga also signed with Fenerbahce, but neither has suited up for the team yet. 
Even without Malonga and Jones, Fam will have to go up against a strong frontcourt rotation in her next game. If she can put together a good game against Rupert, Meesseman, and Billings, the performance would boost her draft stock even more.

XRP Faces Rejection at $2.93, Retests $2.85 Support as Breakout Momentum Fades  TECHi

The XRP community remained relatively unfazed by the recent market crash, according to on-chain data. 
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) network witnessed slightly higher activity based on a slight spike in the transaction per second (TPS) metric, but there was nothing abnormal. 
That said, it is worth noting that the number of daily transactions did top 2 million for the first time since early August on Oct. 11, according to data provided by blockchain explorer XRPScan. 
XRP's 50% price crash 
On Oct. 10, the price of the token experienced a massive crash, briefly collapsing by more than 50% to just $1.25. The Ripple-linked token reached its lowest level since November 2024 before seeing a sharp recovery. 
The token is currently trading at $2.37 on the Binance exchange after several extremely turbulent days. 
Trading volume plunges 
Even though on-chain activity was relatively calm, XRP experienced huge spikes in trading volumes across major exchanges. 
CoinGlass data shows that the intensity of trading activity has now subsided.
For instance, the trading volume recorded by XRPUSDT on Binance, the world's leading exchange, is down by 65%. The same trading pair also logged 73% and 74% drops on Bybit and OKX, respectively.
XRP's open interest keeps plunging 
The token's open interest has also plunged since the crash (from the peak of $9.15 billion recorded on Oct. 7 to just $4.2 billion on Oct. 12).
Chicago-based futures trading giant CME Group is currently in the lead in terms of XRP OI with $1.08 billion.

Pi Network’s native token, PI, has been in a sideways trend since the beginning of the month, reflecting muted buying and selling pressures in the market.
However, technical indicators are beginning to flash early bullish signals, hinting that PI could be preparing for an upward breakout. Yet, despite these bullish cues, the 106 million PI tokens set to be released over the course of this month threaten to derail the potential rally.
An assessment of the PI/USD one-day chart shows the token’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) climbing steadily despite its sideways price movements. This creates a bullish divergence that suggests rising inflows into the token.
For token TA and market updates: Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here.
The CMF tracks the volume-weighted flow of money into and out of an asset over a set period, measuring whether buying or selling pressure dominates. When the CMF rises while the price remains flat or moves sideways—as seen with PI—this forms a bullish divergence, indicating that buyers are quietly accumulating the token even though the price has not yet responded. 
This trend suggests that PI demand is slowly building, and if the buy-side pressure builds even further, it could set the stage for an upward breakout above the narrow range. 
In addition, PI is trending toward its 20-day exponential moving average (EMA), confirming the gradual buildup in bullish pressures. 
The 20-day EMA measures an asset’s average price over the past 20 trading days, giving more weight to recent prices. A decisive move above the 20-day EMA signals a shift in market sentiment from neutral or bearish to bullish, reflecting increasing buying interest and momentum. 
For PI, nearing this level suggests that the token is testing the strength of current market support. A successful breach could pave the way for further upward gains, especially if accompanied by sustained buying pressure.
Despite these bullish signals, PI’s upcoming token unlock could keep the asset confined within its current range. 
According to PiScan, over 106 million PI tokens are scheduled for release for the remainder of the month, adding significant selling pressure to an already subdued market. 
If demand fails to absorb this influx, any potential upward breakout could be negated. In such a scenario, PI may continue trading sideways or even break below its range, risking a drop toward its all-time low of $0.32. 
Conversely, if buying pressure strengthens and absorbs the new supply, the token could push higher toward $0.40.
