Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain Betting Tips
Bukayo Saka to score anytime @ 3.25
Saka’s return from injury has been an enormous boost for Arsenal and without him, they may not have defeated Real Madrid over the course of two legs. The England international was sublime at the Emirates and then scored the Gunners’ crucial first goal at the Bernabeu, making up for a missed penalty in the first half. Saka’s overall numbers in the Champions League this season are superb, with five goals and two assists from just seven appearances. The bulk of Arsenal’s attacks come down the right-hand side and although Saka will come up against a formidable opponent in marauding left-back Nuno Mendes, we are still backing him to strike once again on the big stage.
Arsenal to score over 1.5 goals @ 2.05
Since losing 1-0 to Inter Milan at San Siro during the League Phase, Arsenal have scored goals for fun in the Champions League. In the eight matches after that trip to Italy, Mikel Arteta’s side netted 27 times, scoring over 1.5 goals in all eight of those fixtures. And PSG have not kept a clean sheet in their last five games across all competitions, surrendering their unbeaten Ligue 1 record with a 3-1 home loss to Nice last Friday.
Barcelona vs Inter Milan Betting Tips
Raphinha to score anytime @ 2.65
When it comes to the Champions League this season, Barcelona star Raphinha has been close to unstoppable. The Brazilian winger is the second-top scorer in the competition with 12 goals and he has also tallied seven assists. Raphinha is a real leader at Barca these days and what enhances his goalscoring potential against Inter is the fact he will almost certainly be on penalty duty in Robert Lewandowski’s absence. Raphinha recently scored a dramatic stoppage-time spot kick to beat Celta Vigo and he – like his team-mates – will be full of confidence on Wednesday evening after the 3-2 victory over fierce rivals Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final.
Barcelona to score in both halves @ 2.30
Inter’s form has nosedived in recent weeks and Barcelona should feel confident of taking advantage on home soil. Simone Inzaghi’s side were beaten 1-0 by Roma on the weekend, a result which saw them surrender top spot in Serie A to Napoli. They were beaten 1-0 by Bologna the previous matchday and in between that, the Nerazzurri lost 3-0 to AC Milan in a Coppa Italia semi-final second leg. Three matches, three defeats and zero goals scored, cause for concern and reasons why we are tipping Barca to score in both halves, just as they did against Real in Seville.
