Mikel Merino to score for Arsenal vs Real Madrid @ 3.99
Merino appears to be finally settling into life at Arsenal and he will be crucial in an attacking sense against Real Madrid. With Bukayo Saka still getting back to full fitness and Kai Havertz out for the season, the Spaniard is likely to play a key role as the Gunners’ No9, despite being a midfielder by trade. Merino scored in the 7-1 victory at PSV Eindhoven in the previous round and has netted six times in Premier League action. With Real set to field a makeshift defence at the Emirates, we fancy Arsenal’s versatile weapon to strike once again.
Paris Saint-Germain to score over 2.5 goals vs Aston Villa @ 2.20
While Villa are one of the Premier League’s form teams right now, PSG look close to unstoppable. Last weekend’s 1-0 victory over Angers secured the Ligue 1 title with 10 matches to spare and even without the departed Kylian Mbappe, Luis Enrique’s side are scoring goals for fun. Ousmane Dembele has netted 32 times across all competitions, while Bradley Barcola boasts an overall goal tally of 18. And Unai Emery’s emphasis on playing out from the back should suit PSG’s high-energy forward line and if the hosts score early in the Parc des Princes, it could be a long night for the visitors.
Harry Kane to score first for Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan @ 3.00
Bayern will be without key playmaker Jamal Musiala for both legs against Inter due to injury, so Vincent Kompany’s side will be even more reliant on Kane’s output. The England captain has scored 23 times in the Bundesliga and in this competition, his record reads 10 goals in 11 appearances. Kane netted Bayern’s first goal in both legs against Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16 – a tie which they won 5-0 on aggregate – and we are backing him to do the same against Inter at the Allianz Arena tomorrow evening.
Raphinha to score for Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund @ 2.26
Ballon d’Or contender Raphinha has not looked like himself since returning to Barcelona from Brazil duty, but the Champions League is where he has shone this season. The ex-Leeds forward leads the scoring charts with 11 strikes and he netted three of the Blaugrana’s goals in the 4-1 last-16 aggregate victory over Benfica. Raphinha also scored in the League Phase meeting with Dortmund, as well as recording a hat-trick in the 4-1 win over Bayern on Matchday 3. He seems to enjoy facing teams from the Bundesliga!
