Martin Green’s Picks
Arsenal +0.75 at (+100)
Betting the Asian handicap means that you’re splitting half your bet here on Arsenal +0.5 and the other half on Arsenal +1. So if Arsenal wins or draws, you win outright, while you’ll lose half your bet if Arsenal were to lose by one goal. Ultimately, Arsenal is in a great position to park the bus and focus on surviving and advancing in their first Champions League season since 2017.
Real Madrid to score under 1.5 goals (+150)
The Gunners have the best defensive record in the Premier League and the second-best defensive record in the Champions League this season. They have only conceded 0.77 goals per game on average, so it will be difficult for Real Madrid’s forwards to turn this clash around.
Under 11.5 corners (-142)
This is likely dependent upon possession, as Arsenal won’t feel the need to take too many chances while Real Madrid will need to be on the front foot. Green predicts Arsenal will be well prepared to preserve their three-goal lead.
