Tip 1
Saka’s influence has certainly been missed in Arsenal’s pursuit of the PL title this season, with the winger missing 22 games with a hamstring injury.
Despite this absence, the 23 year old has still managed 25 goal contributions in 31 appearances across all comps, which includes a goal at the Emirates against Paris Saint-Germain during the inaugural league phase.
Since returning, he’s won one of the free-kicks converted by Declan Rice in the quarter-final first leg before scoring at the Bernabeu to confirm Arsenal’s passage to the last four and chalking off his seventh goal or assist in this season’s competition.

Tip 2
This bet goes beyond the recency bias of Rice’s two stunning free-kick goals in the 3-0 home win over Real Madrid in the first leg.
The England midfielder will be full of swagger after those strikes to help his team progress, but also has an overlooked quality in front of goal, with other more obvious attacking options taking credit for Arsenal’s efforts in this department.
He’s averaging 1.49 shots per game this season and has registered 24 efforts from outside of the box across the league, EFL Cup and UCL.
