Two strikers contribute to my Champions League Matchday 3 prop bets.
Pregame narrative: Harry Kane is a goal-scoring machine and I’m betting on him to bag one against Barcelona on Wednesday. Before that, I’m targeting the over on Dusan Vlahovic’s shot prop.

Best bet: Kane to score (+123)
Kane’s four UCL goals lead the competition and he has eight goals in seven games for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
He went on a recent four-game goalless drought but bounced back with a hattrick against VfB Stuttgart on the weekend.
Before the cold spell, Kane scored 10 goals in the previous four games. When he’s hot, he’s hot, so now is an opportune time to buy low.
The Englishman has 10 shots on goal in two Champions League appearances and the volume should be there again.
Barcelona is great at scoring but has kept just four clean sheets in 12 games across La Liga and the Champions League.
This game is proving hard to pick a side but if Barcelona slips up and allows a goal or two, there’s no better bet than Kane to get on the scoresheet.
Key stat: Kane has 12 goals in 14 Champions League games since joining Bayern Munich.
Quick pick
Valhovic over 3.5 shots (-129): Juventus’ striker is no stranger to letting shots go.
Vlahovic cleared this line in six of his last seven appearances and has 10 shots through two Champions League games, clearing this total in both.
The Serbian international attempted 24 shots across his last four starts for Juventus leading to five goals, so it’s clear the gameplan is to feed the target man and let him do the rest.
I’m also keen on backing a player that’s trending up and there’s no hotter striker around than Vlahovic right now. He should be looking to goal with every opportunity he gets.
