That ranks second behind Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This bet has cashed in 12 of Los Blancos&#8217; last 15 matches. During that time, their games have finished with an average of 3.33 goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Real Madrid also conceded in 14 of those contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side, Arsenal has Saka back, which is a huge plus for their offence. The side has scored three goals in total in the two games since his return. This bet cashed in both contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Champions League SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Saka over 1.5 <\/strong><\/strong>shots (-286):<\/strong> Speaking of Saka, the Englishman was very reliable against this line before getting injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last time he played a full 90 minutes was Dec. 14. Before that, the winger had cleared this line in 19 of 25 matches across all competitions this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This past weekend, he played a full half against Everton and cleared this line with two shots in his limited minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manager Mikel Arteta said Saka is in a &#8220;much better place&#8221; after back-to-back stints of increased playing time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hope is that Arsenal&#8217;s best player worked his way back into the starting lineup on Tuesday. At the very least, Saka will have a half or more of soccer to clear this modest total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Vinicius over 0.5 SOT<\/strong><\/strong> (-137):<\/strong> This line doesn&#8217;t make much sense to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vinicius has appeared in two matches so far in April, totalling 12 shot attempts (seven on target).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Overall, he&#8217;s cleared this total in 14 of his last 20 matches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, Real Madrid ranks third in shots on target, and Vinicius joins Kylian Mbappe to make up arguably the most threatening forward partnership in the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mbappe carries a -315 price tag to record a shot on target. I&#8217;d rather go with the Brazilian at a much more reasonable price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Arsenal vs. Real Madrid predictions made at 10:26 a.m. on 04\/07\/25.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Champions League kicks off quarterfinal action on Tuesday with the first leg between Arsenal and Real Madrid.
