I&#8217;m picking Kylian Mbappe to contribute to the cause by scoring.

He&#8217;s recorded 18 shots on target over the past six games in which he played the full 90 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;ll surely be the case on Wednesday as Real Madrid needs to win big to stay in the competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mpabbe will spearhead an attack that is desperate for goals. I expect the defending champions to go down swinging, led by their star forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The side will need three goals at home, and that&#8217;s where the French attacker has been at his best for Los Blancos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Mbappe has 18 goals in 23 games played at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium across all competitions this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>Martinez over 2.5 shots (-118<strong>)<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>:<\/strong> Martinez leads a potent Inter Milan offence that has scored at least a goal in 12 straight matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Italian side holds a 2-1 lead on aggregate, but I don&#8217;t expect it to hold back and invite pressure against a squad as talented as Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bayern has recorded the most xG in the Champions League (32.6) this season, per FotMob. In other words, the German giants could score at any time and level the score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why it&#8217;ll be important for Inter to continue to play with the mindset of winning this match rather than not conceding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter, Martinez. Dating back to the start of 2025, he is 15-3 against this line across all competitions, averaging 3.7 shots per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The offence flows through its Argentinian striker. I expect him to continue to let it rip in the second leg of the quarterfinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Martinez cleared this line on the road in the first leg with three shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><em>Champions League picks made at 1:35 p.m. on 04\/14\/2025.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The second leg of the Champions League quarterfinal continues this week, and I have picks for both of Wednesday&#8217;s games.
