We are down to the final four teams in the Champions League, and the semi-finals get started on Tuesday with the first leg of Arsenal vs. PSG at the Emirates. Arsenal’s star Bukayo Saka came back from injury just in time for their quarter-final win over Real Madrid, and he will be hoping to lead the Gunners to the same fate in the semi-final.
Below is my favorite Saka prop bet for Tuesday’s first leg.
Bukayo Saka Anytime Goalscorer (+245)
I am going to keep this one simple and go with Arsenal’s main man to get on the scoresheet. Saka has had a season plagued by injury, but he has still been more than effective when healthy.
He has featured in seven Champions League games this season, scoring five goals. It should have been six, but he unfortunately had a penalty saved in the quarter-final win over Real Madrid. These teams collided earlier in the season during the league stage of the competition. Arsenal got the 2-0 win, and Saka scored one of the goals.
Hopefully, Saka and the team can recreate that magic on Tuesday. At +245 odds, Saka to score is my favorite bet of the game. He is their best player, and if a penalty situation arises, Saka will most likely step up to take it. Arsenal needs their superstar to show up in the biggest game of his young club career.
Another bet I don’t mind is Arsenal moneyline, currently at +115 odds. The Gunners have played six games in the Champions League at home this season, winning five and tying one. To make matters even more impressive, all five of those wins also resulted in clean sheets.
No matter which bet you are on, Arsenal’s #7 putting the ball in the back of the net will most certainly help.
