Champions League Betting Picks: UCL Semifinal Best Bets

Arsenal vs Atletico -- Gyokeres Anytime Goalscorer (+145)

This tie is level at 1-1, but Arsenal will fancy their chances after a 4-0 win in this matchup earlier in the season.

Viktor Gyokeres looks the standout scoring angle. He’s netted in four of his last seven starts and averages 0.67 xG per 90 in the Champions League.

With Bukayo Saka back fit again and supplying chances, Gyokeres should get opportunities against an Atletico Madrid side who are extremely poor travellers.

Bayern Munich vs PSG -- Dembélé Anytime Goalscorer (+125)

After a nine-goal first leg, another open game looks likely.

The markets expect goals, with over 2.5 goals at -590, over 3.5 goals at -210, both teams to score -450 and the 0-0 a whopping +6000 -- which is less likely than another nine-goal thriller according to the odds (+1600)!

Ousmane Dembélé looks a standout bet to score in Munich.

He scored twice in the first leg, has averaged 0.87 goals per 90 this season, and posts 0.75 xG per 90 in the Champions League while also handling penalties.

Bayern’s aggressive style should again leave space in behind, and Dembele is the prime candidate to take advantage.
