Stats Picks…
The midweek stats gave us three out of four winning Stats Picks in the Champions League.
That included two highly-rated young strikers both getting on the score-sheet to deliver in the Anytime Scorer markets…
Erling Braut Haaland got a brace for Borussia Dortmund in their 2-1 win over PSG. The Norwegian teenager has now landed Anytime Scorer bets in 6 out of 7 games since joining Dortmund last month.
Timo Werner got the only goal of the game at Tottenham, scoring from the penalty spot to give RB Leipzig a 1-0 victory. The 23-year-old German extends his career Champions League ‘away’ record, with that his 5th Anytime Scorer payout from a total of 7 away games in the competition.
The Champions League Last 16 ties continue with four more 1st Leg matches next week, starting from Tuesday.
This weekend we have a full fixture list in the Premier League, Football League, Scottish Premiership, La Liga, Bundesliga & Serie A…
Here are our Stats Picks:
