75/1 UCL BOOST (FB)

Mo Salah has been pretty reliable when it comes to hitting the target this season. In the UCL, he’s had at least one shot on target in 3 out of 4 games, with a total of 5 shots on target. In the Premier League, he’s managed to get at least one shot on target in 11 out of 12 games. Real Madrid have conceded 25 shots on target in 4 UCL games, they’ve faced Dortmund, Lille, Stuttgart, and AC Milan—none of which are arguably as tough as Liverpool. So, if those teams have managed to get shots on target, Liverpool and Salah should be able to do the same. This selection has already landed for Salah in the UCL, with a shot on target in each half against Bologna. He also hit the target in both halves during his last Premier League match.

Salah has been winning fouls consistently in the Premier League, drawing 2 or more in each of his last 3 games, including 4 against Brighton. He’s averaging 1.67 fouls per game in the league this season. This selection also landed for him in his last league match, where he drew 2 fouls. Real Madrid, who are ranked 7th out of 36 teams in the UCL for fouls, commit an average of 12 fouls per game and have also picked up the most cards in the competition this season (14). Salah has drawn the second most fouls in the Liverpool squad, only behind Gravenberch, so he’s a solid choice for a couple fouls drawn.

Mbappe has been in excellent form when it comes to registering shots on target in the UCL, with 9 shots on target so far and hitting at least two in 3 of his 4 games. He’s also been a constant threat in the league, registering at least 1 shot on target in 11 of his 12 appearances this season. This selection landed in his last league game, as he managed to get a shot on target in each half. Liverpool have conceded 14 shots on target in their 4 UCL games this season, but they haven’t faced a team as strong as Real Madrid yet. In their last two head-to-heads against Real Madrid, Liverpool conceded 14 shots on target, and they’re likely to field a similar backline in this match. Considering all of this, it’s likely that Mbappe will be able to get a couple of shots on target.

Mbappe has been consistently drawing fouls, having won at least one in each of his last two UCL games. This selection also landed for him in his last two league matches, where he drew 3 fouls in each game. If Mbappe plays on the left, he’s likely to face Bradley, who averages 1.57 fouls per 90 minutes. The defender also picked up a card and committed a foul in his last match, indicating that the youngster can be a bit reckless in his challenges. Additionally, Gravenberch, who could also find himself up against Mbappe in the RCM role, averages 1.5 fouls per 90 minutes, making him another potential source of fouls for Mbappe to draw.
