Alex's Picks

Total Goals Pick

Over 3.5 goals(+124)

Reasoning

Real Madrid have eliminated Manchester City from the Champions League in each of the last 2 seasons, and while their future in the competition is not under threat on Wednesday, defeat for Pep Guardiola’s team could leave them in a precarious position heading towards the end of 2025. However, Los Blancos have only won 2 of their last 7 games and they may fail to live up to their slight favouritism against a Citizens side heading to the Spanish capital off the back of 3 straight victories. These 3 wins have produced a massive 17 goals in total, and more goals can be expected when 2 of the world’s best strikers lock horns on Wednesday.

Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland have scored 45 goals for their respective clubs between them this season, but it is the Frenchman who enters this game in better form. Mbappe has scored 9 goals in 5 Champions League outings so far and has only failed to score in 2 of his last 6 games for club and country, notching an impressive 9 goals in this period. He has 7 goals in seven previous meetings with Manchester City and scored a hat-trick against them at the Bernabeu earlier this year, so should contribute to a high-scoring clash.

Real Madrid vs Manchester City prediction: Over 3.5 goals (+124) available at time of publishing. Playable to +110.

Money Line Pick

Manchester United Win(-150)

Reasoning

The rot at Molineux shows no signs of stopping and Wolves are expected to fall to yet another defeat when Manchester United come to town on Monday. The rock-bottom side have picked up a woeful 2 points from 14 matches this season, and their midweek defeat at home to Nottingham Forest made it 8 successive defeats for Rob Edwards’ team. They have failed to score in 5 of these 8 defeats and harbor both the worst attacking record and the worst defensive record in the EPL.

Manchester United’s resurgence may have been all too brief after a miserable performance against West Ham, but they have taken 8 points from their last 4 road games and should have too much for the struggling hosts. With Wolves in such dire straits and displaying very little in the way of improvement, backing the Red Devils for all 3 points looks excellent value on Monday.
