Get ready for goals
It is truly a disservice to all the fans to get a matchup of this magnitude in the semifinals. This should be the final, as I expect the team that advances from this tie will run over either Arsenal or Atletico Madrid. But that doesn’t matter. What does matter is how we can cash some tickets on this match.
I think the easiest way for us to make money is just betting on everything goal-related. We have the best attack on the planet in Bayern Munich taking on a PSG side that has an almost equally complete attacking front and an even better midfield. The pitch is going to be overflowing with attacking talent on both ends.
Let’s do some basic math here. Harry Kane + Michael Olise + Luis Diaz + Ousmane Dembele + Khvicha Kvaratskhelia + Desire Doue = Bet on the Over. I’m taking Over 3.5 goals in this match, as these defenses will struggle stopping these stars.

Olise and Kvaratskhelia are ones to watch
The pitch is loaded with world-class talent, and I’m expecting both teams to potentially find multiple goals in this fixture, but let’s narrow it down to who I think will have the biggest impact on both teams and bet on them.
For PSG, a lot of people understandably are going to be on Dembele, but for me, the value is the Georgian Kvaratskhelia. As a Bayern Munich fan, I hope he doesn’t have an impact in this match. As someone who likes money, I can’t ignore the fact that in his last 10 UCL games, he has 10 goal contributions and has scored or assisted in his last five UCL matches. Bet on Kvicha.
Bayern Munich have a similar situation where everyone wants to bet on Harry Kane, but there’s better value on Michael Olise. Olise has seven goal contributions in his last six UCL fixtures and has shown an unreal level of class in how he handles the ball. I’m expecting both these guys to have massive impacts in both legs of this fixture.
