ARSENAL VS BARCELONA GOALSCORER ODDS AND BETTING TIPS FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

What a massive fixture this is going to be! There are so many interesting betting options for this widely-anticipated Champions League clash that we’re going to have separate them by market- the Arsenal vs Barcelona fixture is literally that big. The goalscorer betting for this match up is looking extremely rewarding and with both teams having this much skill on the ball- you know there’s going to be goals.

Lionel Messi is the biggest favourite in the match to score and deservedly so. You’ll find him at a solid price of 4/5 to score anytime and 10/3 to score first or last. He is 4/1 to score two or more and a slim 16/1 to notch a hatful of goals. That’s a short price on a hat-trick.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the second favourite goalscorer with a 5/4 anytime price and a 5/1 listing to score first or last. He is 15/2 to nail two goals or more and 33/1 to get to three or more. He’s been in solid form as of late and offers up a smidge more value than Messi.
Nicklas Bendtner is Arsenal’s preferred goalscorer at a 6/4 price anytime and 11/2 to score first or last. He’s 9/1 to nail two or more goals and 40/1 to get a hat-trick. I think that Bendtner is a tricky player to bet on, as he tends to be a bit hot and cold in big matches. He also tends to miss sitters with alarming frequency. I think that he’s a solid bet if Arsenal are bossing the midfield and can supply him with easier opportunities than ones he has to create himself.
Cesc Fabregas is trading at 7/4 anytime and 6/1 first or last, but question marks remain over his head as to whether the Spaniard is actually going to line up for this fixture. If he plays, he’s worth a bash for sure. He’s 10/1 to score 2 or more, but I would be tempted to back him to score first.
Andrei Arshavin is undoubtedly the key man for Arsenal and he tends to come out all guns blazing under the right circumstances. Hopefully these are the right types of circumstances for Arsenal fans and you never quite know what you’re going to get from the Russian. He is 15/8 to score anytime and 13/2 to open or close the scoring. He is 11/1 to score two or more and 40/1 to get three.
Other notables include Eduardo at 2/1 anytime while Thierry Henry and Bojan can both be backed at 15/8. Theo Walcott is 10/3 to score anytime while Tomas Rosicky trades at the same price. Andres Iniesta is at 4/1 anytime while Xavi can be backed at 11/2.
Keep in mind that William Hill is going to be offering up live betting on the goalscorer markets, so if you aren’t 100% which way things are going to go- you’ve got extra options there. Additionally, you may want to hold off on placing your wagers until you see the team sheets- you never know what’s going to happen in the Champions League.
