Champions League Group A: Hosts Real Madrid can punish PSG

Receiving deserved recognition after almost being shipped-off in summer, the in-form stopper is 7/4 to keep a ninth clean sheet. Navas himself recently lauded his side’s newly-installed work ethic, stating:
“We’re putting our heart and soul into reaching the final and winning it. The team are doing a great job.

“We’re all doing our bit in terms of defensive work. We know that if we all defend together, starting with the attackers, it makes it very difficult for our opponents to create danger,” added the Costa Rican keeper.

“So we’re following the instructions of the coaching staff and trying to improve in every game.”

Ronaldo at the ready

Aside from their most famous threat, academy graduate Jese Rodriguez (7/4 to score anytime) has been among the goals of late, while France forward Karim Benzema is 9/2 to have the final say.

PSG under pressure

A 15/4 price for the Paris giants to win away seems unlikely to come off, following repeated failures on Spanish soil against Barcelona in recent times.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic remains the most capable of carving open Real, with seven strikes in his last five Ligue 1 outings. The Swedish striker is 15/8 in the anytime market. Meanwhile, former Madrid man Angel Di Maria has come under criticism since arriving in Paris, but poached the winner last time out and is tasty at 7/2 to strike against his old club anytime.
