Ousmane Dembele: Had 1+ shot on target in each of his group-stage appearances

Our football props column heads to Paris on Wednesday with a 14/5 Bet Builder based on some solid-looking stats...


Paris Saint-Germain v Real Sociedad
Wednesday 14 February, 20:00
Live on TNT Sports 2

PSG can be expected to dominate the ball against Real Sociedad on Wednesday night in their Champions League last 16, first leg match.

The Spaniards won't be easy to break down but they arrive in Paris shorn of some key personnel and out of form - they've failed to score in their last four.

Leg 1: Ousmane Dembele 1+ shot on target

And PSG have the forward line to find holes in a defence which conceded just twice in six group-stage matches.

Kylian Mbappe is, unsurprisingly, head and shoulders above his team-mates when it comes to the shots-on-target stats.

But next in that list in Ousmane Dembele and he provides the market value.
Dembele has landed this in his two games since returning to full fitness, while a look back to the group stage shows he delivered for his backers in all five matches he played when PSG came through a tough pool which included Dortmund, Inter Milan and Newcastle.

At even money, the Frenchman gets the nod.

Leg 2: Robin Le Normand 1+ foul

To boost up the price, I'm also going to take a delve into the fouls-committed market where a couple of Real players have consistently delivered 1+ foul.

First up for the highest-fouling team of the group stage is centre-back Robin Le Normand, a fouls regular in La Liga.

He had 1+ foul in eight of his last 11 games, while in the group stage of this competition he had multiple fouls in four of his five appearances.

With Mbappe running at him here, Le Normand looks likely to revert to type.

Leg 3: Hamari Traore 1+ foul

Also worth backing is his team-mate Hamari Traore.

The right-back is set to go up against PSG's most-fouled player in Randal Kolo Muani and has already committed a foul in 16 of his 22 starts since his summer arrival at Real.

Put the three legs together and you get a Bet Builder which pays 14/53.80.

Back Dembele 1+ shot on target and Le Normand & Traore 1+ foul each @ 14/53.80
