SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of Brest’s clash with Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Brest vs Real Madrid (Wednesday, 20:00)
Reigning European champions Real Madrid wrap up their league phase campaign when they take on Brest at the Stade Francis Le-Ble on Wednesday night.
While both teams have already assured themselves of a play-off spot, a top-eight finish is looking unlikely for the pair given the current lay of the land in the Champions League table.
Unsurprisingly, Real Madrid come into this matchday eight encounter as heavy odds-on 4/11 favourites on Boylesports.
However, an alternative angle of attack that catches the eye is to back Kylian Mbappe to get on the scoresheet at an attractive 5/6 with the same firm.
The French megastar has really started to find his feet at Real Madrid in recent weeks, netting once or more in each of his last five appearances across all competitions
In fact, Mbappe scored the first hat-trick of his Real Madrid career against Real Valladolid in La Liga last time out.
That trio of strikes has taken the 26-year-old’s tally for the season to 21 across his 31 appearances in all competitions for the Spanish heavyweights this term.
It’s also worth pointing out that Mbappe has made the net bulge in each of Real Madrid’s last two Champions League matches.
There is plenty of scope for that trend to continue when the Los Blancos star comes up against a Brest side that have failed to keep the back door shut in five of their seven league phase assignments this season so far.
On top of that, the Pirates have posted just four clean sheets across their 19 outings in Ligue 1 this term, making in-form Mbappe a value candidate for an anytime effort on Wednesday night at 5/6 on Boylesports.
