Best Goal Scorer Bets for Champions League Matchday 3
by Sam Cox | by Sam Cox
International breaks and a crowded domestic schedule make it feel like a long time since we last got Champions League action. The world’s premier club competition ends its three-week hiatus this Tuesday with matchday three kicking off.
Bayer Leverkusen hosting PSG and Juventus travelling to the Spanish capital to face Real Madrid are the pick of the fixtures.
We’ve delved deep into the soccer betting markets to identify the best goal scorer bets for this week’s round of matches.
Erling Haaland To Score Two Or More Goals (+425)
After a hat-trick in Norway’s win over Israel during the break, Erling Haaland scored the only two goals of the game as Manchester City beat Everton on Saturday.
Haaland has scored at least two goals on seven occasions this season. He’s netted three times in two Champions League matches, including a brace away to Monaco on matchday two.
Following a down year by his outrageous standards, Haaland has been back at his unstoppable best in 2025-26. This is an excellent price, even though Pep Guardiola’s team are going on the road to face Villarreal.
Harry Kane To Score Two Or More Goals (+190)
Harry Kane has four goals in two Champions League matches. Only two players have taken more shots than Kane per match, and the England captain has scored at least once in each of his last nine matches for club and country.
Six of Kane’s last eight appearances for Bayern Munich and England have featured a brace or better. He’s the form player in world football right now and has a glittering Champions League record since joining Bayern.
Club Brugge have put in some impressive Champions League performances over the last couple of years, but they will be thoroughly overmatched in Bavaria.
Nick Woltemade To Score Anytime (+130)
Newcastle striker Nick Woltemade has scored in five of his last six matches for club and country. He’s taken seven shots across his last two Premier League appearances and found the net in his only Champions League start.
Benfica have lost their first two matches in the competition. Their form away from home is mediocre. They have only won five of their first eight league matches after drawing with Porto before the international break.
Newcastle’s defeat to Brighton at the weekend was a minor setback, but Woltemade was notably a threat once again and found the net for a third consecutive league match.
Lautaro Martínez To Score Anytime (+160)
Inter have won six matches in a row across all competitions. Lautaro Martínez has been in decent form, including a brace against Slavia Prague on matchday two of the Champions League.
The Argentine scored twice in a drubbing of Puerto Rico during the international break.
Inter are facing Union Saint-Gilloise in Brussels. The Belgian side were thumped 4-0 by Newcastle in their last Champions League match and have only kept two clean sheets in their last six matches. There will be chances for Martínez in this game.
Marc Guiu To Be First Goalscorer (+500)
Ajax have only won one of their last six matches across all competitions and are yet to find the net in the Champions League. They have conceded multiple goals in five of those six fixtures, so they will surely look to absorb pressure and keep things tight at Stamford Bridge.
Marc Guiu is reportedly in line for a midweek start. He came off the bench at half-time on Saturday and took three shots. Enzo Maresca has been impressed with Guiu’s contributions in limited minutes, and he looks to have a role to play with the Blues currently relying on João Pedro as their lone number nine.
A focal point for Chelsea’s attack, Guiu is going to have chances if he gets the start. He’s already shown he’s got an eye for call – this could be when he stakes a real claim as a regular starter.
