Champions League Final
Man City vs Inter
Saturday 10th June, 8pm
Ataturk Olympic Stadium, Istanbul
Champions League Final Preview
An incredible second half of the season has seen Pep Gaurdiola’s side put themselves in prime position to complete the illustrious treble. City accumulated 50 points from their last 20 Premier League games, 11 more than next-best Liverpool, while also scoring more (48) and conceding fewer (15) than any other team in the division.
When you couple this remarkable form with an FA Cup victory over their biggest rivals and a Champions League run consisting of RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, it’s hard to argue that any English team has had a better season.
While Inter have not been quite so dominant, their form has peaked at the perfect time. The Nerazzurri have won 11 of their last 12 and comfortably overcame their neighbours AC Milan in the semi-final.
Although City appear huge favourites on the face of it, Inter have enough quality throughout to cause Pep’s side some serious issues. Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku have scored 17 goals between them in the impressive run mentioned previously, and both will fancy their chances of wreaking havoc in the transition.
Man City vs Inter Betting Odds
As expected, City are big favourites at 1.44, with Inter 6.40 underdogs and a draw priced at 4.50. Either side to keep a clean sheet (1.83) has been slightly favoured over both teams to score (1.91), with either 1.5 (1.24) and over 2.5 goals (1.73) both heavily backed.
Shock: Erling Haaland is favourite to open the scoring (3.14), tailed by Julian Alvarez (5.40), Phil Foden (7.50), Riyad Mahrez (8.00) and Kevin De Bruyne (8.50). Leading the odds to break the deadlock for Inter is Lautaro Martinez (8.90), followed by Romelu Lukaku (10.00) and Edin Dzeko (11.00).
Champions League Final Betting Tips
Man City win and under 2.5 goals – 3.23
Champions League finals are never typically goal fests. The last four have seen under 2.5 goals, with three of those ending 1-0. The stakes are high and it tends to come down to who buckles first under the pressure. Unfortunately for Inter fans, City don’t appear to feel pressure.
Bet Builder: Man City win, under 2.5 goals, Haaland to score at any time, Marcelo Brozovic to be carded – 12.00
We’ve added Haaland to score and Brozovic to be carded onto the above selections for an odds boost. Goals have slowed down somewhat for the Norwegian, but it would be fitting for him to end the season with a goal on the biggest stage. As for the cards market, no player from these two teams has received more yellow cards this season than Brozovic, who will face the unenviable task of trying to stop City’s drifting midfielders.
