Champions League Final Betting Preview

Updated: 09 June 2023

As we head into the second week of June, the 2022/23 football season is almost over. Almost, but not quite. Before the transfer rumour mill moves firmly into overdrive, we still have the small matter of the biggest club game on the planet, as Manchester City take on Inter Milan in the Champions League Final. 8pm Saturday is the time, the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul is the place, and here we look ahead to what promises to be an enthralling encounter, and pick out our best bets to spice up the action.

Everything Points to a City Success

On the cusp of an historic treble, City are widely regarded as the best side on the continent and get the chance to prove it here. Coming closest to lifting the trophy when beaten by Chelsea in the 2021 Final, will this be the year they finally get the job done?

The odds compilers certainly think so, with Coral making Pep Guardiola’s men 4/9 shots to win in 90 minutes and just 2/11 to lift the trophy. Those odds may be attractive to big hitters, but for those looking for a more attractive price, the suggestion is to back City to win and Both Teams to Score. In Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez, Inter possess two very dangerous players on the counter, and have scored at least once in nine of their 12 games on route to the final – including three against both Benfica and a similarly possession-based side in Barcelona.

City to Win and Both Teams to Score at 2/1 with Coral

De Bruyne to Strike From Range

If this game goes as many anticipate, it seems likely that Manchester City will dominate possession as Inter sit back, attempt to crowd Erling Haaland out of the game and generally make their 18-yard box as impenetrable as possible.

Breaking down a resolute Italian defence is unlikely to prove an easy task and may result in City taking their shots at goal whenever they can. That scenario - in combination with the likelihood of City drawing fouls in and around the area – could provide the City midfielders with ample opportunity to test Andre Onana. If this proves to be the case, the one man we want on our side is Kevin De Bruyne. Deadly in open play and from free kicks, the 7/1 available on the Belgian to score from outside the area looks more than fair.

It would seem a shame to let the biggest game of the season go by without trying our luck on one of the most popular bets around. Combine the bets outlined above with Inter Milan to receive 3 or more cards in a game where they are likely to be under significant pressure, both through the middle and down the flanks.
