Champions League Final: Manchester City One Win Away from the Treble

Manchester City face a date with destiny on Saturday as they bid to end the season by claiming their first-ever Champions League title.

A victory over Inter Milan would secure a famous treble for City following their successes in the Premier League and FA Cup.

They are odds-on favourites with the top football betting sites to lift the prestigious trophy, but the Serie A side will be eager to scupper their hopes.

Read on as we take a closer look at the Champions League final and pick out three betting angles we believe are worth considering.

Man City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has been in fine form in recent weeks and looks a good bet to continue in the same vein this weekend.

He netted a brace against Manchester United in the FA Cup final last weekend, taking his tally to 11 goals and seven assists in 50 appearances this season.

Gundogan can be backed at odds of 14/5 with bwin to get on the scoresheet against Inter and it would be no surprise to see him deliver the goods.

Odds of 16/1 to score and assist may also attract plenty of intertest from punters, particularly given Gundogan’s recent performances for City.

There are several promoted ‘Build a Bet’ offers available at bwin including one which looks a tempting proposition for Man City fans.

Erling Braut Haaland to score first, over 2.5 goals in the match and City to win (all in 90 minutes) is available to back at boosted odds of 11/2.

Haaland has been scoring for fun this season, bagging 52 goals and nine assists in 52 appearances in all competitions.

If the Norwegian international delivers on the first part of the bet, the other two elements would be well-placed to follow suit.

With several recent finals requiring penalties to separate the two teams, the ‘win by shoot-out’ market offers an intriguing betting opportunity.

City and Inter are each priced at 16/1 on UK betting apps to win on penalties – which looks a little overpriced given what is at stake this weekend.

Inter will undoubtedly bid to make life difficult for City and it is not the biggest leap of faith to imagine their backline standing firm this weekend.

A £10 bet on each team to win on penalties would return a £150 profit if the final goes to a shoot-out, regardless of the eventual outcome.
