Best Bets for 2022/23 Champions League Final

The 2022/23 Champions League final will be contested by Manchester City and Inter Milan this year, as the two clubs qualified after beating Real Madrid and AC Milan respectively.

City are the strong favourites to lift the trophy in Istanbul and prevail for the first time in their history. Here is a look at the best bets for the biggest game in European club football.

Manchester City -1 in Handicap Betting (11/10)

In the final third of the Premier League campaign, Manchester City reached top gear exactly when they needed. They trailed Arsenal by eight points at one stage of the season, but a brilliant finish helped them surge past rivals Arsenal to record their third straight title success.

City have carried their excellent league form into the Champions League. They put four goals past German champions Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the premier European competition, while in their last-four clash with Real Madrid, they hammered the Spanish side 4-0 to progress 5-1 on aggregate.

Guardiola’s side are scoring heavily, and they should be too hot for Inter. They can be backed at 11/10 in the handicap betting where they need to prevail by more than one goal. If they get an early goal, that will ruin the Italian’s game plan, and it would be no surprise to see City put three or four goals past their opponents.

If you’d prefer to back City in the three-way market, they are available in the betting at 2/5. The Champions League final could also be included as one of the eight matches in Bwin’s soccer jackpot. It would be hard to select against the Premier League winners if you are playing the game.

Manchester City Clean Sheet (Evens)

In May, Manchester City kept clean sheets against West Ham, Everton, Real Madrid and Chelsea. Goalkeeper Ederson has been supported by a strong defensive line, with Kyle Walker, John Stones and Ruben Dias all producing exceptional performances.

Guardiola will have studied Inter Milan well going into this final and he will have a plan to neutralise their best players, many of whom are well known to him as they have featured in the Premier League.

City are evens to keep out the Serie A side in the Champions League final. They have already recorded seven clean sheets in this season’s competition, and they can extend that number to eight in Turkey.

Manchester City to win 3-0 (33/4)

If you are looking for a correct score selection for this year’s Champions League final, Manchester City to win 3-0 is available at 33/4. That’s been a common scoreline for Guardiola’s side in 2023, as they have beaten Wolves, Bristol City, Bayern Munich, Sheffield United, West Ham and Everton by that score this year.

Should Inter be trailing in the second half, they will need to throw everything at City in the closing stages, and that may lead to them conceding again in the final 10 minutes of the game, bringing the 3-0 scoreline into play.

Best of luck with your Champions League finals bets and enjoy the action in what is the final contest in the 2022/23 campaign in Europe.
