This Champions League season comes to a belated conclusion later Sunday, with Bayern Munich taking on PSG in Lisbon.
Both teams have superstars up front, but look vulnerable defensively – which points to a final with goals.
Bayern have scored 42 goals in 10 Champions League games, including the eight that they put past Barcelona in their contemptuous dismissal of the Catalan giants. PSG haven’t been as prolific, but contain a stunning forward line, including Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Angel di Maria.
The main difference between the two sides is experience in this environment. Bayern are looking for their sixth Champions League triumph, while PSG are competing in their first final.
The last six teams competing in their first final have all lost. With this in mind, we’re going to take the 2/1 on offer that Bayern win with both teams scoring.
Additionally, Serge Gnabry has been in sensational form for Bayern, scoring nine times in nine appearances, including a sensational solo effort from outside of the penalty area in the semifinal against Barcelona.
He is likely full of confidence and may well be prepared to shoot on sight. He’s 14/1 with SkyBet to score from outside the penalty area tonight, and we think that offers value.
Recommendations:
Bayern to win both teams scoring, 1 pt, at 2/1, bet365
Gnabry to score from outside the penalty area, 1 pt, at 14/1, SkyBet
