In-form favorites Manchester City

For a long time, it looked as if Arsenal FC would win the Premier League title. Thanks to an extremely strong run in the spring, the Citizens overcame their rivals’ lead and also delivered true spectacles in the Champions League. For example, RB Leipzig were outclassed 7-0 at home and top clubs like FC Bayern München (3-0) and Real Madrid (4-0) also suffered clear defeats.

Manchester City made short work of Real Madrid in the semi-final second leg, winning clearly 4-0.

These results are no coincidence. In the league, too, top teams like Liverpool FC and Arsenal FC, for example, were clearly beaten 4-1. Manchester City are unbeaten in 23 competitive matches, with 19 wins and four draws in that period.

Inter gets lucky with the draw

On the other hand, it is a surprise that Inter reached the final. This was made possible by two major reasons. Firstly, Simone Inzaghi’s team came into an excellent form in the final phase of the season, winning eight games in a row between the 23rd of April and the 16th of May. This was by no means to be expected, as between the 10th of March and the 19th of April the team had previously managed only one win in nine games. Secondly, the Serie A club benefited from a lucky draw.

While Manchester City had no major problems with FC Bayern Munich in the knockout phase, Inter lost twice to the German club in the group stage and did not score a single goal in those 180 minutes.

In the round of 16 and quarter-finals, however, Inter had relatively easy opponents in the form of the two Portuguese clubs FC Porto and Benfica and took advantage of this. In the semi-finals, they met in a derby against AC Milan, a team that has been much weaker than Inter in recent weeks.

Manchester City – Inter Over Under Prediction

Inter have a very good defense, but will need a brilliant performance to keep the Manchester City players at bay. The Premier League club is also extremely confident with the ball in the final third, will have a huge amount of possession and it is highly likely that City will find some gaps in the Italian defense. If one scores four goals in 90 minutes against Real Madrid, one should also create numerous opportunities against Inter. It is also very risky to place an under bet when a world-class striker like the Norwegian Erling Haaland appears on the pitch.

Manchester City – Inter Prediction

Manchester City are the clear favorites in the Champions League final.  In all likelihood, the Citizens will not let themselves be robbed of the opportunity to win the Champions League. It is true that anything is possible within one game, but the dominance and confidence of Guardiola´s team will ensure that the luck factor will be extremely minimized.

Inter could also face problems on the wings. Inzaghi relies on a 3-5-2 system and the two wing-backs will have a lot of work to do, as they will have to cover an entire side on their own at times. Moreover, in the past few games, Gündogan and Bernardo Silva have also been on the scoresheet often, in addition to the forward Haaland. At Manchester City, every attacking action can lead to a goal, which is why we do not recommend picking the underdog here. If you want, you can put a handicap bet on Manchester City if the normal @1.40 win odds are too low. 

Manchester City – Inter Correct Score Bet

As mentioned above, we expect the Premier League side to win this match by a clear margin. We are betting on a 3-0 victory for Pep Guardiola’s squad. Inter will only be able to chase the ball for long stretches of the game and, unlike the English, will not find too many opportunities.
