PSG vs Inter: Champions League Final Betting Tips
With the Europa League and Conference League champions crowned, there is just one European competition left to be decided, with Paris Saint-Germain and Inter facing off in the Champions League final on Saturday.
Taking place at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, this promises to be an enthralling contest between two teams that have turned on the attacking style in the knockout stages of the competition.
PSG booked their place in the showpiece event with a 3-1 aggregate victory over Arsenal, while Inter edged out Barcelona 7-6 across the two legs in one of the greatest European ties of all time.
This will be the first competitive meeting between these two European heavyweights.
Team news
Presnel Kimpembe remains the only confirmed absentee for PSG, who are expected to go with the same starting XI that won the Coupe de France.
Inter have doubts over the fitness of Piotr Zielinski, Yann Bisseck and Benjamin Pavard, although the latter is expected to shake off the issue that forced him to miss the win at Como.
Tip 1 – PSG to win in 90 minutes @ 23/20
As has become customary in the French top-flight for over a decade now, PSG won this season's Ligue 1 title for the fourth season in a row and the 11th time in the last 13 campaigns.
But it is a first Champions League triumph that Les Parisiens so dearly crave and they head into Saturday's final full of confidence, having defeated Reims 3-0 last time out to win the Coupe de France and extend their winning streak to four matches.
Having battled to make it out of the League Phase in Europe, Luis Enrique's side have turned on the style since, beating Brest 10-0 on aggregate in the knockout play-off round before then accounting for Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal.
There is supreme confidence about PSG right now, but they will know the dangers that Inter pose and anything less than a top-notch performance will likely see them miss out on European glory.
The Nerazzurri have dispatched Feyenoord, Bayern Munich and Barca to reach the final for the second time in the last three years and a first Champions League crown since 2010 is within touching distance.
However, Inter come into this clash downbeat after they missed out on Serie A glory by just one point and there is just the sense that PSG, in full flow right now, can get the job done without the need for either extra-time or penalties.
Tip 2 – Hakan Calhanoglu to have over 0.5 shots on target @ 33/20
Although Inter may ultimately fall short in their quest for European glory, that doesn't mean they won't cause problems and they have already shown their attacking prowess by sticking seven goals past Barca in the semi-finals.
One player who has played a crucial role for the Nerazzurri this season is Turkey international Hakan Calhanoglu, who has scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in all competitions.
The 31-year-old has registered a shot on target in three of his last four appearances and, given Inter should create chances against a PSG side who prefer attack over defence, backing the Inter ace to test the goalkeeper at least once looks like a good shout.
