Our betting prediction and the best odds
Ahead of the Champions League Final Manchester City vs Inter Milan, the odds indicate a distinct favourite role for the nominal home side. But their EPL season ended with a 1-1 at Brighton and a 0-1 at Brentford. Thus, we wouldn’t use the 2-1 win over Manchester United in the FA Cup final as the only indicator. However, for the third time in six competitive matches of the Citizens, more than 2.5 goals resulted. The same event occurred in six of Inter Milan’s seven championship matches from the end of April to the end of May. The third-placed team in Italy’s Serie A failed to score at least twice only in a 1-3 defeat at the champions SSC Napoli.
