What are the Odds for the PSG Liverpool Game?

PSG are the current favorites to win the Champions League. Both teams are considered a bit of a surprise to be here, but both are deserving finalists.

We are going to get into betting trends in a moment, but you guys might have some questions before we do.

The biggest of those might be about who has home field advantage. The answer is that neither team does, as this game will be played at a neutral venue.

UCL Outrights Winner: Inter +115 vs PSG -159

Coach vs. Coach: History, Records & Tactical Edge

When you look at coach vs coach history, you see a pair of similar individuals.

Both Luis Enrique of PSG and Simone Inzaghi of Inter played at the highest level and won many major tournaments. Their experience is going to be invaluable in the upcoming final.

Inzaghi is seen as a bit of a tactical genius, quickly adapting to any opponent, while Enrique is known as a coach that likes to attack and put pressure on the opposition.

It’s a fascinating matchup, and one that may divide public betting opinion and sharp bettor action.

Look into Champions League betting trends and watch for line movements, which may come if injuries occur between now and the final.

We have a definite opinion on how things will go and will get to our Champions League picks shortly.

Does Home Field Matter in the Champions League Final?

On rare occasions, you do get a situation where a team makes it to a final in their own building.

In the Champions League, the venue is chosen before the tournament begins. We have an Italian and a French team going head-to-head in Germany, so there is no home field edge, so keep that in mind when it comes to Champions League betting.

Champions League Best Bets & Prop Value

There are a number of great bets for the Champions League that go beyond just picking a winner.

You can choose to focus on Champions League prop bets that are aimed at both player and team performance.

Top player props include shots on goal, yellow and red cards, as well as who will score. Team props include stats such as total corners, time of possession, and more.

Pro Writer John Watson’s UCL Pick for the Final

For me, the Champions League final is one of the best sports days of the year. This is the first time in a long time that I am on the fence about who will win.

While trends give an edge to win, there are also so many intangibles that can take a game one way or another.

Right now, I am leaning toward Inter to win, but I am waiting to see if either team experiences injuries before the final.

Look out for team form between now and the final, as that could change your opinion on how things might go.

If the 2024 UEFA Champions League Final was tomorrow

We have some time to breathe this week, as there is no European action to look forward to.

That said, the break in the proceedings gives us some time to reflect on the first 5 weeks of the new Champions League format, while also looking ahead at what might come.

Champions League Final Betting Analysis

We should say that things are a little more forgiving on the new setup. In the old-style Champions League, half of the teams would be automatically eliminated after 6 games in the group stage.

The new format allows 24 of 32 teams to continue, with only the top 8 securing knockout stage spots.

Currently, teams have completed 5 out of 8 league stage games, leaving potential changes in standings before the conclusion.

While this is not the best time to predict the winner of the Champions League Final, we will explore possible developments leading up to the event.

We’ll propose three potential match-ups, starting with an obvious one and followed by a couple of less likely options. Let’s get to it!

Favorites to Champions League Matchup 1: Liverpool vs Inter

We begin by examining the top two teams in the league. Liverpool, initially uncertain with a new manager after Jürgen Klopp’s retirement, have impressed under Arne Slot.

They are rapidly emerging as favorites to secure the championship title this season.

They are the only team with a perfect record through the opening 5 games, scoring 12 and surrendering just once, plus they have also built up a big lead at the top of the English Premier League. This team very much looks like the real deal.

Currently, the Italian champions are second in the Champions League standings, 2 points behind Liverpool.

They started the tournament with a 0-0 draw against Manchester City, but have since won 4 consecutive games, scoring 7 goals without conceding any. They are also fighting for the Serie A title.

Given the defensive capabilities of these teams, a final featuring them going head-to-head might well be a tight affair where goals are at a premium.

In the end, though, I would give the slight edge to Liverpool.

Champions League Futures Matchup 2: Barcelona vs Arsenal

Okay, so for this one, we are going to once again go with a pair of teams sitting in the top 8 of the Champions League standings after 5 games.

If you look at the season to this point for both teams, you see some similarities, so let’s get into it.

Barcelona recovered from a 2-1 loss to Monaco, winning four consecutive matches and climbing to 3rd in the table with 18 goals scored and 5 conceded.

However, they’ve struggled in La Liga, earning only 1 point in their last 3 games, making the break from CL beneficial.

Arsenal

English team very recently went through a very similar slump in the league, but they appear to have snapped out of it in a big way.

They bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Inter in Matchday 4 of the Champions League to take out Sporting with a dominating 5-1 win.

They then followed that up with another 5-goal salvo, this time against West Ham over the weekend, winning that game 5-2.

We are still waiting to see if their slump is truly over, but all signs appear to point to the answer being yes.

Barcelona and Arsenal’s matchup is likely to be a high-scoring affair, as both teams excel at scoring goals, making it unpredictable and difficult to predict the outcome.

Favorites to Champions League: Real Madrid vs Manchester City

As mentioned at the top of this piece, the third matchup is reserved for a potential matchup that looks more than a little unlikely at this point.

That said, both of these teams have proven over the years that they should not be counted out, so perhaps this one is not as ridiculous as it might seem.

Real Madrid

The defending champions, surprisingly, sit 24th, barely holding onto a playoff spot.

However, they’ve won 3 consecutive matches and are now just a point behind Barcelona at the top of La Liga.

Since losing Ballon D’Or winner, Rodri, to injury, Manchester City has totally collapsed./

They have lost 4 in a row in the English Premier League, dropping out of the top 4 in the process, but their play in the Champions League is almost as alarming.

After a 4-1 hammering at the hands of Sporting, City looked to be in control in Matchday 5, going 3-0 up against Feyenoord before losing 3 late goals and being forced to settle for a draw.

Things do not look good for either of these two teams at the moment, but both seem capable of snapping out of it and going on a positive run.

If this were the final, it would be another coin flip matchup.
