Paris Saint-Germain vs Inter: Champions League Final Tips

The biggest game in club football, the Champions League final, has arrived. After impressive campaigns in Europe and domestically, both PSG and Inter are looking to win the big one in Munich.

Ben's Bets for PSG vs Inter

At the time of writing this, the lineups were not available, so I have tried to make some assumptions about the lineup, whilst only tipping players I think will start. It is worth stating here that I would not advise placing any bets until the lineups are out for both teams.

I've stayed quite short with my tips, rather than tipping big prices, because a lot of people will consider placing a bet builder here. Nevertheless, you can still, obviously, place singles on these tips.

Alternatively, feel free just to use these ideas and reasoning as inspiration for your own bets. Perhaps with a few tweaks to my picks. Whichever you choose to do, good luck and enjoy the Champions League final.

Let's dive into the tips!

Gianluigi Donnarumma to Make 3+ Saves

I love the goalkeeper saves market, and feel there is often some great value here. So, I'm once again looking to take advantage here, especially with the price being rather high, at least in my eyes.

PSG are the clear favourites from the bookmakers, but I do not think it will be a game of one-way traffic, which is why I really like the look of Donnarumma to make three or more saves. Inter certainly will not roll over, and I don't think the Parisians are defensively solid enough to prevent loads of shots on goal.

In the last four UCL games with PSG, the Italian shotstopper has made three or more saves three times, with him only being forced to make a singular save against Aston Villa at the Parc des Princes.

At 4/5, it's not a massive price, but I'd be half tempted to make a ladder-esque bet from three saves onwards. For bet builders, I may even consider going a little lower, just to boost odds.

Both Teams to Get 2+ Cards

Betting on cards in a final is certainly a risk, however, both teams have regularly shown their ability to draw in fouls, as well as get cards themselves.

In PSG's games against Arsenal, both teams received 2+ cards in both legs. Whilst it did not land in either of the Nerazzurri's games against Barcelona, they received six cards, so I have no doubts about their own chances here of getting cards.

PSG's frontline could torment here, and it would not surprise me if we saw a lot of cards being given out. István Kovács, the referee for this game, has averaged more than four cards per game this season, though this number also continues through his career, which bodes well here.

Lautaro Martinez to Score or Assist

Despite tipping Donnarumma to have a good game, I'm also going to get on board with Lautaro Martinez to be a difference maker in Germany on Saturday night. Especially with this selection priced at 8/5.

Four of the last eight goals conceded by PSG have come in the middle of the pitch, with a pass from outside the box being then finished. This is the area in which Martinez excels, and the score or assist here goes massively in our favour.

Martinez, this season, has gotten 25 goals and assists, and whilst the latter is being carried by his 22 goals scored, I still like the insurance provided. This certainly has not been the striker's best season in Italy. However, that would all be forgotten if their talisman could provide here and I think he will.

Both Teams to Score and Goal in Both Halves

This has flowed rather nicely, I must say. So, after speaking about how Inter will score, I'm going to shut down the hope a little, and say that PSG will also, probably, score at least once in this game.

The Parisien outfit's front line (which is expected to start) have 21 goals and assists between them in the Champions League alone this season, whilst also having 46 as a trio in Ligue 1. Of course, goals have come from elsewhere in the team, but that is an astonishing record.

In both of their semi-finals, this landed in three of four games, with PSG's 1-0 win against Arsenal being the only game in which it did not land. However, both teams have shown their vulnerabilities in big games, so I think we could certainly have an action-packed game here.

Denzel Dumfries to be Carded

Finally, I really, really like the look of Denzel Dumfries to be carded, and I'm quite shocked that the odds are so high here.

PSG's front line are all, traditionally, wingers. So, it is not uncommon for them to rotate in the game to target different areas of the defence, and I think Dumfries will be a real victim of this.

This season, the Dutchman has made almost two fouls per game in the Champions League, whilst averaging 2.45 in Serie A. Certainly a positive start. To further this, though, he is against Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who has drawn 2.25 fouls per game in the latter stages of the UCL, given that he joined in January.

In their earlier meeting this season, Dumfries made four fouls against Napoli, with three of those coming against Kvaratskhelia, and the fourth coming against Matteo Politano, who had switched wings.

I think this is probably the best pick of the game at the price and probability.
