The bookmakers usually have the both teams to score market indicative of how they expect the match to shape up and they appear to be favouring only a single team to score in this match but by a very slim margin. Right now you'll find the No option trading at a listing as low as 3/4 while the Yes option can be backed at an enticing 21/20.

The first goalscorer odds are always competitive in big match-ups like this one – not the least because there are so many quality players on the pitch at any one time so you can usually rack up some good prices – particularly if you can pick out a defender or defensive midfielder to actually open up the scoring.

It's probably not a huge surprise to anybody that Cristiano Ronaldo is trading as the betting favourite to open the scoring here with a price hovering around 7/2 with a listing going as high as a 9/2 price tag on the exchanges. He will be looking to back a big statement on the big stage here and the Champions League Final has been the site of many epic Ronaldo performances over the past few years – not the least of which when Manchester United won it back in 2008.

Gonzalo Higuain is trading as the next most likely option to open the scoring in the contest and he can be backed as high as a 24/5 listing right now with an exchange price going as high as about 5/1 pre-match.

Alvaro Morata is a really interesting option too and you can lock in a tasty price of about 13/2 right now on him to open the scoring in this massive contest. Paulo Dybala can be backed at a 7/1 listing as well. No goalscorer in the match would reward at a relatively enticing 15/2 but you've got a lot of time to sit there and hope nobody makes a mistake.
