Champions League Final Betting Tips Part 1

The Champions League Final is creeping up on us every day and the May 25 kick-off may be one of the latest ones ever on the calendar but it’s looking likely to be a fascinating affair as the prospect of an all-German final has come true. One of the world’s biggest clubs, Bayern Munich, take on their rivals Borussia Dortmund - another side with a storied history that includes more than a few important fixtures against their powerhouse countrymen.

Bayern go into this one with a very significant odds advantage with the bookmakers pricing them in as the 8/11 favourites to win the match in 90 minutes. Punters will find Borussia Dortmund trading at a lengthy 7/2 price tag. 

The draw can be backed at an 11/4 price and that’s not a bad wager as this match might take a little while to really get going. Neither side will want to give the other too much room in behind the defense so don’t expect anybody to deploy any odd Barcelona-style high lines up the pitch. 

There is really every chance that this match will go to extra time or penalties and the 11/4 on the draw looks solid for that exact reason. If Dortmund score first then Bayern will be forced to chase the match early and this will draw them out of their comfort zone. A 1-1 scoreline at the end of 90 minutes would not be particularly shocking. 

The prospect of two German sides in a penalty shoot-out will be enough to have some people think about bringing their sleeping bags as we could very well be there all night. Such is the stereotype about German sides and their penalty proficiency.
