This weekend, fans of England’s Manchester City and Italy’s Internazionale will congregate in Istanbul, Turkey, for the final of the UEFA Champions League. It is shaping up to be one of the better UCL finals in some time, with the competition’s highest-scoring team facing the best defensive team.
Man City will be seeking their very first Champions League title and also their first treble, after claiming the EPL and FA Cup titles in England. Meanwhile, Inter Milan are aiming for their fourth European Cup, adding to the Coppa Italia title they won late last month.
With so much on the line for both teams, we expect a tight contest.
Champions League Final 2023 match prediction
It is hard to go past Manchester City in this final. Pep Guardiola has shown no matter where he goes and whatever team he manages, he expects to win trophies. Since arriving at City in 2016, Guardiola has won five English Premier League titles, three FA Cups and four League Cups, but he is yet to claim the Champions League with the Sky Blues. However, 2023 has been a different year for City as they finally completed their squad by signing that much-needed striker, with Erling Haaland scoring some 52 goals from 51 games across all competitions. Even though Inter Milan have been tough to score against throughout the Champions League, they won’t be able to hold out the likes of Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva for all 90 minutes.
Manchester City to win
Man City v Inter Milan UCL Final total goals
Manchester City and Inter Milan have conceded only 15 goals combined throughout their respective Champions League campaigns, which tells us that this game won’t be a high-scoring affair. Inter Milan have kept a clean sheet in five of their last six matches on their way to the final, with their 3-3 thriller against Benfica in the quarterfinals being the only match where they conceded. Meanwhile, City conceded against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in their away legs, although they have conceded only three goals in their last six fixtures. For the neutral supporter, a prediction of under 2.5 goals isn’t ideal, but the likelihood of one team scoring early and then sitting back on that lead is very high.
Under 2.5 goals
Erling Haaland Champions League Final betting
Erling Haaland has been the catalyst behind Manchester City’s historic run in the Champions League, scoring 12 goals in 10 games while averaging four shots per match. In total, Haaland has taken 40 shots at goal in 10 games, with 25 of those shots hitting the target. Therefore, if City are to win and put pressure on this stingy Inter Milan defence, they will be playing through Haaland a lot. If he can keep up his average of four shots and over two shots on target, the -125 on offer with most soccer betting sites appears to be a steal for bettors.
