The Champions League final takes place on Saturday, with Real Madrid rightly the huge favorites against the underdogs Borussia Dortmund. This is Real Madrid’s final to lose. They have been exceptional all season and there is no reason to think they will come up short this weekend.
The champions of Spain’s La Liga are -170 moneyline favorites to win their sixth Champions League trophy in ten years. German club Borussia Dortmund is returning to the Champions League final for the first time in 11 years and are +450 to win the match. The possibility of a draw is +300, and the over/under for the match is set at 5.5.
Wembley Stadium in London, England will be the host for this clash of Europe’s finest, starting at 3 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Here are three bets to consider:
Odds by ESPN BET.
Three-way handicap: Real Madrid -1 (+150)
Real Madrid has enough of an edge to get a little bit of value here. Dortmund will be vulnerable defensively and Real Madrid’s offense has all the weapons to take advantage of that.
Half Time/Full Time: Real Madrid/Real Madrid +140
Real Madrid is used to these huge occasions much more than Dortmund and I think they will be offensively focused right from the off. I’m confident they can strike early and keep that lead to the end of the game.
Anytime Goalscorer: Toni Kroos (+550)
Kroos announced last week that this his last game for Real Madrid. How fitting it would be if he could mark the occasion by scoring in the final.
