Champions League Final Preview: Bayern Munich Betting Tips

After humiliating Barcelona in the semi-finals, Bayern Munich return to the Estadio da Luz as favourites for a potentially epic final against French giants, Paris Saint Germain.

It’s been a bizarre year for football, but one thing that hasn’t disappointed has been the entertainment factor of the Champions League “mini tournament” since the restart.

The big question is, though, can ruthless Bayern continue their imperious form against the glitz and glamour of Paris Saint Germain?

Below, we take a look at the best Bayern Munich bets for the final.

To say Bayern Munich come into this one “in-form” is a grave understatement.

The German champions have won 21 games in a row, with their last defeat coming in December and since then they’ve drawn just once. They are an unrelenting force right now.

So, while we should expect a competitive game against PSG, the form book says Bayern Munich should be able to navigate their way to the title inside 90 minutes.

What’s more, they’ve won every single one of their Champions League matches this season and have scored at least three goals in all but one game (when they scored twice).

TOP TIP: Bayern to win (2.05)

If a team that scored eight against Barça facing a side that comprises Kylian Mbappe and Neymar doesn’t scream goals, I don’t what does.

During their 21-game winning streak, Bayern have scored 68 goals (an average of over 3.2 per game). But in the Champions League it gets even more crazy…

Bayern’s 10 Champions League games this season (all of which they won) have seen a total of 50 goals – for an average of five goals per game. As well as battering Barça, they also beat Spurs away 7-2, Red Star Belgrade 6-0, plus a crushing 7-1 aggregate win over Chelsea.

TOP TIP: Over 4.5 total goals (3.30)

And if you fancy plenty of goals for Bayern, it’s worth noting that the Bavarians have scored in both halves of 80% of their Champions League games this season.

Robert Lewandowski has been in fine scoring form this season with a remarkable 55 goals in 46 games, so you’ve got to fancy the ruthless Bayern to have the edge over PSG in this regard.

TOP TIP: Bayern to score in both halves (2.40)
