The Champions League final on Saturday has Inter Milan favored at sports betting companies against Bayern Munich. Inter Milan is about a -160 favorite in sportsbetting against Bayern. What really makes it tough for Bayern is that they will be without Franck Ribery as he is suspended.
Sports betting companies also have a three-way line posted on this match as it could end tied in regulation. The game would go to extra time and a shootout if necessary but the three-way line would pay off on the draw if that occurred. The match is not expected to be high scoring as the total is listed at two goals.
Bayern has been up and down in the Champions League but they came through when it mattered and in the semifinals they upset Manchester United. Bayern has already completed a league and cup double this season. Bayern won the Bundesliga and they won the DFB-Pokal as they routed Werder Bremen 4-0.
Inter Milan is also a double winner this season. The winner of Saturday’s Champions League final will win their third trophy this season. Inter Milan’s Wesley believes it will be his team. “A win like this [Scudetto] will influence our preparations. We are happy to be going to the Champions League with two trophies,” Sneijder said,
The question on Saturday in sportsbetting will be which team is more focused. Inter Milan is dealing with the distractions regarding the future of coach Jose Mourinho while Bayern is dealing with Ribery’s suspension and his other off the field issues. Inter chief executive Ernesto Paolillo is hoping that Mourinho does not leave. “It would be a great shame, I hope it doesn’t happen.” Paolillo said, “Now, however, let’s think about his brilliance. After the Champions League final we will talk about what will happen.”
Bayern will look to Arjen Robben to lead them to victory on Saturday while Inter will hope that Sneijder is able to score. Robben and Sneijder are actually good friends. “Wesley and I are very good friends,” Robben said, “We are in regular contact, even this week. I’m happy for him that with him in Milan but hope he will not win the treble that we want.” The difference for Inter Milan in Saturday’s Champions League final could be that they have striker Diego Milito who has been playing very well of late.
