Champions League Final: Correct Score Tip
The Catalan giants are deservedly favourites but anyone who thinks they will thump the Serie A champions is underestimating the Italians.
Betfair are are one of several firms offering a best price of 8/1 on a 2-1 victory for Barcelona but we can also arrange to get a refund as a free bet if the game is a draw after 90 minutes. This could easily happen.
That said, it’s hard to look past Luis Enrique’s dazzling side who frankly look all-conquering. We backed Barcelona way back in September at a now hard to believe 6/1 so there’s no losing the faith now!
The addition of Luis Suarez to an already dazzling frontline has afforded more space to both Messi and Neymar and consequently very few opponents can cope.
The La Liga champions have scored at least two goals in all their knockout matches bar one, putting a combined 10 goals past Bayern and PSG over four fixtures. Only a Joe Hart masterclass and a lack of incentive kept the score down to 1-0 against Man City at Camp Nou.
However, Juventus are not a side to concede three very often at all and for that reason I think we can draw the line at two for this prediction. The Old Lady has only conceded three times in her last eight Champions League outings after all.
But can the Italians score themselves? The very fact they did in both legs against Real Madrid, and put three past Dortmund in Germany suggests they can. Put it all together and 2-1 to the favourites looks about right.
