Juventus v Real Madrid Betting Tips
The Spanish side look to lift their third European Cup in four years when they take on Juventus in Cardiff on Saturday, and go into the game as clear favourites at 8/5 with Ladbrokes.
Both teams have had magnificent seasons and both deserve their place in the final after dominant displays throughout. But where do we see the value in the most important tie of the domestic season?
Champions League Final Odds
Juventus have gone unbeaten in the Champions League this term, and conceded just one in the knockout stages of the tournament.
Strong at the back, they’ve allowed the likes of Gonzalo Higuain to do the business at the other end. The Argentine has netted five times in the competition this season and 32 in all competitions.
Naturally, he poses the Old Lady’s biggest threat and is at 4/1 to score first with most bookies, while you can get 21/10 on Buffon keeping a clean sheet.
The club have had plenty of success against Spanish opposition this term, beating Sevilla away from home in the Group Stage and demolishing Barcelona in the Quarter Final. Perhaps their finest moment came in the first leg of that fixture, when Paulo Dybala’s first half brace sealed the tie before Giorgio Chiellini chipped in with a third.
Another Spanish scalp can be backed at 19/10 in what would be a monumental night for the Turin club and their first Champions League title in over 20 years.
It took five years for Real Madrid to finally lift the La Liga title once more, but the Champions League has become somewhat of a regularity for Zinedine Zidane’s men. While it could be the Frenchman’s second title in as many years, it could also be the club’s third in four years.
They go into the tie on June 3rd as clear favourites for the Champions League and it’s no surprise with what they have in front of goal. Despite Juve’s strong defensive unit, the firepower of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema leads the bookies to believe there’s plenty of goals coming from the Spanish outfit.
15 goals have come from Ronaldo and Benzema alone in the competition and naturally the world’s best player is favourite to score first at 7/2 with Coral. The Frenchman has a little better value at 11/2 with the latter also at 10/1 to bag a brace.
The club conceded plenty in the Group Stage of the competition and 17 overall in just 12 games, while they’ve also notched up 32 goals of their own making a Madrid win and both teams to score at 19/4 look good value.
A Ronaldo goal and 2-1 scorecast in Madrid’s favour is a result we’re swaying towards at 25-1 as the club look to break even more records and claim a 12th Champions League title.
