Expert Picks
SportsLine soccer expert Martin Green, known for his profitability in previous soccer competitions, has provided his top picks for the Champions League final:
- PSG 90-minute money line +110 (1 unit)
- Both teams to score -150 (0.5 units)
Analysis Behind the Picks
Green acknowledges the talent within the Inter Milan squad, highlighting players like Lautaro Martínez, Marcus Thuram, Nicoló Barella, and Alessandro Bastoni. However, he believes Paris Saint-Germain possesses a more balanced team and carries strong momentum from their recent successes.
Green stated, “PSG have already won the Ligue 1 title and the French Cup this season, so these players are accustomed to winning. Manager Luis Enrique won the Champions League during his time at Barcelona, so he knows how to get the job done, and PSG should ultimately be too strong for Inter.”
Regarding the `Both Teams to Score` prediction, Green notes that while the teams haven`t met since 2023 on the international stage, BTTS occurred in their last three encounters. Additionally, PSG has consistently found the net recently, not being held scoreless in any competition since early March. Inter Milan has also shown strong attacking form, scoring in their last six matches.
