The stage is set for the 2022 Champions League final. Real Madrid have overcome a host of difficult teams to reach the Stade de France showdown, and they’ll now clash with Liverpool. The two teams are no strangers to each other, having met in the final four years ago, and they’ll now meet on Saturday 28 May at 20:00 BST for the biggest club trophy in European club soccer.
This article is focused on the best Champions League final tips and betting offers. We’ll also take a look at the potential Champions League starting 11s. With Real having beaten Liverpool in the 2018 Champions League final, you have to go back to 1981 to find the last time they were beaten in a European final. However, it’s Jurgen Klopp’s side who are favourites to repeat their success of 2019. These two teams met in last season's Champions League quarter-final, with Real coming out on top.
Champions League Final Tips
The Champions League final is an intriguing matchup, and we’re leaning towards the draw at the prices. While it’s understandable that Liverpool are favourites, this is a Real Madrid team who have knocked PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City out of the competition.
The experienced players within the Real Madrid ranks know how to win the Champions League, and we think that Karim Benzema as an Anytime Scorer holds appeal. We think a 2-2 correct score bet is worth a wager at a big price of 14/1, and we’ll have a go at the following Bet Builder, which at the time of writing would be available at 7/2:
- Both Teams to Score – Yes
- Over 2 Goals
- Karim Benzema to Score
2022 Champions League Final Betting Odds
Despite Real Madrid having knocked Liverpool out of the Champions League last season and beaten them in the 2018 final, Carlo Ancelotti’s side are still betting outsiders. You can get betting odds of 11/4 that Los Merengues win in 90 minutes, compared to the best price evens on Liverpool winning in normal time. The draw is chalked up at 14/5 and could be the value bet with some of the best UK betting sites.
As far as First Goal scorer bets are concerned, anyone backing a Real Madrid player to break the deadlock might look no further than the prolific Karim Benzema. The French forward has been outstanding in this competition, although team-mates Vinicius Junior, Luka Jovic and even Gareth Bale are viable alternatives, according to the early prices.
Liverpool’s attacking prowess is well known, and Mohamed Salah will be looking to right the wrong of getting injured in the 2018 final. However, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz currently look better value alternatives, and Trent Alexander-Arnold is available at a huge 22/1 and will be on free-kicks.
Champions League Final Predicted Lineups
Both Carlo Ancelotti and Jurgen Klopp will have some difficult selection dilemmas ahead of the 2022 Champions League final. The Real Madrid manager is likely to stick with his experienced generals, although his opposite number has several attacking players from which to choose along with getting the right midfield combination.
We have attempted to come up with the Champions League starting 11s in advance as the actual teams won’t be known until the lead-up to kick-off. Our predicted teams are based on the previous rounds and what we perceive to be the strongest lineups.
