Man City vs Inter Prediction
Half-time/Full-time - Draw/Manchester City
Manchester City are one win away from becoming just the second English club to complete a league, FA Cup and Champions League treble.
Pep Guardiola’s team are sports betting favourites for the Champions League final against Inter this weekend after cruising past Real Madrid in the last four.
City saw off Manchester United in the FA Cup, putting them within touching distance of yet another piece of football history.
Some have prematurely crowned Guardiola’s side as champions of Europe.
Inter have won 11 of 12 in all competitions, including knocking out Milan in the semis, but this team is not considered to be of the same pedigree of Europe’s elite.
They finished third in Serie A, 18 points behind Napoli, and have benefited from a favourable draw in the Champions League.
City, as has been the case for half a decade, are the best team in Europe.
This competition remains the holy grail for the club and Guardiola – they have had near misses, they have lost a final, and they have blown some huge opportunities.
It couldn’t be better set up for them to complete the treble and finally get their hands on football’s greatest club prize.
Still, it would be foolish for fans or bettors to write this off as a City win.
Inter have kept five clean sheets in their last six Champions League matches, plus have already enjoyed final success this season by beating Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia last month.
Their attack has enough firepower to trouble City when they get the ball, and they are sufficiently organised in defence to frustrate City more than Manchester United were able to.
Where the FA Cup final was a relatively open match after Ilkay Gundogan’s 13-second strike, this should be a tighter 90 minutes. Inter will just be looking to stay in the game early on.
Nerves haven’t been an issue for City over the last few weeks, but this is the biggest match of the lot, and we could see that impact their performance.
Inter +1.25 at 5/6 is good value, while we also like draw at half-time and City to win in 90 minutes at 13/4.

Manchester City Outright Betting 2022-23
No team dominates outright betting quite like Manchester City. Strong Champions League odds favourites at just 5/2 to lift the trophy, City are also odds on to defend their Premier League crown after they won on a dramatic final day in 2021-22.
Despite seeing Liverpool lift both domestic trophies last season, City are the favourites for both the FA Cup and EFL Cup.
On top of the team being at the summit of outright betting markets, Erling Haaland is the 29/10 favourite for the Premier League Golden Boot, which is bound to attract many bettors.
Naturally, City’s stars are also among the frontrunners to win PFA Player of the Year.
Guardiola has constructed an all-conquering squad at the Etihad Stadium – check back at 888Sport to keep up to speed with the latest Manchester City outright odds throughout the campaign.
The best value on City to win a trophy has to be with the Champions League given their remarkably short price of just 4/7 to lift the Premier League once again. As great as this City team is, that doesn’t represent value with the strength of Liverpool.
Manchester City are going to be at the centre of outright betting discussion throughout the 2022-23 season, but even this City team misses out on silverware occasionally. They have won just three major trophies over the last two seasons.
