The meeting between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich will be the first ever all German Champions League final and it is the Bundesliga Champions Bayern Munich who are favourites to lift the trophy at a best price 4/9 (Coral), Borussia Dortmund’s best odds are 21/10 (Bet365).

Bayern Munich strolled to the Bundesliga title in Germany this season with Borussia Dortmund a full 25 points behind in second place but both the league meetings ended in a 1-1 draw, however Bayern Munich did win both cup meetings, winning the German Super Cup 2-1 and knocking Dortmund out of the German Cup 1-0 thanks to a Arjen Robben wonder goal.

Saturday’s final promises to be a special occasion and both sets of fans will ensure that happens, but it is on the pitch we are most concerned and Bayern Munich are justifiable favourites to win the Champions League after an almost faultless season.

As well as strolling to the Bundesliga title Bayern have breezed to the Champions League final, beating Arsenal away, Juventus home and away and Barcelona home and away in the process. The demolition of Barcelona in both semi-final legs really made the football world stand up and take note but in truth Bayern have been a class above all season and if you had of followed our pre-season tip of Bayern Munich to win the Champions League way back in September, you would be sitting pretty at 14/1.

Dortmund have won the hearts of many a football fan this season with their attacking style and stunning creativity and they cannot be discounted from surprising Bayern in the final, however the way they almost crumbled against Malaga and Real Madrid in the knock-out stages is a slight concern.

The two league meetings between these sides finished in 1-1 draw and that looks a decent bet again in the final at 7/1 (William Hill).

If Dortmund are to win the Champions League they will need another Robert Lewandowski performance similar to the one that seen him smash four past Real Madrid, he is 11/2 to score the first goal of the final with William Hill.

Bayern Munich’s Thomas Muller will be one of their key men once again looking to feed of anything from the center forward and Ribery and Robben, he scored their goal in last seasons Champions League final as well as netting first against Arsenal and getting two vital goals in the home leg against Barcelona, take the 15/8 on Muller to score anytime in the match, and have a small wager on him scoring first at 13/2.

Although we fully expect Bayern Munich to lift the Champions League trophy at Wembley on Saturday, they have chocked in their last two finals against Inter Milan and Chelsea so don’t be surprised to see the tie go beyond 90 minutes. Back the draw after 90 minutes at 31/10.
