Champions League Final 2023 Opta Stats & 14/1, 10/3, 6/1, 10/3, 11/5 and 9/2 Betting Tips
Manchester City face Inter Milan in this weekend’s 2023 Champions League final and we have picked out some OTPA stats ahead of the match that could help with your bets on the showpiece.
OPTA have come up with some eye-catching stats surrounding the Champions League final in Istanbul and from these we can look to pick out some bets on the match, or use them for a bet builder on the final.
The last time the Champions League final was held in this stadium Liverpool produced a memorable comeback from 3-0 down to beat AC Milan on penalties and although Manchester City will look to avoid that kind of drama here, an English victory will be all that matters for their supporters.
Opta Stat: Another Shootout in Turkey?
“This is the first-ever meeting between Manchester City and Internazionale. It’s the first time the first competitive meeting between two sides has been in a UEFA Champions League final since Liverpool faced AC Milan in 2005, also played at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, when the English side won on penalties after a 3-3 draw.”
Potential Bet: Man City to win on penalties @ 14/1 with bet365.
Opta Stat: Inter Love a Clean Sheet
“Internazionale have kept eight clean sheets in 12 UEFA Champions League matches this season, including five in six games in the knockout stages. Should they hold their opponents to a shutout here, they would equal the record for most clean sheets in the knockout stages in a single edition of the tournament (six – previously done by Arsenal in 2005-06).”
Potential Bet: Inter Milan to keep a clean sheet @ 6/1 with William Hill.
Opta Stat: Grealish the Key Man
“Jack Grealish has created 35 chances for Manchester City in this season’s UEFA Champions League, the most by an English player in a season that Opta has on record (2003-04 onwards) and most by any player since Dusan Tadic in 2018-19 for Ajax (37). Grealish has also carried the ball the furthest distance of any player (3,208m) – more than Inter’s top-two most prolific ball carriers combined (2,786m).”
Potential Bet: Jack Grealish over 0.5 assists @ 10/3 with Boylesports.
Opta Stat: Haaland Chasing Another Record
“Erling Haaland has scored 12 UEFA Champions League goals this season for Manchester City, the joint most by a player for an English club along with Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2002-03 for Man Utd. He’s failed to score in his last two appearances in the competition, never before going three consecutive games without a goal. The last Norweigan player to score in a Champions League final was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the 1999 final for Manchester United.”
Potential Bet: Haaland to score the first goal of the Champions League final @ 11/5 with BetUK.
Opta Stat: Lukaku Can Have an Impact
“Despite only playing 144 minutes and not starting a single game in the UEFA Champions League this season, Romelu Lukaku is the only Inter player to have either scored or assisted in every round they’ve featured in (goal in group stage, goal in RO16, goal in quarter-final, assist in semi-final). The only player to start a Champions League final having not started a game prior to that in the season was Ryan Bertrand in 2012 for Chelsea.”
Potential Bet: Lukaku to score anytime @ 9/2 with bet365.
