PSG and Arsenal battle to be crowned the kings of European soccer in Saturday’s Champions League final.
PSG seek to retain the prize they won last year, while Arsenal look to lift the trophy for the first time. I expect a low-scoring encounter, with PSG’s players the smart selections to dominate in the shots markets.
Read on for my UEFA Champions League best bets for Saturday, May 30.
UEFA Champions League Final picks for Saturday
PSG vs Arsenal
Under 2.5 (-128 at Sports Interaction)
There are few reasons to expect a high-scoring encounter, and plenty of evidence that we'll see the opposite.
Yes, PSG beat Inter Milan 5-0 in last season’s final, but the goals-fest on that occasion was an exception rather than the rule.
The Under 2.5 has landed in seven of the last 10 UCL finals, with an average goals-per-game count (regulation only) of 2.4. One team has failed to score in each of the last seven finals.
Arsenal will rely on the defensive strengths that have served them so well this season, with their robust tactical approach dictating how the game unfolds.
- Date: Saturday, May 30
- Time: 12:00 p.m. ET
- Location: Puskas Arena, Budapest, Hungary

Champions League Final player prop quick hits for Saturday
Vitinha 1+ shots on target (+185 at Sports Interaction)
Vitinha is the underrated contender in the shots on target market. The Portugal midfielder has managed a shot on target every 103 minutes in the Champions League this season, yet is fetching an unexpectedly large +185 price — a 35% chance — to do so in the final.
The odds on the technically brilliant 26-year-old are too big to overlook, and I'd play this down to +160.
