Manchester City are favourites with TAB to land their first UEFA Champions League crown at the end of the month.
Pep Guardiola’s side have been installed $1.90 favourites in the Result market (90 mins + stoppages) to get to their ‘Holy Grail’ – a prize that has so far eluded The Citizens despite all their recent domestic success.
Having already claimed the English Premier League title and League Cup Final, Manchester City are on course for a unique treble in their history.
Standing in the way is Chelsea who are $3.90 outsiders with TAB despite having beaten Manchester City in their most recent clash (in the FA Cup semis).
In fact, the pair go head-to-head in an early preview of the Champions League Final this weekend in the EPL. In a similar story betting-wise, City are $1.87 to take all three points with Chelsea $4.25 outsiders and the Draw at $3.40.
TAB are already open on 55 markets for the Final to be held in Istanbul on May 30.
