Champions League Final betting odds

Even though United didn't concede a single goal away from Old Trafford in their run to the final, Pep Guardiola's outfit are available at 90.5 – 92 on the outright index spread (100pts for winner, 75pts for runner-up). Spread enthusiasts may have noted that Wembley Stadium has huge significance for both clubs, as United and Barca won their first European trophies here, in 1968 and 1992 respectively.

Both outfits are undefeated in the tournament and spread punters would be able to make a case for buying the finalist's win index price. Those keen to sell the Red Devils' outright index spread will point to the last time these sides met in the Rome final in 2009 where the Spaniards comfortably won 2-0. Anyone buying United's outright index would counter that the defeat was the first occasion Barca had beaten the side for five contests. As it stands, the Wembley final will be the 11th time Barca and United have met, with three wins each to their name and four draws.

United are the first side in the Champions League era to have reached the final without conceding a single away goal, which will be of interest to punters having a spread bet on the match supremacy market. Supremacy spread buyers and sellers might like to know that four of the past 11 European cup finals have needed a penalty shoot-out.
Sporting Index's total goals market always provides a popular betting discussion and those thinking of a spread bet on goals should be aware that the previous 11 finals have accumulated 29 goals, averaging 2.63 per game. Sellers of the total goals spread might be intrigued to learn that in those 11 finals there has only been one goalless draw – which was in 2003 when AC Milan beat Juventus on penalties at Old Trafford.
Manchester United have found the back of the net 18 times this year in Europe, compared to Barcelona's 27 goals. Spread sellers of total goals will take plenty of encouragement that there have been only three goals scored in the past three matches involving Saturday's finalists.
The total goal minutes spread will again spark plenty of debate among fans. Those buying total goal minutes for the final might like to know that the last five finals have accumulated 105, 71, 216, 194 and 254, when Liverpool fought back from 3-0 down to beat AC Milan in 2005 on penalties.

Spread sellers of the total bookings market at Wembley will be pleased to hear that there were only three yellow cards brandished in last year's final. The past four finals have seen a total of 15 yellow cards issued and no dismissals within 90 minutes. Buyers of the bookings index will be hoping for a repeat of the 2006 final between Barcelona and Arsenal, as Jens Lehman was sent off and the total reached 65 points.
