Manchester City and Inter will wrap up the 2022/23 season with a Champions League Finals on Saturday evening. The English team wishes to complete the treble, while the Nerazzurri seek a surprise in this encounter.
Manchester City Preview & Team News
Manchester City, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 2-1 FA Cup success vs Manchester United. In that match, Manchester City managed 60% possession and 11 shots at goal, with 5 of them on target. Therefore, the Citizens won the major cup competition in England and celebrated the double after winning the Premier League. However, their campaign is not over yet, and Pep Guardiola and the lads want to reach the most valuable trophy in European football. Ahead of this clash, there’s just the lone fitness concern for Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Zack Steffen (Knee Surgery) is out of contention. Benjamin Mendy is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
Inter Preview & Team News
Inter will come into the match following on from a 1-0 Serie A win with the downing of Torino in their previous game. In that clash, Inter managed 59% possession and 14 attempts at goal, with 4 of them on target. Inter finished the Serie A campaign in 3rd place, but they won Coppa Italia after beating Fiorentina in the finals. Over the course of their previous half-dozen clashes, Inter have bagged a tally of 12 goals. The Nerazzuri have been in excellent form lately, winning 11 times on the last 12 occasions in all competitions. Inter boss Simone Inzaghi has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Hamstring Injury), Joaquín Correa (Calf Injury), and Dalbert (Cruciate Ligament Injury) won’t be making appearances.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Manchester City has been unstoppable in 2023, and they’ve won every important game so far this year. Although we shouldn’t underestimate Inter since they have experience of winning this competition, we don’t think the Citizens will repeat the same mistake as two years ago. Therefore, we believe Manchester City will celebrate in Istanbul on Wednesday evening.
Goals Market Prediction
Inter should be focused mostly on counter-attacks, and we expect Manchester City to dictate the tempo. However, the Nerazzurri failed to score only once in the last 17 games, and we don’t think either team will keep a clean sheet.
