THREE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL BET BOOSTS WORTH YOUR TIME
Late goals, comeback victories, VAR controversies and hat-tricks – this season’s Champions League has had it all. Now for the final. After everything that’s come before it, will the Champions League Final live up to the billing? And perhaps more importantly, where should you be putting your money?
Harry Kane to score a goal assisted by Christian Eriksen | Was 10.00 | Now 13.00
If Kane is fit, he starts. Fernando Llorente may have managed to boss a team of teenagers in Ajax, but he’ll have no such luxury against Virgil van Dijk and co. Mauricio Pochettino knows that Spurs best chance of upsetting the Reds will come with Kane in the starting XI.
Should he make a welcome return for the North Londoners, it will be his partnership with Christian Eriksen that could prove the difference. No current Premier League partnership is more prolific than these two. Up there with the likes of Drogba and Lampard, and Henry and Pires for goal combinations, they could write their name in the record books on Saturday. And if they do, you’re going to want to have a couple Rand riding on it.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson both to assist a goal | Was 33.00 | Now 42.00
Liverpool’s fullbacks have been a revelation this season, redefining what it is to play in their positions. So often the most dangerous players on the park, they’ve tormented defences across Europe. Throw in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s set-piece ability you’ve got a great bet on your hands. At that price, you can’t get hurt.

Virgil van Dijk to be named Man of The Match | Was 6.00 | Now 8.00
In another year, it might’ve been the moment Liverpool won the league. Mo Sissoko bearing down on goal with Heung-Min Son at his side. Between them, the inimitable frame of Virgil van Dijk. Unfortunately for Reds’ fans, it was not to be. However, the Dutchman gets another shot at glory on Saturday and he’s not likely to let this one slip passed him.
