UEFA Champions League Finals Betting Prediction
A few weeks ago, the draw represented the best bet. Why? There was a reason to question the Sky Blues’ form. Man City had lost to Chelsea, had to fight hard against Newcastle, and looked lethargic in a loss to Brighton.
But Pep had a plan all along. Get his best players’ legs underneath them and try out some things in the final few EPL games to set up a blistering attack in the UEFA Champions League Finals.
The 5-0 victory over Everton says it all. Kevin De Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus, and Philip Foden all scored. Sergio Aguero scored 2.
Chelsea and their fans should be worried. Yes, the Blues have beaten the Sky Blues twice this season, but part of being an excellent soccer manager and coach is knowing which games to settle your players and which to let them loose.
Guardiola knows that as well as any manager on the planet. Not only that, but Thomas Tuchel has a win, a draw, and 4 losses in 6 head-to-head battles against Pep.
Tuchel is bringing the proverbial knife into a gunfight. His team doesn’t have the firepower to hang. City rolls.
