(AsiaGameHub) –   The French club has drawn the bulk of wagers, with Arsenal going into the final as the less fancied side.

Press release.- Wager data from Sportradar’s Managed Trading Services (MTS) indicates Paris Saint-Germain is heading into the UEFA Champions League Final as the clear favourite among bettors.

Sportradar processes betting slips for over 250 sportsbooks across the globe, offering a comprehensive overview of fan engagement across key markets. When looking at wagers across the final result, overall tournament winner and goalscorer markets, PSG stands out as the obvious choice for bettors ahead of kickoff.

For Saturday’s final specifically, 75 per cent of wagers are backing PSG to secure a win, compared to 25 per cent for Arsenal, indicating the Premier League side is viewed as the underdog despite qualifying for the showpiece fixture. These wagers opened as soon as the two finalists were confirmed, and cover both 90-minute result betting (1×2) and outright match winner betting that accounts for extra time and penalties.

This runs counter to trends in the tournament winner market, which counts wagers placed at any point throughout the competition on either Arsenal or PSG to win the UEFA Champions League. In this market, Arsenal drew a larger share of bets at 56 per cent, versus 44 per cent for PSG.

Bettor confidence in PSG ahead of the final is also reflected in goalscorer wagers. Ousmane Dembélé is the most backed player to find the net, making up around 46 per cent of all bets in this category, followed by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia with approximately 28 per cent, underscoring strong faith in PSG’s attacking capabilities.

By comparison, Arsenal players are far less prominent in goalscorer markets, with no individual player making up more than 5 per cent of betting slips. Arsenal forward Viktor Gyokeres received the third highest share of wagers at 5.11 per cent, while five other Gunners account for just over 9.5 per cent of total bets in the category – Eberechi Eze (3.46 per cent), Bukayo Saka (2 per cent), Declan Rice (1.7 per cent), Martin Odegaard (1.21 per cent), Kai Havertz (1.15 per cent).

Sportradar’s insights show overall engagement with the UEFA Champions League remains exceptionally high, with over 513 million betting slips placed across the entire competition, highlighting its widespread global appeal.
