(AsiaGameHub) –   Betting data from Sportradar’s Managed Trading Services (MTS) indicates Paris Saint-Germain is entering the UEFA Champions League Final as the clear favorite among bettors.

Sportradar processes betting tickets for over 250 sportsbooks globally, offering a comprehensive overview of fan engagement across key markets.

When looking at bets across the final result, tournament winner, and goalscorer markets, PSG stands out as the obvious choice ahead of kickoff.

For Saturday’s final itself, 75% of bets are backing PSG to win, compared to 25% for Arsenal—suggesting the Premier League side is viewed as the underdog despite reaching the prestigious showpiece match. These bets became available once the finalists were confirmed and include both 90-minute result betting (1×2) and outright winner betting, which covers extra time and penalties.

This contrasts with the tournament winner market (where tickets were placed throughout the competition on either Arsenal or PSG to win the UEFA Champions League), where Arsenal attracted a larger share of bets (56%) than PSG (44%).

Bettors’ confidence in PSG ahead of the final is also reflected in goal scorer bets. Ousmane Dembélé is the most backed player to score, accounting for around 46% of such bets, followed by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia with approximately 28%—highlighting strong belief in PSG’s attacking prowess.

By comparison, Arsenal players feature far less prominently in scoring markets, with no individual player exceeding 5% of betting tickets. Arsenal forward Viktor Gyokeres received the third-highest number of tickets (5.11%), while five other Gunners combined for just over 9.5% of total tickets: Eberechi Eze (3.46%), Bukayo Saka (2%), Declan Rice (1.7%), Martin Odegaard (1.21%), and Kai Havertz (1.15%).

Sportradar’s insights show overall engagement with the UEFA Champions League remains exceptionally high, with more than 513 million betting tickets placed across the competition—underscoring its global appeal.
