2024 Champions League final betting tips & predictions

With the 2024 Champions League final taking place between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund tomorrow evening, Ladbrokes shares its betting tips and predictions for the big game.

When the UCL campaign started back in September 2023, very few fans would have predicted that the final would see Real Madrid sharing the pitch with Borussia Dortmund, who they'd just taken Jude Bellingham from.

However, such is the nature of knockout football that we find ourselves with a final that many people see Real Madrid as the clear favourites to win, picking up their 15th Champions League trophy in the process.

Despite being the clear underdogs, Dortmund are going to make it their mission to make life incredibly difficult for Los Blancos at Wembley Stadium, and with anticipation for the final now at it peak, Ladbrokes shares its betting tips and predictions for what many people view as Europe's biggest club fixture.

Bellingham was signed by Dortmund in 2020 having played just 41 league appearances for his boyhood club Birmingham in England's second-tier.

The German side took a chance on the teenager, and just a few years later, sold him to Real Madrid in a deal that is expected to rise to over £100m if various performance-based clauses are met.

Bellingham probably didn't think that he'd be meeting his former team mates so soon, especially in the Champions League final, but we're predicting that the Englishman is going to have a big say over Saturday night's game.

For Ladbrokes' first 2024 Champions League final betting tip and prediction, we're going with Bellingham to find the back of the net at Wembley Stadium, adding to the 23 goals he's already scored in all competitions this campaign.

You can place the bet, at the time of writing, with odds of 23/20.

Jude Bellingham to score - 23/20

The Champions League final is always one of the biggest fixtures in the football calendar, if not the single biggest, but the 2024 iteration may be one of the most emotionally charged in years, especially for two players in particular.

Tomorrow evening's game marks the final time that Marco Reus will play for Dortmund, with the German announcing a few weeks ago that he plans on leaving the club at the end of the season.

The Champions League final will also be the final game of Toni Kroos' club football career, with the former Bayern Munich midfielder set to retire from football altogether following Euro 2024.

With the game being huge for both men, we're looking at a bet builder for this one featuring goals from both men on the night, which can be backed with odds of 41/1.

Toni Kroos & Marco Reus to score - 41/1

As noted, many fans are of the belief that Real Madrid, who are one of the favourites to sign England's Jarrad Branthwaite this summer, are going to win the game. Los Blancos are the clear favourites with the bookies to walk out of Wembley Stadium with their 15th Champions League trophy.

However, Dortmund have done incredibly well to get to the final of the competition, beating the likes of PSG and Atletico Madrid in the last two rounds, ties that many fans and pundits had them down as losing.

So, what if Dortmund shock the world and win the Champions League this year, taking the game to penalties?

Ladbrokes has the German side to win the game on penalties, at the time of writing, with odds of 11/1, which could well be worth a punt.

Borussia Dortmund to win on penalties - 11/1

Following the Champions League final, all attention will be on Euro 2024 which kicks off just shy of two weeks later. Ahead of the competition, Ladbrokes has shares a detailed nation-by-nation breakdown, including the odds for each country competing in this year's European Championships.
