3 Best Prop Bets for Liverpool vs. Real Madrid in Champions League Final

After months of hard-fought matches across the UEFA Champions League, it all comes down to this.

Liverpool and Real Madrid go head to head on Saturday to determine who takes home the crown this season. While I have a preview of this game elsewhere, I wanted to dig deeper into some prop bets to add to your regular sides for this weekend’s epic finale.

Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

3 Best Prop Bets for Liverpool vs. Real Madrid

Liverpool to Score First -145

While I do believe that Real Madrid ends up on top of this game, there is one small problem with this prediction. Los Blancos are notoriously slow starters. Over their last six elimination games, Real Madrid gave up the first goal in five of those games.

Manchester City and PSG did it twice and Chelsea once. This is not just something that has been an issue in Champions League play, as Real Madrid is also conceding early goals in big La Liga Matches lately too. They have perfected the comeback, but for our purposes, Liverpool is a good bet to go up early. 

Karim Benzema +110 to Score

A big part of Real Madrid’s comeback mentality is striker Benzema. He’s one of the hottest scorers in the world right now with 15 goals in his last 11 games for Real Madrid. He’s hungry too after getting shut down in the La Liga finale against Real Betis.

Benzema hasn’t gone more than one game without a goal since October 2021. He’s on fire and is the best bet to score a goal in this match with the momentum he is carrying. 

Real Madrid to Win and OVER 1.5 Goals +300

This bet makes sense because I believe both of these outcomes are more than likely. Real Madrid has a shot at a historic quadruple win and is a lot more dangerous of a team than the odds suggest.

Liverpool is generally considered the favorite but I don’t love them as much as the general public and bookmakers. Liverpool is dealing with injuries and might be without its best offensive weapon in Thiago Alcantara for this crucial game. 1.5 goals isn’t a hard bar to clear for these two teams in this spot and only adds to the value of Real to win.
