Man City vs Inter Milan – Champions League Final Predictions
We're bringing you our Champions League predictions for Saturday's final which will be played between the Premier League champions Man City and the Coppa Italia winners Inter Milan. These two sides have played one another before but only in pre-season friendlies so the 2022/23 Champions League final will be the pair's first competitive encounter. Pep Guardiola's side head into the final as the big favourite with the bookmakers but Inter Milan have been here and done it before and that experience could prove vital.
Contents
Man City to Win and Both Teams to Score
Our first Man City vs Inter Milan prediction is for City to win and both teams to score in the process. Man City have won four of their last six outings in all competitions but haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last three fixtures. Both teams have also scored in four of Inter Milan's last six matches and the Italians have scored in each of their last 13 matches in all competitions.
Erling Haaland to Score
Our second Man City vs Inter Milan prediction delves into the Anytime Goalscorer market. Erling Haaland has set both the Premier League and the Champions League alight this season with goalscoring ability. The Norwegian striker claimed the Premier League Golden Boot award with 36 goals in his debut season at the Citizens and will also pick up the top goalscorer award in the Champions League as he already has 12-goals in the competition and all of his nearest rivals play for teams that have been eliminated from the competition.

Man City vs Inter Milan Lineups and Last Match
Man City
Man City put in a fantastic display in the 2nd leg of their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid. The 1st leg ended in a 1-1 draw giving City the advantage heading into their home game against the Spanish giants. Two first-half goals from Silva set Guardiola's men on their way to victory and a further two goals from Akanji and Alvarez made the victory emphatic.
Man City head into the final without any major injury concerns or suspended players, so Guardiola has some big decisions to make as to who starts the game.
Predicted Lineup – Ederson (GK), Walker, Stones, Dias, Akanji, Gündoğan, De Bruyne, Grealish, Silva, Rodri & Haaland
Inter Milan
Inter Milan's semi-final also turned out to be fairly straightforward against their neighbours and arch-rivals AC Milan. Following a 2-0 ‘away' win, Inter kept things tight at the back once again and Martinez managed to score a goal in the second half to secure a 3-0 aggregate victory for Inzaghi's men.
Joaquin Correa is the main doubt for the Italians this weekend. A muscle injury could keep the Argentine international out of the Champions League final which would be a real shame.
Predicted Lineup – Onana (GK), Darmian, Acerbi, Dimarco, Dumfries, Bastoni, Mkhitaryan, Çalhanoğlu, Barella, Džeko & Martínez

Player to Watch: Erling Haaland
Who else but Erling Haaland could we have chosen as our player to watch in the Champions League final?
The Norwegian star has taken the Premier League by storm and is going to end this season's Champions League campaign as the top goalscorer in the competition, at the very least.
Man City are the big favourite to win this weekend and complete a historic treble, and much of the praise in all of these competitions has to go to the goal machine that is, Erling Haaland.
