PSG Backed by Bettors to Beat Arsenal in Champions League Final

Switzerland.- May 29, 2026 www.zonadeazar.com Betting data from Sportradar’s Managed Trading Services (MTS) shows Paris Saint-Germain heading into the UEFA Champions League Final as clear favourites among bettors.

Sportradar processes betting tickets for more than 250 sportsbooks worldwide, providing a comprehensive view of fan engagement across key markets.

Looking at betting across the final result, tournament winner and goalscorer markets, PSG emerges as the clear pick ahead of kickoff.

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

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

Confidence in PSG ahead of the final is also reflected in bets on goal scorers. Ousmane Dembélé is the most backed player to score, accounting for around 46% of bets,

followed by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia with approximately 28%, highlighting strong belief in PSG’s attacking strength.

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%), with five other Gunners receiving

just over 9.5% of total tickets – Eberechi Eze (3.46%), Bukayo Saka (2%), Declan Rice (1.7%), Martin Odegaard (1.21%), Kai Havertz (1.15%).

Sportradar’s insights demonstrate overall engagement with the UEFA Champions

League remains exceptionally high, with more than 513 million betting tickets placed across the competition, underlining its global appeal.
