Dortmund, on the other hand, have also had an impressive campaign, particularly noted for their strong defensive performances, not conceding a single goal in their semifinal clash against PSG.

Key Predictions and Betting Tips:
-
- Match Outcome: Real Madrid are heavily favored to win, with odds around -149 (1.67) for their victory​ (JohnnyBet)​. Given their historical dominance in the Champions League and current form, they are expected to secure the title.
- Goals: There is a strong likelihood of over 2.5 goals being scored in the match, given the attacking capabilities of both teams and their recent head-to-head encounters which have typically seen high scoring games​ (ProTipster)​.
- Both Teams to Score: Betting on both teams to score seems prudent, as Real Madrid and Dortmund both have strong offensive records this season​ (JohnnyBet)​.
- Historical Context: Real Madrid’s experience in finals and their psychological edge, having won all their previous eight finals in the Champions League era, gives them an additional advantage​ (Squawka)​.
Overall, while Real Madrid are favored, Dortmund’s potential for an upset cannot be completely ruled out, especially if they can replicate their defensive solidity and exploit their attacking chances efficiently. For bettors, combining a Real Madrid win with over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring could offer a lucrative return.
