EUROPEAN COMPETITIONS: CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, EUROPA LEAGUE AND CONFERENCE LEAGUE FINALS 22-23

With all the European Finals approaching, here are the probabilities associated with the possible outcomes.

European Finals 22-23: Probabilities associated with the results of the finals in the 90 minutes of play.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL: MAN. CITY – INTER

  • Man. City are considered big favourites for the CL Final. According to our model, Man. City’s victory is the most likely outcome.

EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL: SEVILLA – ROMA

  • In a final where the most successful team in this competition is present, the small percentage difference between a Sevilla win and a Roma win emphasises the evenly match expected. Nevertheless, Sevilla is the most likely team to win this competition.

CONFERENCE LEAGUE: FIORENTINA – WEST HAM

  • The Conference League Final is the only match that our model considers the Italian team as favourites. Despite this, the percentage difference between the victories is low, a situation that only takes place because of the quality that both teams display.
