PREVIEW

 The final game of the 2019-20 season is here and it's the Champions League final, between the two teams that have scored the most goals in this Champions League campaign. You can't imagine a more enticing final that could go either way really like this one. PSG breezed past RB Leipzig in the semi-finals winning 3-0 to make it to the club's first European Cup final. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, also won 3-0 against an Olympique Lyonnais side which had multiple chances to go ahead in the early minutes of their semi-final clash. The German champions made defensive errors against Lyon which would easily be pounced on if they happen against a side like PSG.

If Twitter polls are anything to go by, this game really has no favorite with both sides looking likely to lift the trophy on Sunday night. But if trends are anything to go by, the odds are against PSG. The last six teams that have made it to the Champions League final for the first time have all gone on to lose in the final. Apart from this, the final on Sunday would be the fourth major final in a UEFA competition between a German and a French team, with the German team winning on all of the previous occasions. But PSG could always cause a break in these trends.

PREDICTIONS

Jérôme Boateng was taken off at half-time during the semi-final due to scares of a muscular problem, but he has been cleared to appear for the final. The team would actually be going into the final game of the season with a fully fit squad. But I doubt Hansi Flick would try to change the formation or the starting lineup for the final, I expect the team to start the same as they started against both Barcelona and Lyon.

As far as my predictions go, I nearly had a perfect score but it stays at 2/3 taking my overall score to 14/21. Here are my predictions for the final:

1. Bayern Munich will lift the Champions League trophy on Sunday.

2. Robert Lewandowski will not break the single season goal record for the Champions League.

3. Both teams will score a goal.

I expect it to be a very tightly contested final with both teams playing intensely from the start. But I still predict a 3-2 win for Bayern. Let's just hope it happens.
