The 2024-25 Champions League Final kicks off Saturday afternoon (3 p.m. ET) at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.
Paris Saint-Germain is a -156 favorite to lift the trophy, with Inter Milan sitting at +132 odds.
PSG is +110 to win the match inside 90 minutes, with Inter priced as a +250 underdog.
A draw has +240 odds.
Inter is searching for its fourth Champions League title, but first since 2010, while PSG has infamously never won the trophy.
Champions League Final: Inter vs. PSG betting preview
This was supposed to be a step-back season for PSG.
Les Parisiens lost Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid in the summer, but manager Luis Enrique was able to turn his dynamic, young roster into a juggernaut.
PSG ran away with the title in Ligue 1, losing just two games and posting a plus-57 goal difference along the way. Les Parisiens also recorded a plus-57.7 expected goal differential, which was the best mark in Europe's Big 5 leagues.
It wasn't a shock that Paris Saint-Germain won Ligue 1, but to see this young roster coalesce in the fashion it did without Mbappe was pretty surprising.
Inter, in a lot of ways, is the opposite of PSG. With an average age of 30 years and four months, I Nerazzurri are one of the most experienced squads in Europe.
Their likely Starting XI features eight players who took part in their last trip to the Champions League Final two years ago. Manager Simone Inzaghi has been in charge of the club since 2021.
PSG supporters will be in full voice in Munich on Saturday.

Champions League Final: Inter vs. PSG pick
The last six Champions League Finals have finished 1-0 or 2-0. They're typically nervy, with both clubs looking to avoid making the mistake that leads to the first goal.
I don't think that will be the case Saturday.

PSG will want to engage Inter and turn this into a track meet, while Inter will want the opposite to happen.
That should lead to a pretty frenetic tempo, with both teams feeling uncomfortable when the other is in control.
You'll always get a discount on backing the over in Champions League Finals, and a match with plenty of scoring favors PSG.

Emmanuel Macron invites wife Brigitte to stand by his side to celebrate soccer championship, week after infamous viral slap clip
French President Emmanuel Macron invited his wife to stand by his side Sunday to celebrate the Parisian soccer team winning the Champions League at the Elysee Palace, just a week after the first lady was caught slapping the president on video. Macron gently took his wife Brigitte's hand in front of dozens of cameras as the couple cheered on the victorious team, following a tense week of speculation about their relationship status amid their public quarrel. The shocking video showed Brigitte take both her hands and smash them into Macron's face as they were departing the presidential jet that had just landed in Hanoi for an official visit with Vietnamese dignitaries last Sunday. Advertisement 3 President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron stand side-by-side with the hometown championship soccer team one week removed from the viral slap. via REUTERS As they descended the stairs, the first lady appeared to mutter 'Dégage, espèce de loser' — or in English: 'Stay away, you loser' to her husband, a lip reader told the UK's Daily Express newspaper. Footage of the soccer celebration this Sunday shared by the Daily Mail shows a much happier couple. With a broad smile, the French president encouraged his wife to join him as he stood with the players from the triumphant Paris Saint-Germain team. Advertisement Macron welcomed the Paris Saint-Germain team back to the French capital Sunday after the athletes beat Inter Milan 5-0 Saturday night, hoisting the Champions League trophy for the first time in the club's history. In Sunday's more cheerful video, Macron poses for photos with the jubilant team. He shouts 'bravo' and then happily calls for Brigitte to join them. The players can be seen moving out of the way so the first lady can stand with her husband. Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of the PSG, also encourages her to join the crowd, and moves aside for her, the clip shows. 3 Emmanuel Macron, holds up a soccer jersey, and his wife Brigitte welcomed the victorious French team.

The pair tried to play off last week's highly publicized slap, as playful rough housing, then as Russian disinformation, but eventually conceded that the camera caught them mid-domestic squabble. 'At the beginning, the Elysee [Palace] denied the truth of the images, suggesting a video generated by AI and relayed by pro-Russian accounts before finally authenticating the sequence which [they said] evoked a moment of 'complicity,'' said news outlet Breves de Presse in a post on X Monday. 3 The shocking moment that First Lady Brigitte Macron slaps her husband French President Emmanuel Macron. Advertisement President Trump offered up cheeky advice last week for France's first family to help keep the peace. 'Make sure the door remains closed,' Trump chuckled in the Oval Office while responding to a question about the stunning video of Madame Macron's assault. 'That was not good,' Trump said of the slap video. 'No, I spoke to him and he's fine, they're fine. They're two really good people. I know them very well. And, I don't know what that was all about, but I know him very well and they're fine.' The pleasant meeting with the team came during a tumultuous time on the streets. Two fans died and a police officer is in a coma after mass nationwide celebrations turned into violent riots, French authorities said Sunday.
