Man City meet Chelsea at the Estádio do Dragão (Porto) in the UEFA Champions League Finals and the match kicks off at 8 pm (UK) on Saturday, May 29. Read our reasons for Man City vs Chelsea prediction and betting tips.
It's an all-English final in the Champions League. Chelsea beat Real Madrid by a 3-1 aggregate score in the semifinals, one day after Man City secured a 4-1 aggregate win over PSG to reach the first Champions League final in club history. Man City enter the match as the favourites since they’ve been arguably the strongest squad from Europe's five major leagues. Nineteen points also separate City from Chelsea in the Premier League table, but the Blues came away as 1-0 victors when they met in the semifinals of the FA Cup. That result, along with Chelsea's run to the Champions League final, are evidence of how much things have improved at Stamford Bridge under the watch of Thomas Tuchel, which gives them further reason to believe.
England's champions seem to have what it takes to win in Europe this season. City's attacking brilliance is long established, but they've added greater defensive solidity, with only four goals conceded in their 12 games played so far. If overcoming their quarter-final hoodoo was a boost to their self-belief, the manner of their semi-final triumph against Paris has surely banished any doubts about City's ability to go all the way.
Having said all of that, City and Pep Guardiola are on the precipice of achieving the primary objective Guardiola assumed when he arrived in 2016. Man City also have been one of the strongest teams in Europe this season, clinching their fifth Premier League title in nine years and storming into the Champions League final with wins over Borussia Monchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund and PSG. Man City have lost their last two encounters with Chelsea but can have the last laugh by prevailing in the CL final in Portugal.
As for Chelsea, the Blues began their CL campaign with Frank Lampard in charge and went unbeaten throughout the pool stage, with a 4-0 thrashing of Sevilla in Spain the pick of their performances. Tuchel had taken over before the knockout rounds began and immediately showed his European pedigree, having guided PSG to the final last term. Atletico Madrid were beaten 1-0 away and 2-0 at home before Porto were accounted for far more comfortably than a 2-1 aggregate scoreline suggests.
After drawing 1-1 at Real Madrid in the first leg of their semi-final, Chelsea were outstanding in the return fixture, when the 2-0 margin of victory could easily have been doubled. The London outfit can be lethal on the break and City have faltered against teams set up to counter-attack in the past. This time around, the club is one of the most in-form in Europe alongside their opponents in the finals. Chelsea's collective strength going forward is balanced by a stifling defense.

Man City meet Chelsea only for the second time in the European competitions. The only previous meeting came in the 1970/71 Cup Winners’ Cup semi-final – Chelsea won both legs 1-0 to progress to the final, where they beat Real Madrid after a replay. Chelsea have won their last two matches against City in all competitions, both coming since Thomas Tuchel took over at the club. They last won three in a row against Man City between 2005 and 2009, when they won eight in a row.
However, Pep Guardiola fielded several fringe players in both of those contests and when he fields his strongest team on Saturday night it will be impossible to look past Man City.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
