MFT SlipsTips Safe 01

After delivering a winning selection in his featured column last weekend, SlipsTips is back with a player-based Bet Builder double ahead of Saturday night's Champions League final between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid.

Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid (Saturday, 20:00)

Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid will go toe-to-toe in the final of the 2023-24 Champions League at Wembley on Saturday night.

The Bundesliga heavyweights fell at the final hurdle in the 2013 final and they now face a tall order if they are to conquer the continent for the first time since 1997.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, have contested five of the previous 10 Champions League finals, taking top honours on each occasion

Our man Kevin Mac already has you covered with an in-depth match preview, whereas I’ve put together a player-based Bet Builder double for Saturday night’s showpiece.

The combination of both Emre Can and Federico Valverde each to commit a foul will bring about an appetising 11/10 play on Betfair.

BVB skipper Can has been one of the most prolific hatchet-men in this season’s Champions League, having picked up four yellow cards in 10 appearances, whilst averaging 1.5 fouls per-game.

While Can has a handy knack for breaking up play, it often comes with consequences, not to mention keeping tabs on Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham will be a big ask.

Moving into the Los Blancos' engine room, I’m also prepared to side with Federico Valverde to get on the wrong side of the referee at least once on Saturday night.

The Uruguayan may not be an obvious candidate but he has been known to have a fiery streak, as evidenced by the fact he has committed a minimum of one foul in five of Real Madrid's last six Champions League matches.

Therefore, with all things considered, backing the above-mentioned duo each to commit a foul on Saturday night should give us a good run for our money at 11/10 on Betfair.

Recommended Bet

  • Emre Can to Commit 1+ Foul
  • Federico Valverde to Commit 1+ Foul
  • Bet Builder – 11/10 (Betfair)
