Real will avoid a big scare

REAL MADRID have to rule in Europe with Barcelona reigning in Spain.

Barca clinched the title on Sunday to complete a league and cup double and are still unbeaten in La Liga.

So for Real winning the Champions League will be a great consolation prize.

Zinedine Zidane’s men are massive favourites at 2-7 with Sky Bet to reach the Final tonight after winning 2-1 away to Bayern Munich. The Germans are 3-1 at Betfred to qualify.

Real should complete the job but last season were forced to extra time in a similar position and in the quarters almost blew a 3-0 lead against Juventus before Cristiano Ronaldo’s injury-time penalty put them through.

I believe Zidane will have learned a lesson from the Juve game and while he’ll be without Isco and Dani Carvajal, Bayern crucially miss three key men in Arturo Vidal, Jerome Boateng and Arjen Robben.

I’m taking Real to win at a best 23-20 with McBookie and consider Ronaldo, whose run of 11 consecutive CL games with a goal was ended in Munich, to score at 13-16 with Unibet.

Bayern are a best 23-10 at Marathonbet to win in the Bernabeu while the draw pays 16-5 at betfair.

Meanwhile, Dunfermline v Dundee United in the Premiership play-off promises to be tight.

Both meetings this year have been draws and both have been in decent form.

I’m giving Pars the edge and they are 5-4 (McBookie). It will be tense so under 2.5 goals has a chance at 10-11 (McBookie).
