The eagerly awaited pre-season friendly between Bayern Munich and Tottenham promises to be an exciting spectacle, with both teams fine-tuning their tactics and trying out new strategies ahead of the start of their respective leagues. Here are five key predictions for the clash.
Under new manager Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich are expected to control possession. Kompany’s playing philosophy prioritises a dominating and possessive style, so we will see the Bavarians trying to impose their pace and control in the midfield, dictating the tempo of the match.
Despite Bayern’s dominance of possession, Tottenham are tipped to take the win. With Bayern fielding several substitutes to try out new variations and give their regulars a rest, Spurs will be able to use their quality and cohesion to their advantage.
With the attacking quality that both teams possess, it is very likely that we will see goals at both ends of the pitch. Both Bayern and Tottenham have high-calibre forwards and a creativity in midfield that ensures clear-cut scoring opportunities, making this an attractive and entertaining encounter.
Tottenham’s South Korean striker Heung-Min Son is a constant threat to any defence. His pace, ability to break through and accurate shooting make him a natural goalscorer. In this friendly, Son is expected to take advantage of the opportunities and demonstrate his goalscoring ability with at least one goal.
Young talent Bryan Zaragoza is set to shine in this friendly. With several regulars resting, Zaragoza will have the chance to shine and prove his worth. His one-on-one ability and creativity in attack position him as Bayern’s standout player in this encounter.
