FC Bayern München vs Auckland City Preview and Team News

FC Bayern München Team News

Bayern will kick off their Club World Cup campaign with a match against a fully amateur side, Auckland City. Vincent Kompany’s men have just regained the Bundesliga trophy after a one-year hiatus and should be on a high note ahead of the event.

This will also be the swansong for the team’s legend, Thomas Muller, who announced his departure from Bayern Munich. Of course, it’s a chance for him to score more goals and finish with a title.

Jamal Musiala, who was out with an injury, has returned to training. His involvement in the upcoming fixture is questionable, but the German powerhouse shouldn’t have any problems without him. 

FC Bayern München predicted lineup vs Auckland City

FC Bayern München predicted lineup vs Auckland City: (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Guerreiro, Tah, Kim, Laimer; Kimmich, Goretzka; Sane, Muller, Olise; Kane.

Auckland City Team News

Auckland City will have the honour of sharing the field with Bayern Munich. The New Zealand opposition are the most successful Oceanian club in history, having won 11 of the last 13 OFC Champions Leagues.

Interestingly, they enjoy the highest number of appearances in the Club World Cup. This will be their 13th. Statistically, they’ve battled against top-tier opposition, so no one expects them to qualify for the playoffs.

Ryan de Vries will be in the spotlight for Auckland, as he’s played in five separate CWCs. The New Zealanders have not announced the final squad, but there are no injury worries.

FC Bayern München vs Auckland City Prediction 

• Pick: Over 2.5 Goals in 1st Half
• Odds: 2.39 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: FC Bayern München 5-0 Auckland City

There is no question that Bayern are the favourites for Sunday’s game. The difference in quality and class is simply too much. Even scoring a single goal will be a massive success for Auckland.

As is typical for Bayern, the German side will most likely take matters into their hands from the first minutes. We expect all key footballers in the starting lineup, and they shouldn’t face any difficulties.

We anticipate the fate of the match will be decided quickly. Bayern are used to scoring three or more goals against weaker opposition, which will probably be the case here too. Therefore, our first pick would be over 2.5 goals in the first half. 

FC Bayern München vs Auckland City Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Bayern – Over 10.5 Shots on Target
• Odds: 1.90 (22Bet)

It’s doubtful Auckland will have the ball throughout the game. Bayern should create a lot of moments. This will result in shots on target, and it’ll be Vincent Kompany’s men who spend most of their time in the offence.

With Michael Olise, Leroy Sane, and Harry Kane, who can shoot from any distance, the number of attempts will be massive. Even in the second half, we don’t think the home squad will stop and focus solely on possession.

In such a one-sided display, the nominal hosts will have a superior advantage. Thus, our second pick would be – Bayern to have over 10.5 shots on target.
