Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid Predictions, Match Preview and Betting Tips

This will be Bayern Munich’s last friendly before the start of the new season, and comes at a convenient time, leaving them 10 days to recover before their German Super Cup match against Borussia Dortmund next Sunday. Everyone who is fit will be looking to get a run out in this fixture.

This ICC match also comes as Real Madrid’s last friendly before the start of the new season. However, unfortunately for the Spaniards, it comes just 5 days before the UEFA Super Cup final against Sevilla. Zinedine Zidane will be wary of this and may not give his star players as long on the pitch as he would otherwise.

Bayern lost their opening game in the ICC with a defeat on penalties to AC Milan, before destroying Inter Milan 4-1 a few days later. Ancelotti is likely to start a similar side to the one that played Inter, meaning that he’ll be putting out a fairly strong side, with big names like Vidal, Alaba and Javi Martinez all starting. USA international Julian Green is likely to start again up front, after he smashed in a first half hat trick against Inter.

Madrid lost their opening game 3-1 to PSG, before beating Chelsea 3-2 a few days ago. Zidane played a very weak side during that game and will probably do the same again as the new season is very close for Madrid. A few more first team players may at least get half an hour of play, but that will not likely be enough to influence the score line greatly.

Bayern’s extra time before their new season puts them in a favourable position for the tie as they have more time to recover and can therefore play a stronger side. For that reason we predict a Bayern Munich Win at 1/1 and a scoreline of 2-1 to Bayern.
