Competition: International Champions Cup
Market: Bayern Munich win
Odds: 6/5 @ Bet 365
Looking to get off to a winning start before making a defense of their domestic crowns, two of European footballs most iconic sides will clash when Bayern Munich face off against Juventus at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia when they meet in the International Champions Cup.
Starting with new Bayern boss Niko Kovač, the former Croatian international saw his German champions get off to a winning start in Austria last Saturday. Beating Ligue 1 champions PSG 3-1 thanks to goals from Javi Martinez, Renato Sanches and Joshua Zirkzee, many are excited by Kovac’s tenure at the Allianz Arena and the Bundesliga kings will welcome Arturo Vidal back after the midfielder missed last weeks win with a minor knee injury. One man to watch is winter signing Sandro Wagner scored on average every 90.25 minutes, which translates to one goal per full match. Only losing three of the 10 meetings between the two sides, we’re backing Bayern to come away with another win in Philadelphia.
As for the defending Serie A champions, although this will be Juventus’ first match of their pre-season tour, the White and Blacks will be without record signing Cristiano Ronaldo. After joining from Real Madrid in an eye-catching £100 million deal, the Portuguese captain is still on vacation after a reaching the round of 16 with Portugal at this summers World Cup finals. Although fellow new signing Emre Can is expected to make his debut, Juventus will be without the likes of Dybala, Higuain, Cuadrado, Mandzukic, Costa and Matuidi.
