Two European heavyweights clash with each other on Wednesday afternoon when Bayern Munich go up against Liverpool in Singapore.
The German champions and the Merseyside outfit meet in a pre-season friendly, with old friends Thomas Tuchel and Jurgen Klopp in opposite dugouts.
For Liverpool, this is the penultimate friendly that will be played before their 2023/24 season begins with a trip to Stamford Bridge.
Football betting sites are predicting a tough test for the Reds when they clash with a club who are currently in hot pursuit of Harry Kane, with Bayern trading as slight favourites.
We’ve put together the following Bayern Munich vs Liverpool Bet Builder ahead of the game and a £10 stake on the below selections currently returns £100 on Bet365.
- Liverpool to win
- Both teams to score
- Darwin Nunez to score anytime
- Most goals to be scored in second half
It should be noted that pre-season fixtures are quite unpredictable as they’re essentially warm-up games, while both Klopp and Tuchel are sure to make plenty of substitutions throughout the 90 minutes.
However, our Bet Builder selections are based on previous performances this summer and we’ve laid out our reasons for the individual tips below.
Leg 1: Liverpool to win
Bookmakers have Bayern as slight favourites, although Liverpool are in strong form right now and they are likely to field a strong outfit.
They should include newly-appointed captain Virgil van Dijk and vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold, with Klopp’s side potentially ahead of their Bavarian opponents in terms of preparation.
After all, Bayern don’t play their curtain-raiser in the Bundesliga until Friday 18 August when they travel to Werder Bremen and we might therefore see their English opponents prove a little sharper all over the pitch and edge them out.
Leg 2: Both teams to score
The bookies anticipate that both sides will score at least once during the 90 minutes and that’s a probable outcome.
Liverpool have scored four goals in three successive pre-season friendlies, while Bayern Munich are a team who are dripping with attacking talent even though former Red Sadio Mane is leaving for Saudi Arabia.
Leg 3: Darwin Nunez to score anytime
Darwin Nunez has recently been given the number nine shirt in the wake of Roberto Firmino leaving Anfield and the Uruguayan looks to be the first-choice centre-forward at Anfield next season.
Nunez has been amongst the goals during pre-season and got on the scoresheet against Leicester last time out.
He was lively during his maiden season for the Reds and it might be hard for the Bayern defence to contain a player who is likely to start.
However, the majority of bookmakers will now void a selection such as this one if the nominated player doesn’t begin the match, so check the terms before including this pick.
Leg 4: Most goals scored in second half
The result is not the be-all-and-end-all for either team and we might see a lack of concentration as the game progresses into the second half.
While both managers are likely to start with strong line-ups considering the quality of the respective opposition, we can see the key men being withdrawn and formations becoming a little more experimental as the time elapses.
For those thinking there could be more goal action after the interval, this Bet Builder selection could generate a good potential return.
