Bayern Munich take on Manchester City in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 26th at National Olympic Stadium (Tokyo).
Bayern Munich need to regain their former stability. Last season was not a successful one for Bayern; the team lacked consistency both on the field and in the locker room. The club narrowly won the Bundesliga, and it was only thanks to Borussia Dortmund's slip-up on the final matchday. They failed to secure any other trophies. This summer, Bayern only played one match against the little-known Rottach-Egern, defeating them with a score of 27-0. During the offseason, Bayern acquired Min-Jae Kim from Naoli for 50 million euros, while they sold Lukas Hernandez for 45 million and Javi Martinez for 19 million. They also signed free agents Laimer and Guerrero.

Manchester City will find it challenging to repeat the success of the previous season. The "Citizens" had a dream season, finally winning the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history. Although they didn't perform well in the final, they still secured the trophy. In addition to winning the most prestigious European cup, Guardiola's boys also won the Premier League and the FA Cup, completing a treble. Now the team can play with freedom, as the momentum from their successes still lingers. Just look at Jack Grealish, who was hardly seen sober during the vacation. Manchester City played one match this summer, defeating Yokohama 5-3.
The teams met last season in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, and everything was settled in the first leg when Manchester City won 3-0 at home. The second leg ended in a 1-1 draw. Bookmakers give Manchester City a slight advantage in this matchup, although it is evident that prestige is at stake, and neither team needs a win at all costs. As they face two attacking-minded and skillful teams, there's hope for an entertaining football spectacle. We'll take the risk and bet on a total of over 3.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
