Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur will face off in a friendly fixture at the Allianz Arena on Thursday evening.
The two teams are now in the latter stages of their respective pre-season schedules and both will be looking to ramp up their preparations a notch in Bavaria this week.
German giants Bayern will come into this exhibition encounter off the back of a 2-1 win over Lyon at home on Saturday.
Vincent Kompany's side will now face Spurs and then Grasshoppers before getting their first taste of competitive action against Stuttgart in the German Super Cup.
As for Spurs, they will be arriving in Germany off the back of a tour of Asia, where they defeated North London rivals Arsenal 1-0 before playing out a 1-1 draw with Newcastle.
Following this week’s friendly fixture with Bayern Munich, Thomas Frank and his team will turn their attention to next week’s UEFA Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain.
How the bookies view it: Bayern big favourites
It’s no surprise to see Bayern Munich as big favourites on Thursday evening, with a home win as short as 2/5 with Boylesports.
Tottenham come into this clash as big outsiders at 16/5 on Boylesports while the 90 minute draw is an unfancied 3/1 with the same firm.
Head to head: Bayern in the box seat
The two teams were housed in the same Champions League group back in 2019/20, with Bayern Munich triumphing both home and away. The duo also contested two friendly fixtures last summer, with the Germans taking top honours on both occasions.
It’s worth noting that both teams scored in each of those four Bayern Munich victories, making a repeat here an attractive option at 13/10 on Boylesports.
Players to watch: Harry to haunt Spurs?
Harry Kane will come up against Tottenham for the first time since departing the club two years ago. The England skipper looks too short to side with here for an anytime strike at 8/15 but bundling up a Kane goal and a Bayern Munich win will boost the odds to 10/11 on Bet 365.
Dominic Solanke is expected to spearhead Tottenham’s attack on Thursday evening. The former Bournemouth forward is as big as 19/10 on Bet 365 to make the net bulge during this friendly fixture.
Predicted line-ups
Alphonso Davies remains a long-term absentee for Bayern Munich, while Jamal Musiala is also facing a prolonged period on the sidelines after breaking his leg and dislocating his ankle against PSG at the Club World Cup last month.
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min made his final appearance for the club against Newcastle last time out, while James Maddison suffered a serious knee injury during the same contest.
Bayern Munich: Neuer; Boey, Upamecano, Kim, Guerreiro; Kimmich, Goretzka, Bischof; Olise, Kane, Diaz
Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Gray, Sarr; Kudus, Solanke, Johnson
Anything else catch the eye?
Bet 365 have boosted Mohammed Kudus' odds to score from outside of the box to 20/1 and that looks well worthy of longshot material.
The new Spurs forward demonstrated during his time at both Ajax and West Ham that he is capable of producing moments of magic from distance.
Alternatively, Kudus is an 11/4 anytime goalscorer option with the same firm while he is 12/1 to open the scoring.
