SlipsTips shares a Bet Builder ahead of Bayern Munich’s clash with Boca Juniors at the Club World Cup in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors (Saturday, 02:00)
Seeking to make it two wins from two at the Club World Cup, Bayern Munich meet Boca Juniors at the Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday morning.
Vincent Kompany’s side cruised to victory in their opening game of the competition, crushing part-timers Auckland City 10-0 in a one-sided Group C clash last Sunday.
As for Boca Juniors, they blew a two-goal lead in what was a bad-tempered 2-2 draw with Benfica on matchday one.
Over 1 Bayern Munich Goal
I’ll get the Bet Builder underway by backing Bayern Munich to score a minimum of two goals. As already mentioned, the German giants filled their boots on matchday one, so they will come into this contest in high spirits. While Bayern can expect a much sterner test from Boca Juniors, they carry the necessary attacking threat to score at least a couple of goals.
Kompany’s side hit multiple goals in 27 of their 34 matches en route to the Bundesliga title, including 11 of their 17 matches away from home. That doesn’t bode well for a Boca Juniors team that conceded twice during their aforementioned 2-2 draw with Benfica last time out.
Harry Kane to Score Anytime
While Auckland City somehow managed to keep Harry Kane quiet on matchday one, I’m prepared to look beyond that here by backing the England captain to open up his Club World Cup account at the second attempt. The Bayern Munich goalgetter will be extra motivated to get off the mark on matchday two and he should be presented with ample opportunity to do so against a Boca Juniors backline that is far from watertight.
Kane has racked up a remarkable 82 goals across his two seasons in Bavaria, not to mention he has become England's all-time record goalscorer during that time. Thus, it’s surely only a matter of time before Kane gets up and running at the Club World Cup.
Over 0 Boca Junior Cards
I'll conclude the Bet Builder by backing Boca Juniors to collect a minimum of one card. A lack of discipline cost Boca Juniors dearly on matchday one, with Miguel Russo’s men receiving two red cards against Benfica, albeit one of those was issued to Ander Herrera who was dismissed from the bench. On top of that, the Buenos Aires-based club also collected a couple of yellow cards during their opening match of the competition.
Now up against a superior calibre of opposition in the shape of Bayern Munich, Boca may have no choice but to make use of the game's dark arts. It's also worth noting that the South American heavyweights have averaged 2.88 yellow cards per game domestically this season.
