ᐉDC United vs Bayern Munich prediction

• Date: 21/07/2022

• Venue: Audi Field (Washington, District of Columbia)

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich begin their pre-season preparations when they take on MLS strugglers DC United at Audi Field.

While the hosts still await a visa for newly appointed boss Wayne Rooney, DC continue to struggle in the MLS with just 1 win in their last 10 outings, while a recent 7:0 hammering at Philadelphia underlines the scale of the task awaiting the former Derby County boss.

Visiting Bayern arrives in the US now without star forward Robert Lewandowski, who is set to finalise a move to Barcelona in the coming days, and it remains to be seen how the Bavarians will operate without their legendary Polish striker.

Bayern endured a miserable pre-season last year, failing to win any of their four friendly fixtures and, going back to the summer of 2021, have won just 1 of their last 7 friendly contests but head coach Nagelsmann will expect a much better showing here.

Goals should be expected, though, with Bayern seeing over 3.5 goals scored in 6 of their last 9 friendlies since 2018. More recently, Bayern saw over 3.5 goals scored in each of their last 5 Bundesliga fixtures.

DC United vs Bayern Munich Betting Tips

Ultimately, it´s hard to make too many solid choices in this fixture with Bayern yet to kick off their campaign and DC in the midst of such a poor run of form. Still, with DC also seeing over 3.5 goals scored in 4 of their last 5 matches, a high-scoring contest looks the only reliable choice for this friendly fixture.

Final Score 2:3
