World - FIFA Club World Cup
Prediction :
Bayern Munich -4
German Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich’s chase for a third FIFA Club World Cup title will see them start against rank amateurs Auckland City from New Zealand. This match will be the first of Group C of the campaign to be played at the TQL Stadium in Cincinnati on Sunday, while Boca Juniors and Benfica are the other teams in the group. Our prediction is for the Bavarians to win with a handicap of -4 against the Navy Blues.
Bayern qualified for the tournament as the best-ranked eligible UEFA team and are making their third appearance in this competition. Auckland qualified from the Oceania region as the best OFC Champions League winners.
Having regained the Bundesliga title, Bayern are making a comeback on the Club World Cup scene with some impressive results. The Bavarians ended the season undefeated in seven (W4, D3), including four wins in the last five.
They have a rich history in the tournament too, having won the title on both the previous occasions. With all those four wins coming with a clean sheet, Auckland have a tough ask on hand.
The New Zealanders are in their 13th Club World Cup appearance but have lost 12 of the 17 matches (W3, D2, L12) at this stage. That leaves them vulnerable to another heavy defeat.

Our Bayern Munich vs Auckland City Prediction

Just like in this match where Bayern are one of the richest football clubs in the world, while Auckland City are no more than an amateur team. The Bavarians are likely to display their scoring prowess, as they won 13 domestic league games last season by a margin of three or more goals. Our Bayern Munich vs Auckland City prediction is Bayern Munich -4.
