Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors prediction: WORLD: FIFA Club World Cup betting tips on match 2025-06-20 01:00.
[p]After making history on matchday one by beating Auckland City 10-0, Bayern Munich take on a Boca Juniors side who are looking to cause a seismic shock to follow up their 2-2 draw against Benfica on matchday one. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich had no such troubles on matchday one, making extremely light work of amateur side Auckland City in their opening CWC fixture, running out 10-0 winners. Unsurprisingly, that was the biggest margin of victory in CWC history and now Bayern will look to put Boca to the sword to extend their unbeaten run across all competitions to nine games (W5, D3). Doing so with a victory here will see them take a giant stride towards winning Group C. [/p]
[p]Taking part in just their second CWC after falling to AC Milan in the 2007 final, Boca Juniors made a strong start in their first fixture this time around. A 2-2 draw against Benfica left a slightly bitter taste though, as the Argentines squandered a 2-0 lead before their misery was compounded by a pair of red cards in the closing stages. That will leave the South Americans short both on manpower and confidence heading into this clash, especially as they’ve now failed to win any of their last five matches inside 90 minutes (D3, L2).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Boca Juniors and Bayern Munich have met once before in a competitive setting, with the German side winning 1-0 after extra time in the final of the 2001 Intercontinental Cup. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Across all competitions for Europe’s traditional top-five leagues this calendar year, only PSG, Barcelona and Real Madrid have netted more goals than Bayern Munich (76). [/p]
[p]Bayern recorded at least five shots on target in each of their last 11 matches. [/p]
[p]Only four of Boca’s last 12 matches saw both teams score. [/p]
[p]Each of Boca’s four goals across their last five games were recorded before half-time. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Bayern players ran riot in their opening match, with Jamal Musiala netting a 17 minute hat-trick from the bench, becoming the first Bayern substitute to score a hat-trick in all competitions since Robert Lewandowski in September 2015. Despite only coming on as a substitute in their opening CWC outing, Tomás Belmonte still led his Boca Juniors teammates in passes (26/31) and chances created (three). [/p]
[p]Bayern Munich have a near full-strength squad available to them. Boca will have to do without Ander Herrera and Jorge Figal, both of whom were sent off against Benfica.[/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Since the start of the 2024/25 season, Bayern have scored 2.84 goals on average across their 52 competitive matches, so backing them to score 2+ goals for a ninth consecutive fixture could be wise. [/p]
