MATCH PREVIEW:
Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich are winless in their pre-season having lost 2 and drawn one of the 3 matches played. Their last being a 2-0 loss to Monchengladbach.
Wolf and Wentzel scored for the German side to keep the wait on for Naglesmann’s first win as Bayern boss.
On the other hand, Napoli have won both their pre-season matches against Anaunia and Pro Vercelli scoring 13 goals and conceding none.
Osimhen’s first half goal made the difference as Napoli beat Pro Vercelli 1-0.
This is the final fixture for either side in pre-season as they begin their respective Bundesliga and Serie A campaigns next month.
Bayern are the holders and with the new boss coming in, need to strike first as title contenders.
With a host of talented and quality players, Bayern will once again come into the Bundesliga as top favorites.
Napoli will face newly promoted Venezia in their opening match of the season at home.
Both sides last met in the Audi Cup 2017 where Napoli triumphed over the Germans 2-0 through Koulibaly and Giaccherini’s goals.
Line-ups
Bayern Munich:
Hoffmann, Stanisic, Upamecano, Arrey-Mbi, Richards, Booth, Rhein, Gnabry, Zirkzee, Sieb, Choupo-Moting
Napoli:
Contini, Malcuit, Manolas, Koulibaly, Rui, Lobotka, Demme, Elmas, Politano, Ounas and Osimhen.
Prediction: Bayern 1-2 Napoli
Bayern do not have a core of their players back from the long break as yet and we expect them to continue fielding a slightly depleted squad.
With Napoli’s good form coming into this one, we foresee them get the victory.
