Why bet on Bayern Munich?

Right now, Bayern Munich and Manchester City are the best teams in the world. The UEFA Champions League reigning champions had no trouble to beat Al-Ahly in the Semifinals (2-0); Robert Lewandowski scored twice.

Hans-Dieter Flick (manager) took no risks and all usual Bayern Munich starting players played, including goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and center back Jerome Boateng, who’s in the middle of a tough personal situation.

That victory extended their Bundesliga hot streak. Bayern Munich have won their last five Bundesliga games, and they have scored 58 goals (best among the top five European soccer leagues).

Bayern Munich have too much offensive power thanks to Robert Lewandowski, Serge Gnabry, Thomas Muller and Kingsley Coman. And that’s not all, because they have Leroy Sane and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting coming from the bench.

You can expect the German side to take the reins of the game from the beginning. They’ll try to score as soon as possible in order to control every aspect of the game, including Tigres morale.

Why Bet on Tigres?

It’s hard to make a compelling case for Tigres, but anything can happen in a soccer game.

Tigres’ road to the grand finale was a little bit harder. First, they beat Ulsan Hyundai 2-1 thanks to Andre-Pierre Gignac, who scored twice; then they beat Palmeiras 1-0 with another Gignac goal.

In fact, Gignac is the tournament’s top scorer and the potential biggest problem for Bayern Munich’s defensive unit.

Right now, Tigres are in eighth place of Liga MX; they focused all their attention and efforts in the FIFA Club World Cup, and that’s why we cannot rule them out. Also, they have several players who used to play in Europe, including Carlos Salcedo and Javier Aquino.

You can expect Tigres to play mostly in their field, waiting for a counterattack opportunity. Ricardo Ferretti is a very experienced manager and he has led Tigres to three domestic titles in the last eight tournaments.

Discarded Players and Projected Line-ups

Bayern Munich have several players out due to injury (Javi Martinez, Tanguy Nianzou, Armindo Sieb and Alexander Nubel), but nothing to worry about.

Their expected lineup is Manuel Neuer, Alphonso Davies, David Alaba, Jerome Boateng, Benjamin Pavard, Joshua Kimmich, Marc Roca, Serge Gnabry, Thomas Muller, Kingsley Coman and Robert Lewandowski.

All Tigres players are ready to go. Their expected lineup is Nahuel Guzman, Jesus Duenas, Carlos Salcedo, Diego Reyes, Luis Rodriguez, Javier Aquino, Rafael Carioca, Guido Pizarro, Luis Quinones, Carlos Gonzalez and Andre-Pierre Gignac.

Pick: Bayern Munich to win

Over/Under: 3 goals

Also, two of the best scorers in the world will be on the field; Robert Lewandowski and Andre-Pierre Gignac.

Pick: Over 3 goals
