The club friendly match between Bayern Munich and Monaco will take place at Alpenbauer Sportpark on Monday at 8:30 pm IST.
On Monday, Bayern Munich will take on Monaco in their last pre-season match at Alpenbauer Sportpark before the competitive season kicks off. In their previous games, Thomas Tuchel’s team secured an exciting 4-3 victory against Liverpool, while Monaco faced a defeat against Arsenal in the Emirates Cup, losing in a penalty shootout, both matches taking place on Wednesday.
Bayern Munich’s pre-season has been satisfactory, although they have yet to secure their top target Harry Kane. The team began preparations with a resounding 27-0 win over FC Rottach-Egern, though the weak opposition dampens its significance. Their only loss came against Manchester City during their Japan tour, with subsequent victories against Kawasaki (1-0) and Liverpool (4-3). In the Liverpool match, Bayern overcame deficits of 2-0 and 3-2, ultimately winning 4-3 with late goals from Josip Stanisic and Frans Kratzig. The upcoming DFL-Supercup, six days after facing Monaco, adds urgency for coach Tuchel to fine-tune his squad before competitive play commences.
Similar to Bayern, this match serves as the final warm-up for Monaco before the Ligue 1 kick-off under new coach Adi Hutter. Despite three pre-season wins, Monaco’s momentum was disrupted by back-to-back losses, including a penalty shootout defeat to Arsenal in the Emirates Cup. After testing themselves against a strong English team, Hutter’s squad faces Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich next, aiming for a strong performance ahead of the league’s start. This marks Monaco’s eighth friendly, potentially giving them an edge in fitness compared to Bayern, who have played four matches leading up to Monday’s game. The impact on the result remains uncertain, whether it’s influenced by fitness or Bayern’s superior quality.
Bayern Munich probable starting lineup: Sommer, Mazraoui, Pavard, Kim, Davies, Kimmich, Laimer, Sane, Musiala, Gnabry, Tel
Monaco probable starting lineup: Kohn, Matsima, Maripan, Salisu, Vanderson, Fofana, Camara, Henrique, Minamino, Volland, Ben Yedder
