Correct score prediction: Bayern Munich 2-1 Inter Milan

Team News

Carlo Ancelotti is still without Confederations Cup participants like Arturo Vidal, Josh Kimmich, Niklas Sule, and Sebastian Rudy here. Arjen Robben and Fabian Benko, along with Manuel Neuer are also out, but they are dealing with injuries currently.

Key Man

Thomas Muller looks set to right the wrongs of his previous campaign for Bayern as he is hitting heights in preseason now. Two goals against Chelsea will have back in a good mood, and both his club and his country will be glad to see him continue that type of form throughout the course of the season proper.

Team Form

Bayern have three wins, a loss, and a draw in their last five matches. They won 4-1 over Freiburg to end the Bundesliga season before winning 1-9 at Erlanger-Bruck to begin preseason. They then somewhat uncharacteristically lost on penalties to Arsenal after a 1-1 draw in the ICC before losing 0-4 against Milan in the same competition. On Tuesday, they faced Chelsea and they won 2-3.

Bayern Munich Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Team News

Luciano Spalletti is the new man tasked with taking Inter back into the upper echelon of European football, and the former Roma manager will have plenty of changes to make as Melo and Caprari have left, while Perisic and Jovetic are likely to be sold off to the highest bidders after poor campaigns with them. He has signed Milan Skriniair, however, so that is one man to help launch the new era at Inter.

Key Man

Captain Mauro Icardi continues to be the man to watch for the Nerazzuri, despite being linked to moves elsewhere continually. The Argentine has been a huge scorer in past seasons, and he looks like he must be on song for them to truly progress to the top levels again.

Team Form

Inter have three wins, a draw, and a loss in their last five matches. They finished Serie A with a 5-2 win over Udinese before beating Wattens in a friendly 2-1. They followed that with a 1-2 loss at home to Nuremberg before they drew 1-1 with Schalke. In their first ICC match on Monday, they won 1-0 over Olympique Lyon.

Inter Milan Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Inter Milan are trying to build themselves back up to a level that is more acceptable, and that is going to simply take more time for them. Bayern are one of the big dogs in world football still, and because of that and their record against Inter of late, we see them overcoming their potential fatigue to gain victory in this ICC match.

Bayern have dominated Inter in friendlies the past two preseasons, winning 5-1 on aggregate.
