Tottenham vs Bayern Munich: Preview, predictions and lineups
- Tottenham host Bayern Munich in their final pre-season friendly this Saturday
- Two sides faced off in South Korea a week ago where Bayern ran out 2-1 victors
- Harry Kane in line to feature at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
It's round two of Tottenham Hotspur's pre-season battle with Bayern Munich this Saturday as Ange Postecoglou's side welcome the German giants to north London.
Spurs already faced the Bavarians in South Korea at the beginning of the month, a game they lost 2-1 despite an exquisite strike from Pedro Porro. Goals from Gabriel Vidovic and Leon Goretzka inflicted the first defeat of Tottenham's pre-season campaign.
The Lilywhites will be seeking revenge this weekend in what will be their final match before the 2024/25 Premier League season kicks off. Postecoglou's side will have nine days between Saturday's clash and their domestic opener against Leicester City.
Meanwhile, Bayern have been busy this summer. After appointing Vincent Kompany in the dugout, they have spent big on Hiroki Ito, Michael Olise and Joao Palhinha, with more activity likely to come as they look to reclaim their Bundesliga crown.

Tottenham team news
Spurs are likely to field a similar lineup to the one that tasted defeat to Bayern in Seoul, even if there are one or two alterations. Destiny Udogie is still sidelined with injury but the likes of Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero could return.
Richarlison is also struggling with injury at present and may be leaving Spurs in the near future. Dejan Kulusevski has been leading the line in a false nine role during pre-season and may continue there until Tottenham sign a new striker - perhaps Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth.
Tottenham predicted lineup vs Bayern Munich
Tottenham predicted lineup vs Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Dragusin, Van de Ven, Emerson; Bissouma, Gray; Johnson, Maddison, Son; Kulusevski.
Bayern Munich team news
It's been confirmed by Bayern that Harry Kane will return to north London this weekend and is in line to play at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time since his Spurs exit last summer. Eric Dier, who featured in Bayern's recent 2-1 win over the Lilywhites, will also face his former employers.
Bayern do have a number of absentees for Saturday's trip to London though, with summer signing Olise on Olympic duty with France and Ito sidelined for the foreseeable future. Leroy Sane is also a doubt for the weekend encounter.
Bayern Munich predicted lineup vs Tottenham
Bayern Munich predicted lineup vs Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Boey, Kim, Dier, Guerreiro; Palhinha, Goretzka; Gnabry, Muller, Tel; Kane.
Tottenham vs Bayern Munich score prediction
Bayern were largely the better side when the two teams clashed last week and it's hard to look beyond them outclassing Spurs again this Saturday. Kane could well prove the difference-maker against his old side.
Tottenham have shown plenty of quality going forward during pre-season but have struggled defensively, with their high-energy pressing potentially leaving them too exposed against a Bayern side blessed with pace and willing runners.
Prediction: Tottenham 1-2 Bayern Munich
