Liverpool vs. Bayern Munich – Prediction, team news, forecast and lineups.

On Wednesday at noon, Liverpool and Bayern Munich square off in a thrilling friendly at the Singapore National Stadium.

Recently, Jurgen Klopp’s team destroyed Leicester City 4-0 in Kallang, and the German champions finished their visit to Japan with a 1-0 victory over Kawasaki Frontale.

MATCH PREVIEW

Two months after defeating Leicester with three unanswered goals at the King Power, Liverpool’s dominance over their Championship rivals was still evident in Singapore, where a first-half barrage put the Reds on their way to a convincing victory.

Before the half, Darwin Nunez, Bobby Clark, and Diogo Jota all made the net tremble, and in the second half, rising Scottish winger Ben Doak added his name to the scoresheet as Liverpool continued their remarkable streak of scoring four goals in every preseason match this summer.

The Reds also scored four goals in their two exhibition matches against Greuther Furth and Karlsruher SC in Germany, though they were forced to settle for a 4-4 draw against the latter. However, few will be expecting another four-goal outburst against the defending champions of Germany.

Though Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, recent additions to the Liverpool engine room, are already settling in, talks over a transfer for Romeo Lavia are reportedly ongoing in the background as Fabinho gets ready to join Jordan Henderson in Saudi Arabia, according to Klopp.

The thrilling match on Wednesday will be Liverpool’s final friendly away from English soil before they finish their summer exhibition schedule against Darmstadt 98 at Deepdale on August 7. Klopp’s team will then try to give Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino a rough welcome back to life in England during their Premier League opener on August 13.

Although Liverpool’s preseason goalscoring achievements are commendable, the Reds’ 12 goals are dwarfed by Bayern’s opening 27-0 demolition of FC Rottach-Egern, a ninth-tier team. Thomas Tuchel’s team has since struggled to establish their dominance in a pair of Japan-based matches.

In fact, the Bavarians fell short in a 2-1 loss to Manchester City on July 26, three days before a Tokyo match with J1 League heavyweights Kawasaki Frontale, where Bayern’s only victory came from a second-half goal by Josip Stanisic.

Tuchel bemoaned his team’s pre-season exhaustion as the reason for their lackluster performance, but the German champions have not had much time to rest up as they prepare to fly to Singapore for their fourth exhibition match of the summer.

Bayern’s final two preseason opponents will be Monaco and Weinbeisser Kaltern. The Bundesliga champions may or may not start their latest title defense with Harry Kane leading the way as club executives work to placate ruthless Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy.

Liverpool and Bayern have played nine competitive matches, with five ending in draws. However, Liverpool most recently defeated Bayern 3-1 in the second leg of a Champions League last-16 matchup.

After a brief absence due to an ankle injury, Szoboszlai returned for Liverpool’s recent thrashing of Leicester, but Stefan Bajcetic, former Bayern lynchpin Thiago Alcantara, and Conor Bradley were all left at home to continue their recoveries.

Team news

Given the quality of the opposition and the fact that no new injuries were discovered over the weekend, Klopp should start a strong lineup, forcing Clark, despite his memorable goal against the Foxes, to accept a bench position.

In addition, Alisson Becker might reclaim the goalie’s gloves, allowing Caoimhin Kelleher to return to the dugout. In the attack, Luis Diaz might make a comeback to support Mohamed Salah and Nunez, the latter of whom has four goals in as many friendlies.

Meanwhile, Sadio Mane, a former Liverpool player, will not be playing for Bayern on Wednesday because he is on the verge of signing a lucrative contract with the Saudi Arabian team Al-Nassr. Thiago will also miss the opportunity to play against his former team.

Mane’s impending departure will further weaken an attack already without the injured Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (knee) and Thomas Muller (hip), as well as Manuel Neuer and newly acquired Raphael Guerreiro, who will both miss out due to leg issues.

Kim Min-jae, who made his debut for the German champions in their victory over Kawasaki, will continue to guard Yann Sommer in the Bayern goal despite persistent rumors of a possible transfer to Inter Milan.

Starting lineup options for Liverpool include:. Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Mac Allister, Jones, Szoboszlai, Salah, Nunez, and Diaz are some of the players.

starting lineups for Bayern Munich could include:.
Sommer; Pavard; Kim; De Ligt; Davies; Kimmich; Goretzka; Sane; Musiala; Coman; Tel.

We say; Liverpool 3 – 1Bayern Munich 

Liverpool may enter the game on Wednesday as the favorites because Bayern’s team is both injured and worn out, and their preparations may be hampered by the lengthy flight from Japan.

Klopp’s team should take advantage of Bayern’s recent struggles to close out their Singapore trip with a stunning victory, even though another four-goal performance might not be possible.
