Bayern Munich vs Auckland City Match Overview – 15.06.2025
The Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are set to debut in the Club World Cup in a game from Group C of the competition. Vincent Kompany’s team is looking to achieve its first win in the tournament since the format’s change – the Bavarians are one of the favourites to take the gold here.
Auckland City, on the other hand, are accepting their role as underdogs. Nobody believes the Navy Blues can trouble Kompany’s boys, but it’s football – sometimes surprises happen.
Bayern Munich News & Analysis
Bayern Munich are the Bundesliga champions once again. Die Roten overpowered Bayer Leverkusen, winning the gold in Vincent Kompany’s first season at the club. The Bavarians lost just two of their league games, scoring an impressive 99 goals in 34 games. 26 of them were scored by Harry Kane – Bayern’s main weapon in the attack.
There are some good news for Bayern Munich before this game. Both Jamal Musiala and Dayot Upamecano are available for selection, so Kompany could use them. Upamecano’s presence will strengthen Bayern’s defence, while Musiala’s creativity is invaluable for Die Roten.
Except for Musiala, Michael Olise and Harry Kane are the main attacking weapons of the German champions. The French international made some amazing contributions for the team in his first season, while Kane is not a player who needs any introduction. Both of them are expected to start against Auckland.
Auckland City News & Analysis
Participating in New Zealand’s Northern League, Auckland City are one of the Club World Cup’s underdogs. The Navy Blues, coached by Paul Posa, are not a team that can be compared to teams like Bayern. They can still try to hurt them, though – everyone underestimating them is their biggest advantage.
Most of Auckland City’s players are local, but there are some foreigners in the squad as well, such as Spain’s Gerard Garriga, Kosovo’s Regont Murati, Japan’s Kentaro Ozaki, China’s Zhou Tong, Colombia’s Jerson Lagos and Ireland’s Dylan Connolly.
The 29-year-old striker Angus Kilkolly is Auckland City’s main attacking weapon. With 35 league goals in 80 games played, Kilkolly will be one of the biggest threats for Bayern’s defence.
