Bayern to get another clean sheet
Boca Juniors became the first Argentinian side to avoid defeat to a European side in the Club World Cup. Boca also became the first South American team to score multiple goals against European opposition in a FIFA Club World Cup match (including the previous format) since Boca Juniors themselves v Milan in the 2007 final.
Boca’s goals against Benfica seem to be an outlier, and judging on the calibre of their opposition this time, they may have a hard time finding the back of the net. Bayern have kept five clean sheets in their last six matches, and Boca have failed to score in two of their last five. I think Bayern can keep a clean sheet here again.
Tip: Bayern Munich clean sheet @ 5/6 with bet365.
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Boca Juniors do not score a goal by full-time
Olise likes a long shot
Michael Olise has been a standout player for Bayern this season in the Bundesliga. The ex-Crystal Palace man recorded two goals and two assists in a match for the second time in his career against Auckland City (also vs. SV Werder Bremen on 21 September 2024). At this moment, Olise is the only Bayern Munich player with multiple such games since the start of the 2017/18 season.
One of the key ways in which Olise plays is cutting in off the right flank and shooting with his left. We can see from the stats that Olise has taken at least one shot from outside the box in his last eight games. In the most recent Bundesliga season, Olise has taken 28 shots from outside the box, with 12 of those shots being on target. I have no doubt he will try his luck from distance in this game, and at 11/8 at bet365 for it to be on target, it seems it could be a smart bet.
Tip: Michael Olise to have a shot from outside the box on target @ 11/8 with bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Michael Olise has one shot from outside the box that is registered as on target
Expect Bayern to get goals
By saying there will be a clean sheet, then saying there will be goals, I am leaning towards Bayern getting a hat full. And based on their recent results, they easily could. The 10-0 vs Auckland City may be an outlier, but that ruthlessness shows that they can find the net easily. In the five games before they came to the Club World Cup, Bayern scored 16 goals, which is an average of 3.2 per game.
Goals can come from numerous sources too, with five different scorers vs Auckland, and Harry Kane was not one of them. Bet365 has Bayern to score over 2.5 goals at 4/5 and over 3.5 goals at 2/1. Both have a decent chance of coming in, but to play it safe, I would go for over 2.5 goals.
Tip: Bayern Munich to score over 2.5 goals @ 4/5 with bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Bayern Munich score 3 or more goals by full-time
