In an interesting preseason duel, Tottenham and Bayern will play the 2024 Coupang Play Series in South Korea, in a match that will feature two stars from the Asian country such as Heung-min Son and Min-jae Kim.
The Spurs are one of the teams with the most preseason games and are coming off a win over the K-League All-Star team.
Meanwhile, Bayern had a couple of games against German teams from lower leagues and travels to Asia without some of its stars, such as Harry Kane.

Why Bet on Tottenham?
Undoubtedly, 2023/24 was not a good season for Tottenham. In addition to failing to win titles, they finished fifth in the Premier League and did not qualify for the next Champions, having to settle for the Europa League.
The team’s market has not been good, as they lost a great player such as the Danish Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and their incorporations have been more forward-looking, although it was a costly investment: they brought in two 18-year-olds, the Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall (Djugardens) for 10 million euros and the English defender Archie Gray (Leeds United) for 41.3 million euros.
They played four games in July and won them all: 5-1 to Hearts, 2-0 to QPR, 3-2 to Vissel Kobe, and 4-1 to K-League All Stars. The star has been Son, scoring three goals and being the most chanted and mobbed by the fans in his homeland.
But in terms of soccer, Bayern Munich will be the first strong test (as far as a friendly can be) for Ange Postecoglou’s team, which still needs some reinforcements, especially in attack.
Why Bet on Bayern?
Bayern München reinforced in a big way with players that shined last season in their clubs in search of regaining the Bundesliga dominance since last year they were outwitted by Bayer Leverkusen and their perfect season.
Joao Palhinha, Hiroki Ito, and Michael Olise are the three big additions to the team. However, the latter is at the Olympic Games with France and is still some time away from action, and the worst news is that of Ito, who broke his foot in the last friendly and will be out of action for a prolonged period. That is, only the Portuguese will be taken into account in this tour.
But that’s not the end of it. The German giants, who have Vincent Kompany as their coach for the first time, are also negotiating the signings of Jonathan Tah, Désiré Doué, Dani Olmo, Fabián Ruiz, and Xavi Simons, although the latter seems likely to stay at Leipzig. In other words, Bayern is on fire after last season, where they failed to win any titles, and this season they want to sweep all before them.
In the friendlies, they managed to crush FC Rottach-Egern 14-1 as usual in a match that has become a regular fixture every year but then drew 1-1 with FC Duren of the German fourth division, which left a lot to be desired.
As we already said, Harry Kane did not travel, so we will have to wait a little longer to see the duel between the striker and his former club.
Final Betting Analysis: Tottenham vs. Bayern
The last time these two teams met was on December 11, 2019, for the Champions League and Bayern won 3-1 with goals from Coman, Müller, and Coutinho, while Sessegnon scored for Tottenham.
It will be an entertaining game in a full stadium that, more than the match, wants to see its two stars. It will be evenly matched, as Bayern is still not as oiled as Tottenham, and we think that will be paramount for the English to takethe win in this international friendly. We’ll go for a 3-2.
