Player(s) to watch:
- Harry Kane was the top scorer for Bayern Munich in multiple competitions this season. The England international will play an important role in the attacking front for the Bavarians. Kane knows how to find spaces in the final third, and his goal-scoring abilities are well known. He is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence.
- Myer Bevan is going to play a crucial part in the final third for the New Zealand Regional Leagues’ side, Auckland City. They have shown some decent performances in the past; however, we expect them to struggle in this instance. Myer Bevan will have to step up here to give his side a chance against the Bavarians.
