Tottenham Hotspur supporters will get one last glimpse of their side in action before the curtain rises on the 2025/26 Premier League campaign, as they gear up to face Bayern Munich in the Telekom Cup at the iconic Allianz Arena.

With the new season fast approaching, this clash serves as Spurs’ final tune-up before diving into competitive fixtures. It’s the closing chapter of their summer preparations and a key test against elite opposition.

Their most recent outing saw them settle for a 1-1 stalemate with Newcastle United in South Korea, bringing their Asia tour to a close on level terms.

As for Bayern, the Bundesliga powerhouses enter this friendly in good spirits, having edged past Lyon 2-1 on home soil last weekend. Expect fireworks as both sides look to build momentum ahead of the season opener.

Even with it being a friendly, neither club nor fanbase will want to lose this one, which should make for an exciting game. The Sporting News brings you all the best odds and tips ahead of this clash in Munich.

Here's our tips for this one:

Bayern to win and Both Teams To Score (2.30, Parimatch)

Bayern Munich have historically had the edge over Spurs, and they'll head into this upcoming pre-season showdown brimming with belief. The Bavarian heavyweights are tipped to come out on top once again, but don’t count Tottenham out just yet—we fancy their chances to at least find the back of the net in what could be a lively affair.

Bayern Munich to score 2 or 3 goals (1.96, Parimatch)

Bayern Munich will enjoy the comforts of home in this key pre-season clash as they fine-tune for the Bundesliga kickoff.

Their slick, free-flowing attack could pose serious problems for Spurs, especially with Thomas Frank’s men still finding their rhythm. Tottenham looked shaky at the back against Newcastle, who constantly rotated in the final third, and Bayern are even more lethal in that regard.

Up front, Spurs haven’t quite clicked either, managing just two goals across their last three outings. In contrast, Bayern hit the ground running with a solid two-goal performance against Lyon. Backing Bayern to score 2 or 3 goals feels like a strong call here.
