Bayern Munich vs. Tottenham expected lineups, team news, injuries

Harry Kane featured against Lyon, and Tottenham's all-time leading goalscorer is expected to play against his former club.

Former Crystal Palace star Michael Olise scored twice against the French giants and could combine in the front three with Kane and new arrival Luis Diaz. During his time at Liverpool, Diaz scored five goals in eight games against Tottenham, including three last season.

Kane's long-time strike partner Heung-min Son bade farewell to Tottenham ahead of his move to LAFC on their Asian Tour. James Maddison is facing a spell on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury during the draw with Newcastle, while Dejan Kulusevski remains out with a knee injury of his own.

Dominic Solanke hasn't featured since the opening pre-season game against Reading due to an ankle injury, but Tottenham boss Thomas Frank says he "should be fit".

Paulinha could face his parent club after sealing a season-long loan switch from Bayern.

Bayern Munich vs. Tottenham Hotspur Bet Builder tips

Here's some good value Bet Builder options for this game

Bayern to win and Both Teams To Score (11/8, Bet365)

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 win & Harry Kane Anytime Goalscorer (10/11, Bet365)

Harry Kane is set for an emotional reunion as he lines up against former club Tottenham for the very first time since his move two years ago. While backing the England captain to find the net anytime feels a bit too skinny at 8/15, there’s more bang for your buck if you pair a Kane goal with a Bayern Munich victory — Bet365 has that combo priced at a more tempting 10/11.
