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.
