Bayern Munich vs Liverpool score prediction
Liverpool were excellent against the Foxes and will take a ton of confidence into Wednesday's friendly. However, Bayern will be a considerable step up from their previous opponents.
Tuchel has so far focussed on shuffling his pack and ensuring every member is up to speed. It could get a little more serious on Wednesday, with Bayern playing just one more time before they take on RB Leipzig in the DFL-Supercup.
The Reds' summer form would suggest they're primed for another victory over the German giants, who haven't quite hit top gear.
