Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors Prediction and Betting Tips for Friday, June 20, at the Hard Rock Stadium. Bayern Munich will look to secure progression to the knockout stages in their second group match of the FIFA Club World Cup. After an emphatic opening-day performance, the German giants are aiming for back-to-back wins. In this article, you’ll find our expert take on the fixture, along with Club World Cup Predictions from the XpertStats team.
- Bayern Munich routed Auckland City 10-0 in their opening match and are on an eight-game unbeaten run.
- Boca Juniors surrendered a 2-0 lead in a 2-2 draw against Benfica, ending with 10 men.
- Harry Kane is yet to score in the tournament but will lead Bayern’s frontline again.
- Boca will be without key defender Nicolas Figal due to suspension.
Bayern Munich arrive in Miami with momentum after destroying Auckland City 10-0 in their opener, showcasing clinical attacking depth and defensive control. With 31 shots and seven big chances created, Vincent Kompany’s side barely broke a sweat. They’ve now scored 26 goals in their last six matches and kept five clean sheets, underlining their all-around form. Harry Kane is still searching for his first Club World Cup goal, but with Jamal Musiala and Michael Olise on song, Bayern’s offensive output remains potent. A win on Friday could all but confirm their place in the next round, depending on Benfica’s result.
Beyond their firepower, Bayern’s squad depth gives them a clear edge. Key players like Kimmich, Pavlovic, and Coman bring balance and experience, while Upamecano’s expected return to the starting XI could add physicality at the back. Bayern are unbeaten in eight matches, and their recent run includes dominant displays across both domestic and international fixtures. Their consistency, pressing structure, and superior bench strength put them as firm favourites against a Boca side dealing with suspensions and injuries.
Boca Juniors earned plaudits for holding Benfica to a 2-2 draw, though they’ll be frustrated after throwing away a two-goal lead. Their physicality and direct play created early chances, but defensive lapses and indiscipline cost them. The absence of suspended centre-back Nicolas Figal and injured striker Miguel Merentiel weakens both ends of the pitch. Still, Boca’s midfield pair of Battaglia and Belmonte offer grit, and coach Miguel Russo’s side have shown they can rise to big occasions — even if recent form suggests inconsistency.
The Argentine outfit sits second in their domestic league and has scored 10 goals across their last seven games. However, they’ve also conceded seven, highlighting potential vulnerabilities Bayern could exploit. With Boca managing just one win in their last four matches and now forced into a reshuffled backline, they face an uphill battle. The European side’s quality and structure are expected to test Boca’s resolve — and it may not end favourably for the South Americans.

Bayern Munich's attacking prowess was on full display in their 10-0 demolition of Auckland City, with 31 shots and seven big chances. They've now scored 26 goals in their last six matches, averaging over 4.3 per game. Boca Juniors, meanwhile, played out a 2-2 draw with Benfica despite leading 2-0 early on. Their defence struggled under pressure, and they’ll now be without key centre-back Nicolas Figal. With Harry Kane still hunting his first goal of the tournament and Bayern averaging five shots on target per match in their last 11 outings, this game promises attacking action. Boca have scored in six of their last seven and conceded seven during that span, further suggesting both sides can contribute to the goal count. With Bayern’s fluid front three and Boca’s vulnerability in transition, we anticipate plenty of opportunities. Backing Over 2.5 Goals is a logical move given both teams’ attacking and defensive trends.
This match features two sides that are no strangers to physical play. Boca Juniors’ last outing against Benfica ended with 10 men for each team, and Boca alone picked up five yellow cards and one red. They’ve averaged 2.8 cards per match across their last five fixtures, often relying on tactical fouls to slow the tempo. Bayern, while more disciplined, still commit around 10 fouls per game and are not immune to bookings when pressed. The high stakes of this match, combined with Boca’s combative midfield and Bayern’s technical dominance, set the stage for a tense and physical affair. With players like Marcos Rojo and Rodrigo Battaglia likely to feature, tempers may flare. Referees in the Club World Cup have shown a tendency to punish dissent and reckless challenges. Backing Over 2.5 Cards is well supported by recent match trends and the fiery atmosphere expected at the Hard Rock Stadium.
