Bayern Munich will kick off their summer 2026 friendly campaign against Wehen Wiesbaden on July 25, 2026, at 20:30. Although Bayern's squad may not be at its peak due to late preparations following the World Cup, their class and depth of talent are likely to give them a significant advantage over their opponents.

Wehen Wiesbaden has been gearing up for the new season with a series of mixed results. They secured a remarkable 20-1 victory against TuS Medenbach and followed it up with a 1-0 win over Homburg and a 2-0 win against Fagiano Okayama. However, they faced a setback with a 0-2 loss to Liefering, which highlighted their vulnerabilities, particularly against teams with fast-paced play. While Wehen has shown some promising defensive organization and a decent ability to apply pressure on the flanks, they may struggle against Bayern's superior technical skills and pace.

As Bayern Munich begins their pre-season, coach Vincent Kompany is likely to rotate his squad, managing the fitness of key players. Nonetheless, even with some rotation, Bayern's depth means they possess game-changers across all positions. The key to the match will be how effectively Bayern can maintain their pressing intensity and ball movement after the break. If they dominate the midfield early on, Wehen will likely be forced to defend for most of the match.

The most probable outcome is a comfortable win for Bayern, but Wehen could find opportunities to score, especially through set pieces or capitalizing on any mistakes made by Bayern's younger players. In their last five matches, Wehen has averaged two goals per game, while Bayern has been prolific, averaging 3.6 goals per match.

In terms of corner kicks, Bayern averaged approximately 6.35 corners per match in the Bundesliga last season, and against lower-tier opponents, they typically enjoy significant possession, leading to many blocked shots. Wehen may earn corners through long balls or counterattacks, but the majority of the pressure will come from Bayern.

Disciplinary actions are expected to be minimal, as this is a friendly match. Both teams are likely to prioritize maintaining rhythm and avoiding heavy challenges. However, Wehen might resort to tactical fouls when stretched by Bayern's speed.

In terms of predictions, the expected scoreline is Wehen 1-3 Bayern Munich. Wehen will field their strongest lineup, while Bayern's squad may see some key players, such as Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry, potentially sidelined.
