Grasshopper Zurich vs Bayern Munich Preview, Odds and Predictions – 12/08/2025

Bayern Munich face their final pre-season challenge on Tuesday, 12 August, when they take on Grasshopper Club Zurich at the Letzigrund Stadium. For Vincent Kompany’s side, this fixture represents the last opportunity to fine-tune tactics and sharpen match fitness ahead of Saturday’s Franz Beckenbauer Supercup against Stuttgart.

The German champions have enjoyed a strong summer so far, with convincing wins building momentum for their Bundesliga title defence. All eyes will once again be on Luis Díaz, Bayern’s high-profile summer arrival from Liverpool. Facing one of Switzerland’s most historic clubs, it will provide a competitive test for Bayern.

Grasshopper Zurich vs Bayern Munich Preview

Bayern Munich

The Bavarian giants have looked sharp in recent outings, following up a 2-1 win over Lyon with a commanding 4-0 victory over Tottenham in the Telekom Cup. This will be Bayern’s third friendly meeting with Grasshopper, having drawn 0-0 back in 2007 before claiming a 4-0 win last summer through goals from Michael Olise, Harry Kane, Mathys Tel and Thomas Muller. Kompany is expected to rotate his squad but still field a strong XI to maintain momentum heading into competitive action.

Grasshopper Club Zurich

Grasshopper are already underway in their Swiss Super League campaign but only picked up their first point of the season in last weekend’s draw away to Servette. Once a dominant force in Swiss football, the club’s last major trophy came in the 2013 Swiss Cup. Notably, Grasshopper have struggled to finish in the top half of the table for the past seven seasons.

Now under the ownership of MLS side LAFC, Grasshopper are aiming to rebuild their fortunes both on and off the pitch. Tuesday’s clash offers a valuable test against world-class opposition and the team will look to frustrate Bayern while displaying their own attacking intent in front of a home crowd.

Grasshopper Zurich vs Bayern Munich Over/Under Goals Prediction:

Over 4.5 Goals @+105 as per BetMGM: Bayern Munich’s attacking depth looks frightening, especially after putting four past a strong Tottenham side in their last outing. Given the significant gulf in quality between the two teams, goals should flow freely, making this a strong pick for over 4.5 total goals.

Over 3.5 Total Goals by Bayern Munich @ -137 as per BetMGM: With the same reasoning as above, Bayern’s firepower should overwhelm Grasshopper Zurich. Kompany’s side will want to wrap up pre-season with an emphatic win and this should see them comfortably surpass 3.5 team goals on their own.

Result Prediction

Bayern Munich to Win and Both Teams to Score @+155 as per BetMGM: Bayern’s form is impressive, and they’re expected to dominate here. However, Grasshopper Zurich, already in the middle of their domestic season, might grab a consolation goal especially in the second half when Kompany likely rotates his squad. This makes the Win + BTTS market an appealing value pick.

Grasshopper Zurich vs Bayern Munich Match Predictions

Bayern Munich will be eager to maintain their winning momentum ahead of their upcoming domestic campaign. Bayern’s recent scoring spree suggests that the Switzerland based club will be in for a tough test. Given the offensive firepower of Bayern Munich and Grasshopper Zurich’s weak defence, it points towards a big win for the German side here.

Score Prediction: Grasshopper Zurich 1-4 Bayern Munich
