Grasshoppers vs Bayern Munich Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Pre-season friendly 2025

The Bavarians dominated the previous confrontation between these clubs.

Grasshoppers are all set to host Bayern Munich in a pre-season club friendly game. This is going to be an interesting fixture between these two sides, which will take place at the Stadion Letzigrund.

Grasshopper Club Zurich will be at home, and despite that, they will be under immense pressure here. Their pre-season was below average, and they have also not been able to begin their season on a positive note. The team has lost both of their first two league games of the 2025-26 season.

After their exit from the FIFA Club World Cup, Bayern Munich made a strong comeback and have won both of their pre-season games. This is going to be their third club friendly before they meet VfB Stuttgart in the DFL-Supercup final. The Bundesliga giants are coming in after dominating Tottenham Hotspur in their previous match.

Players to Watch

Luke Plange (Grasshopper)

Luke Plange scored an important goal for Grasshopper-Club Zurich in the first league game of the 2025-26 season, but it was not enough to get his team through. The 22-year-old will be looking to step up as they next take on the German giants. It will be interesting to see how they perform against a top club.

Michael Olise (Bayern Munich)

The 23-year-old Frenchman scored a brace for Bayern Munich in their first pre-season game against Lyon. Even though Michael Olise failed to score in his last game for the Bundesliga side, his influence on the attacking front was good. He can lead the attack from the right and can create plays for his fellow teammates.
