Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich and treble winners Manchester City lock horns for a pre-season friendly at the National Stadium in Tokyo on Wednesday.

The Citizens came out on top in their last friendly encounter with the Bavarian giants, with Erling Haaland netting the only goal in a slender 1-0 victory in the USA 12 months ago.

While the result is of little importance to either side, a statement friendly victory would not go amiss for either Guardiola or Tuchel coupled with a positive team performance at this stage of pre-season.

Man City have got the better of Bayern in recent meetings, in both competitive and non-competitive fixtures, and should they field a plethora of star names for large spells of Wednesday's contest, they should do enough to come out on top once again in Tokyo.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

周三，德甲冠军拜仁慕尼黑和三冠王曼城在东京国家体育场进行季前赛友谊赛。

公民队在上一次与巴伐利亚豪门的友谊赛中取得了领先，12个月前在美国以1-0的微弱优势取胜，哈兰德打进了唯一的进球。

虽然结果对双方都不重要，但对瓜迪奥拉和图切尔来说，一场友谊赛的胜利，加上球队在季前赛的积极表现，都不会有什么不好。

曼城在最近的比赛中，无论是在竞争中还是在非竞争中，都战胜了拜仁，如果他们在周三的比赛中派出了大量的球星，他们应该会在东京再次登顶。
