As expected, Bayern Munich had an easy path to the FIFA Club World Cup Final. The European giants are coming off a somewhat uneventful 2-0 win vs. Al Ahly and are favored big to win the competition, although they will be forced to play without star defender Jerome Boateng due to the tragical and sudden passing of his ex-girlfriend. On the other side of the pitch, they’ll have Mexican side Tigres UANL, the team that surprisingly beat Palmeiras to become the first CONCACAF club to reach the tournament’s ultimate stage.
The Bavarians should have no trouble beating Tigres at Education City Stadium. At the end of the day, they’re one of the most overpowered teams in the world and not many other clubs could keep up with them on a title-defining match.
Should they win, they’d emulate what Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona did back in 2009, as they’d win their sixth title of the season after completely trashing their opposition in the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal, Supercup, UEFA Supercup, and UEFA Champions League.
The Mexicans, on the other side, are looking to shock the world with a win on Thursday. They’re currently sitting at the 8th spot on their domestic competition, but anything can happen with Andre Pierre-Gignac leading the way for them.
