Prices are correct at the time of publication but subject to change. Kick off times vary and are listed on your bookmakers coupon.

 

The 00:00 kick off on Saturday is the game between Los Angeles and Esperance, two sides who lost their opening matches in Group D by a 2-0 scoreline to Chelsea and Flamengo respectively. LA are 9/10 favourites to win the match with the draw at 5/2 and Esperance at 3/1 but we will let this game go through to the wicket-keeper.

 

 

Bayern Munich 2/7 Draw 39/10 Boca Juniors 8/1 (kick off 03:00)

 

Bayern demolished New Zealand amateur side Auckland City 10-0 in their opening match. Jamal Musiala scored a second half hat trick and Muller, Olise and Conman all bagged a brace. The only other notable mention was Harry Kane failing to score.

 

Boca were very much the underdogs for their clash with Benfica in their first action of the tournament. They threatened a surprise in taking a 2-0 lead through Merentiel and Battaglia but Benfica pulled a goal back on the stroke of half time and then equalized with 6 minutes of normal time remaining and the game finished 2-2.

 

After a walk in the park against Auckland this should be much tougher for Bayern but given their already plentiful attacking options have now been boosted by fit again Musiala I think the Bundesliga side can score in both halves.

 

Bet: Bayern to score in both halves? (yes) at 9/10 with Hollywoodbets

 

 

Mamelodi Sundowns 15/2 Draw 4.25/1 Dortmund 1 / 3 (Kick off 18:00)

 

If Sundowns are to reach the knockout rounds then victory in their opening game against South Korean's Ulsan HD looked to be non negotiable and Downs passed the test with a 1-0 victory. Rayners scored the only goal of the game on 36 minutes and after the opening round of matches Downs top Group F. The lead could have been greater in the first half and although Ulsan did pose more of a break after the break Downs were full value for the first African win in the Club World Cup.

 

Dortmund let favourite backers down in drawing their opening match against Fluminense 0-0 and it was the Brazilian side who carved out the better chances.

 

Dortmund were nowhere near the level they are capable of in their opening match but this is obviously a huge task for Sundowns. I think the South African champs will put up plenty of resistance but I expect Dortmund to apply plenty of pressure and it might pay to side with Divine Lunga to pick up a yellow card.

 

Bet: To be shown a card Divine Lunga at 22/10 with Sportingbet

 

At 21:00 Inter Milan take on Urawa Red Diamonds in Group E. Inter were held to a 1-1 draw by Monterrey in their opener whilst Red Diamonds went down 3-1 to River Plate. Inter are around 1 / 5 to win the match but this is another game we will swerve.
