Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors: Club World Cup Prediction (21.06.2025)

On June 21, 2025, at 08:00 WIB, Bayern will face Boca Juniors at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, in the second round of the Club World Cup. Bookmakers consider the Bundesliga side to be clear favorites. Here we analyze the current form of both teams and provide our prediction for the match.

Bayern Munich

Bayern once again made a bright start to the tournament. Under Vincent Kompany, they began their Champions League campaign with a 9-2 victory. In the Club World Cup, they started with an even more dominant 10-0 win. However, their opponent was Auckland, widely regarded as the weakest team in the competition, composed mainly of amateur players who also have day jobs. Their next opponent will be much tougher — one of Argentina’s strongest clubs. Nonetheless, Bayern still holds an advantage in terms of player quality and experience in major tournaments.

Boca Juniors

Despite sharing a group with Auckland, Boca Juniors still find themselves in a difficult group, competing against two European league representatives. In their first match, Boca looked solid against Benfica, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw. Their main weapon was quick counter-attacks. Although they didn’t create as many chances as their opponents, their attacks were sharp. Notably, two players will miss the upcoming match due to red cards: Herrera, who was injured in the first half but was sent off while on the bench, and Figal, who played for the first time since December 2024 after recovering from injury.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

There are no previous meetings between the two clubs. As with many matchups in this tournament, this will be their first encounter.

Prediction

In the Bayern vs Boca Juniors match, we predict a victory for the European side. The German giants appear significantly stronger than their Argentine opponents and are fully focused on attacking play. Therefore, we expect plenty of dangerous chances from Bayern. Boca Juniors will likely defend deep and play on the counter, and while they are a fairly organized team defensively, our recommended bet is Boca Juniors +2.5 handicap at odds of 1.61.
