Football fans get ready for an exciting pre-season friendly as Swiss club Grasshoppers vs Bayern Munich takes place on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. The German champions travel to Switzerland for their final test before the new season begins. While Grasshoppers possess a rich history, they face a monumental task against a Bayern side that looks unstoppable under coach Vincent Kompany. This match promises to reveal the sheer gap in class between the two clubs.
Bayern Munich enters this friendly match in scintillating form. The team recently showcased its power with a dominant 4-0 victory over Tottenham, signaling their readiness for the upcoming season. Kompany’s Bayern looks sharp, organized, and hungry for more success after securing their 33rd Bundesliga title. This game provides a final opportunity for the coach to fine-tune his strategy and give key players valuable minutes.
On the other side, Grasshoppers face a tough reality. Once the powerhouse of Swiss football, the club has struggled to reclaim its former glory. In recent pre-season friendlies against elite European teams, they have often suffered heavy defeats. This Bayern Munich friendly will be a significant test of their resilience and tactical discipline.
Bayern Munich will be without the creative genius of Jamal Musiala, who is sidelined with a serious injury. However, Bayern’s incredible squad depth means they can easily cover his absence. We expect Kompany to field a strong lineup to maintain momentum.
