Bayern Munich to meet Aston Villa in pre-season friendly at Kai Tak Sports Park on August 7

Bayern Munich, led by Vincent Kompany, will face Unai Emery’s Aston Villa in a pre-season friendly at Kai Tak Sports Park in Mongkok, Kowloon, Hong Kong, with kick-off scheduled for 05:30 p.m. IST on Friday, August 07. The match is part of both clubs’ pre-season preparations ahead of the new campaign.

Bayern have recorded back-to-back wins in their last two matches and will aim to extend that run against Villa, a side they have yet to beat in head-to-head meetings. The Villans have won two of four club friendlies so far as they build toward the new season. Yes, the Villans secured the Europa League title last season and are hence eligible to compete in the UCL.

Bayern’s recent scoring form has been notable, with the Bavarians registering 17 goals across their last two matches, a tally the preview describes as likely to "create massive problems for their opponents." Against the German top-division club, the preview assesses it will be a tough encounter for Unai Emery’s men.

Tactical notes supplied in the preview advise Aston Villa to adopt an attacking approach to breach Bayern’s defence while maintaining a "calm and composed play style in the midfield." The article frames those adjustments as necessary for Villa to pose a consistent threat during the friendly.

Broadcast arrangements for the fixture are detailed in the preview: fans can watch live on the FanCode app and website. In the United Kingdom, VillaTV is the only way to watch this fixture live, while viewers in the United States can tune in via FC Bayern TV PLUS.
