Although Vincent Kompany will aim to lead his team to victory in the competition, driven by the substantial prize money, it's unlikely he will field his full-strength squad against Auckland City due to the significant quality disparity.

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer might be shielded by centre-backs Jonathan Tah and Eric Dier, while Dayot Upamecano could make an appearance later in the tournament.

Joshua Kimmich may anchor midfield alongside Aleksandar Pavlovic, with Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane potentially starting as wingers, though Sane is expected to play limited minutes as his contract ends at month's end.

Harry Kane is set to feature, and with Jamal Musiala doubtful, Thomas Muller could take an advanced position alongside the striker.

Auckland City may line up with goalkeeper Conor Tracey backed by a defense of Adam Bell, Nikko Boxall, Adam Mitchell, and Nathan Lobo.

Midfielders Gerard Garriga, Michael Den Heijer, and Mario Ilich are probable starters in the center, while Dylan Manickun, Myer Bevan, and Joe Lee could lead the attack.

Bayern Munich possible starting lineup:

Neuer; Laimer, Tah, Dier, Guerreiro; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Gnabry, Muller, Sane; Kane

Auckland City possible starting lineup:

Tracey; Bell, Boxall, Mitchell, Lobo; Garriga, Den Heijer, Ilich; Manickun, Bevan, Lee
