Be careful betting on this little competition guys. There are lots of surprises in pre season, coaches use it to get players fit & try different formations etc. It’s not really about winning ultimately so there will be weird results. Just be careful, little warning.

You heard him, guys. So, unless you're an experienced sports bettor (like @buwaytress), I'd recommend to stay away from betting on this cup, or at least don't risk too much money.

Now back to tonight's game, Bayern usually trashes Arsenal in official competitions. Against Bayern, The Gunners have a record of 3W-1D-7L, but interestingly enough, the last time both teams met was in a friendly (first time both teams faced each other in a friendly), it was in the 2017 International Champions Cup, the game ended with a draw in FT but Arsenal won in the penalty shootout. Maybe we'll see the same story later today?

I always bet small on every game really, the real betting money I put on is generally on a few teams, and a few games throughout a season. And I'd definitely not consider myself super experienced, as I don't have the insight nor the knowledge a lot of other tipsters do. If you don't believe me, look at my performance in the BCT superbru pools. Right at the bottom.

Oh but hey, Arsenal did win Wink

I see that this tournament use by the club as a warm-up before the local leagues in each country started, so the possibility that the team would not play with full team or could be said would not take seriousl. Seeing the teams playing I bet 3 teams to be favourite like Liverpool Madrid and Hotspur

It’s 100% going to be used as a warm up for local domestic leagues. The real prizes are handed out at the end of the season not before it’s started Wink

Well, since this is pre-season, the results will be so unpredictable.

Agree, as it is a pre-season, all the teams possibly try to use new formations even if it is an International Champions Cup.
This will make the result to be unpredictable, new formations or strategy may be effective or not.

It's difficult to watch football lately as a Manchester United fan. This team is a joke!

It is very unfortunate for you. Manchester United era has been already over, so why don't you move to another team? Cheesy

Anyway, don't burden it with a hopeless expectation. Grin

I think Real Madrid has the biggest chance to win this tournament.

Indeed. Real Madrid will begin the season with a title on International Champions Cup. As a Real Madrid fan, I am very grateful for your prediction. Cheesy

Fiorentina helped me get my first big win of the season last night, so yay! Parlayed them with a Champions League qualifier. Great odds considering the gulf between the two teams.

I've always thought of this tourney as a strange one but I fancy an Arsenal 4/1 upset. They will be rested, and hopefully angry at last season. Bayern start the season weaker than they ended the previous, losing Ribery, Robben, Hummels... still a strong team for sure and maybe the younger squad average is better for them long term but they will need the time.

It will be fun to watch all the matches, Because most participating clubs play well and have the best players, I think all matches will be better. The winner of this tournament will be determined by the feet inside the stadium.

Anyway, looking from the participants, I think Real Madrid has the biggest chance to win this tournament. Their 3rd or 2nd tier squad still can compete with the like of United. Cheesy

LOL its been the same for me, I have become disinterested in everything regarding football because of Manchester United, but let's see how the season turns up. With the ICC since it's mainly a friendly tournament where teams will be testing out new tactics and their new players, anything can actually happen.

Every pre-season match of the International Champions Cup is certainly very much awaited. Although sometimes the results are not the main thing. At least with this preseason, each team will always be ready to face the real season. I am interested in watching Real Madrid.

Definitely going to watch Arsenal - Bayern and I'm placing a bet for Bayern to win with 2-1.
I know they've absolutely slaughtered Arsenal back in 2016, but don't think it's going to be that easy for them now.

I’ll watch some of the games of course. I’m always bored in the off season & looking to get my fix by picking up some friendlies. I’ve already watched Liverpool’s two games so far but against admittedly weak opposition.

I had completely forgotten about this competition till I saw this thread, I’ll see Manchester United matches hoping for a change in the way they play. Liverpool is in red hot form first match they score 6 goals, and next they scored three goals it seems like they’re mentally playing in the premier league.

This tournament is always known for the big surprises happening.The reason for that is that most European teams don't take this seriously and they consider this as a training phase before the official European leagues start in August and September.Other less known teams have won against big names in this tournament.

@swogerino precisely the reason why one should avoid gambling on this tournament, however don’t you’ll think we can place bets on Liverpool or Real Madrid surely one of them has to win the cup?.

You never know so it is better to be safe rather than sorry.I know when I was working in the Balkans many persons there like gambling a lot especially in these kind of events and a few of them lost a lot of money from betting large amounts of money.

I have restricted my betting on only events which are taken more seriously.

Definitely gonna look into it And if Tottenham Hotspur will continue their reign as Champion, And will watch the announcement first before taking a deep digesting on what's gonna be a possible outcome for the matches,

Aside from Tottenham to become Champion again this year is if Marco Asensio and Alexandre Lacazette would be the top scorer of the game, So Looking forward if Tottenham can make a defense on their title.

I'm going to watch some games. But probably we will see most clubs playing with young players because teams are only starting pre-season and their main stars got more time to rest. And this year there are less teams, we won't see clubs like Liverpol, Man City, Barcelona or Borussia playing there

This tournament sounds new to me. How does a team qualify here? Or is it just through invitation by tournament organizers? I wonder why FC Barcelona is not in the mix.

Clubs are invited to this tournament. Barca played previous few years, but this time they chose to travel to Japan.
