Grasshopper Zurich will entertain Bayern Munich at Letzigrund in a friendly on Tuesday. Munich will conclude their preseason with this match and will head back to Germany to face Stuttgart in the DFL-Supercup final later this week.
The hosts are winless in the two games this month. They met defending champions Basel in their Swiss Super League and suffered a 2-1 loss. Their poor run continued against Servette last week, and they were held to a 1-1 draw.
The visitors met Tottenham Hotspur in their previous friendly last week and recorded a comfortable 4-0 home win. Harry Kane scored in the 12th minute against his former club but failed to score from the penalty spot three minutes later. Kingsley Coman, Lennart Karl, and Jonah Kusi-Asare added goals in the second half.
