Friendly matches are part of the matches that are difficult to predict. Just like you have said, it adds nothing to the team. Don't be surprise if the underdog win the match with their big odds. I do catch cruise with games like this sometime if I have some extra cash. I will just pick like 5 friendly matches in which I will place bet on the underdogs individually as a single bet. If just one of the game win then I still win big. Although this is risky but worth trying once in a while with little money that you can avoid to lose.
That's too risky, it's true that friendly matches are very difficult to predict and sometimes even the favorite team playing with its full squad is unable to win the match, as happened with Bayern Munich against Basel.
I was a little surprised by this result because Bayern Munich played almost all of their main players but their performance was quite bad and this was just a friendly match and didn't mean anything for both teams.
Don't expect too much from friendly matches, because their target in the match is not the final result, but how they can play, they must also use this match to experiment with their strategy, because whatever the result is it will not affect them at all.
The level of the two clubs competing has a much different level and if this is an official match I am very sure Bayern Munich will win by a large score too. But they couldn't win this match and I'm not surprised at all, because from the start I thought this was a match that they would use as a match to maintain the touch of the players.
They did attack throughout the match, but they didn't look determined to win the match.
