With preseason in full swing before the Champions League begins, several teams are using the Audi Cup to make final roster and lineup adjustments. Real Madrid and Bayren Munich appear to be doing it the right way as the two clubs advanced the finals of the tournament and are set to face off on Wednesday. This match will serve as a solid preview for when the two teams meet late in the season.

Bayern Munich is thriving heading into Champions League play after additions like Douglas Costa and Arturo Vidal join the squad. Both players have upped the level of intensity on the pitch an increased the pace of play. The team beat AC Milan 3-0 thanks to goals by Robert Lewandowski, Mario Gotze and Juan Bernat. This type of momentum will likely carry into the season's play, so getting more of it in the finals match will be key for the squad.

Real Madrid will be playing without stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema who did not make the trip to Munich for the preseason match. They beat Tottenham on Tuesday thanks to a goal from James Rodriguez and Gareth Bale who will be relied upon heavily in this match. Real is still determining some of their starters in the lineup. Jese is developing into a strong striker option thanks to the injury to Benzema. He could see his debut in LaLiga after lacking confidence in the role last season. He has been in great shape during preseason play and is a favorite for the job.

Bayern Munich is looking to really begin to put their stamp on the upcoming season after looking unimpressive in the month of July. Pep Guardiola is looking to take his newly added pieces the integrate a better tactical scheme. Arjen Robben and Vidal will be critical to that effort. The team will likely return to a back-four defensive style after struggling with three-man play. Meanwhile Los Blancos are trying to shake off rust after taking off a good portion of the summer. Rafa Benitez added in as much super star power as he could for the roster, but with several players still unavailable, getting chemistry will be tough.
