FC Bayern München vs FK Bodø/Glimt
Match Preview
Bayern Munich open their Champions League league-phase campaign at the Allianz Arena against Bodo/Glimt, a first-ever competitive meeting between the clubs. Bayern arrive having reached last season's semi-final before falling to eventual champions PSG, and they currently sit top of the Bundesliga after a perfect start. Bodo/Glimt, meanwhile, lead the Eliteserien table and earned their spot here by beating NEC Nijmegen home and away in the playoff round.
Form favours the hosts heavily: Bayern are unbeaten across their last several games, highlighted by a 5-1 demolition of Stuttgart featuring goals from Michael Olise and Luis Diaz, with Harry Kane leading the line after a 36-goal league season. Bodo/Glimt arrive on a five-match winning streak of their own, a 4-2 win over Rosenborg their latest, driven by Kasper Hogh and Jens Petter Hauge up front. With no history between these sides, this is uncharted territory for both.
Our prediction: 4-1
