Team News and Likely Lineups
Bayern head into the game without Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry, both sidelined through injury, but Vincent Kompany’s side remain heavy favorites on home turf after a strong start to the Bundesliga season.
Bodø/Glimt, managed by Kjetil Knutsen, face a tougher injury list, missing key names including Magnus Bech Riisnæs, Håkon Evjen, and Jostein Gundersen. The Norwegian champions will lean on their attacking identity and high pressing to trouble Bayern’s backline.
Match Prediction
On paper, this is Bayern’s game to lose. Playing at the Allianz Arena with a near-full-strength squad, the German giants are strongly tipped to secure a comfortable win, while Bodø/Glimt will hope their Champions League experience from last season’s run helps them stay competitive rather than get overwhelmed early.
