Bayern Munich vs Bodo/Glimt: Full lineups confirmed as Harry Kane starts in UEFA Champions League 2026-27 match
The German giants open their UCL campaign against Bodø tonight.
Bayern Munich, led by Vincent Kompany, begin their Champions League league phase at the Allianz Arena. They are unbeaten in nine games and have the attacking form that makes this encounter appear one-sided on paper.
The German giants are set for an easy fixture tonight and will be looking to get the job done as they aim to open their Champions League campaign with a win.
Bodø/Glimt, led by Kjetil Knutsen, has an 18-game undefeated streak across all competitions and recently defeated NEC Nijmegen 6-1 in an aggregate play-off. Harry Kane remains the tale that defines any Bayern Munich vs Bodo Glimt prediction, having scored in seven successive Champions League games and becoming the competition’s highest scorer since his arrival in 2023.
Serge Gnabry, on the other hand, will remain absent from the German giants. Gnabry is nearing a return and making good progress in team training, but management is treating his recuperation with particular caution after a long-term adductor injury.
Furthermore, promising centre-back Tarek Buchmann is still sidelined after undergoing summer ankle surgery, leaving Tah and Dayot Upamecano to anchor the defensive backline.
Bodø/Glimt are well-prepared for their next encounter in Germany, having just completed their league schedule. The Norwegian champions are now on a 20-match undefeated run in all competitions, including a fantastic seven-match winning streak.
