Bayern Munich vs Bodo/Glimt Preview – prediction, team news, lineups | UEFA Champions League 2026-27
These sides have never faced each other before!
Bayern Munich are all set to go head-to-head against Bodo/Glimt for their first league phase contest of the UEFA Champions League 2026-27 campaign. The Allianz Arena will witness the clash between these clubs.
The German giants have been on a sensational run of form since the beginning of the season. They have secured four wins in their last five matches and their previous Bundesliga fixture ended in a goalless draw against FC Schalke 04. Despite controlling the tempo of the game, the Vincent Kompany-led side failed to fire the ball at the back of the net.
Bayern Munich will be at home for their first Champions League contest of the season and with a stacked squad, they will be pushing for a win. The Bavarians reached the semi-finals and were knocked out by PSG last season. This time around they will be keen to bag the silverware.
Bodo/Glimt stunned everyone with their wins against Manchester City, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid during their UEFA Champions League 2025-26 campaign. They contested well to reach the round of 16, but were then knocked out by the Portuguese side, Sporting CP.
Kjetil Knutsen’s men are going to have a tough contest for their opening game of the elite European competition this season. They have never faced Bayern Munich before and they cannot make mistakes out there after being away from home.
