Bayern to take control
FC Bayern Munich should win when they host FK Bodo Glimt in the Allianz Arena on Thursday, but the visitors arrive in such cracking form that Glimt should at least give them a few nervous moments in this UEFA Champions League 2026-2027 encounter.
Die Bayern are unbeaten in all competitions after eight wins, one draw and one defeat in their last ten, which makes them clear favourites to win and continue in the competition. They have four wins and a draw from their last five after cruising to a 4-1 cup win at VfL Osnabruck and a 0-0 stalemate at Schalke in the Bundesliga.
Vincent Kompany has them playing a high-line, possession-based 4-2-3-1 system that makes them a fast-paced and ferocious counter-pressing team when the ball is lost. Luis Diaz has been their sharpest edge in the last five, netting three of the ten goals they have scored in that run.
Glimt can give their all
Glimt are also on a roll with five straight wins in their last five, coming into this match after a 5-0 cup thrashing at Fauske/Sprint and a 2-1 league win at Fredrikstad last weekend. In all competitions, FK Bodo Glimt are unbeaten and have won nine and drawn one of their ten. Kjetil Knutsen has got his team playing a fluid 4-3-3 system based on rotation in possession, overloads and lightning transitions. Glimt thrive on quick breaks and can press in unison, so we think this should be an exciting contest with chances at both ends.
Take a Bayern win and both teams to score
Glimt are capable of playing at a similar pace to Bayern and the visitors' ability to score and concede on the road is a good guide to what we think will happen at full-time. Both teams to score is our fancy here at 3/5 because the hosts play a high defensive line that gives room for the guests to exploit.
Bayern to win looks a bit short at 11/100, but the sheer volume of goals they have been scoring in recent home games does suggest we will see more than 2.5 at 7/50.
