Bayern Munich had no problems against Bodo/Glimt in the opening round, so I doubt Viking will fare much better on Tuesday. The hosts are capable of scoring a consolation goal, but the points are heading to Germany. 

Key Stats  


  • Viking have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 7 home matches. 
  • Bayern Munich have won 3 of their last 4 matches. 
  • Bayern Munich have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 5 matches. 

No Previous Meetings 


This is going to be the first head to head clash between Viking and Bayern Munich. 

Viking in Good Form 


Viking eliminated Dinamo Zagreb 5-3 on aggregate to reach the UCL main stage for the first time in club history, while they were beaten in the opening round by Stuttgart 3-1, Zlatko Tripic scoring the historic goal. 

The Norwegian champions picked up good form before the international break, crushing Kristiansund 8-0 at home, then claimed two more 3-0 victories against Lillestrom and Madia IL (Norwegian Cup). 

Last Friday, Viking extended this winning streak with a 2-0 road win at Brann which kept them in leading position in the Eliteserien, just above Bodo/Glimt with eight rounds left to be played. 

Bayern Defeated One Norwegian Team Already


Bayern Munich earned a commanding 5-0 victory against Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League opening match, Michael Olise netting a brace, Jamal Musiala, Harry Kane and Alphonso Davies also on target. 

The Bavarians had a couple of slip ups in the German Bundesliga this season though, winning just three out of five games. 

After earning back to back victories against Elversberg 2-1 and Union Berlin 7-0 in September, they were held to a 2-2 draw by Augsburg last weekend despite having 4.97-2.37 xG, 70% possession and 30-12 shots. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Viking (4-3-3) Arild Ostbo; Herman Haugen, Henrik Heggheim, Viljar Vevatne, Jost Urbancic; Joe Bell, Yann-Erik de Lanlay, Simen Kvia-Egeskog; Peter Christiansen, Lars-Jorgen Salvesen, Sander Svendsen

Ansah Kelvin Frimpong serves a suspension while Sondre Bjorshol, Anders Bloch Baertelsen, Martin Ove Roseth, Veton Berisha, and Nick DAgostino remain sidelined with injuries.

Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1) Manuel Neuer; Joshua Kimmich, Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-jae, Alphonso Davies; Konrad Laimer, Aleksandar Pavlovic; Michael Olise, Thomas Muller, Serge Gnabry; Harry Kane

Jamal Musiala is the only injury concern for the visitors (muscle problem). Harry Kane has netted 55 goals in the Champions League in his career (10th all-time best scorer).

Verdict

Bayern had a couple of slip ups this season in the Bundesliga but created an absurd number of chances in those clashes too. I will back them to beat Viking with BTTS on Tuesday.
