Bayern Munich vs Bodo/Glimt: six straight wins for the Norwegian side 
Bodo/Glimt have won their last six competitive matches. Across that run, the Norwegian club have scored 17 goals and shipped 7.
Those numbers tell you they are in decent nick, but they do not begin to cover the jump in class that is coming. None of those six opponents were called Bayern Munich.
Kick-off is set for Thursday 10 September at 21:00, German and French time, at the Allianz Arena. Both clubs are playing their first match of the 2026-27 league phase there.
Bayern come into it off a mixed start to the season: four competitive matches, three wins and a 0-0 draw away to Schalke 04 in Gelsenkirchen on 5 September. That stalemate is the only blemish on a strong August.
Bodo/Glimt, meanwhile, booked their place by seeing off NEC Nijmegen in the play-offs, winning 3-1 away and 3-0 at home. The Norwegian side had already dumped out Union Saint-Gilloise in the third qualifying round.
So this is a side that scores plenty against a side that does not give much away. That imbalance is the lens through which this game has to be viewed.
The league phase format means each team faces eight different opponents. Bayern will wrap theirs up against Real Betis on 27 January 2027.
Matchday one runs from Tuesday 8 September to Thursday 10 September. The closing night features six games, including this one.
Bayern Munich: nine goals in two games, then a slight stall 
Bayern thumped Stuttgart 5-1 at home on the opening Bundesliga weekend on 28 August. Four days later, they won 4-1 away at VfL Osnabruck in the first round of the German Cup.
Nine goals in two games is the heaviest attacking output the club has posted since the restart. It explains why the Bavarians are heading into Europe with no shortage of confidence.
But the 0-0 draw forced on them by Schalke 04 on 5 September changes the picture a little. On a hostile pitch and against a packed defence, Munich kept banging on the same door for 90 minutes and never got in.
Bayern had already beaten Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the Super Cup on 22 August, a win claimed away from home. Their record from four competitive matches now stands at three wins and a draw, with 11 goals scored and 3 conceded.
Two absentees hit the attack: Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry are both out injured. Bayern still have enough quality to cope against this level of opposition, but the rotation options are thinner than they would like.
The key factor is the setting. At the Allianz Arena, with space to play into and an opponent who is not built to sit in, Bayern get the sort of game that helped them put five past Stuttgart.
Of their four competitive matches, only one has been at the Allianz Arena. The Bavarians have not played there in front of their own fans since 28 August.
They have already lifted silverware this season too, winning the German Super Cup 2-1 in Dortmund. That away win remains their cleanest reference point against a top-level opponent.
Try it for $0.99.
Bodo/Glimt: a scoring machine that still leaves the back door open 
Bodo/Glimt have scored at least twice in each of their last six matches. None of those games ended as a one-sided, low-scoring grind.
That attacking consistency comes with a catch: seven goals conceded in the same period, just over one per game. This is not a team that shuts up shop and hopes for the best.
On 4 September, they won 2-1 at Fredrikstad in the Eliteserien. Five days earlier, they had beaten Rosenborg 4-2 at home, which pretty much sums up how they go about things.
Their 2026 European run also tells you plenty about their level: a 3-2 win against Union Saint-Gilloise in the third qualifying round, then 6-1 on aggregate against NEC Nijmegen in the play-offs. Two solid sides, brushed aside without much fuss.
The calendar, though, is working against them. Bodo/Glimt are deep into their domestic season and used to a heavy schedule, while Bayern are only just coming out of their summer build-up.
The danger is obvious: a side willing to take risks at the Allianz Arena can quickly end up staring at a heavy defeat. The Norwegians will probably score, but they are likely to concede more.
They got here by clearing two hurdles, Union Saint-Gilloise and NEC Nijmegen. Neither managed to make them look uncomfortable across 180 minutes.
Their league matches on 30 August and 4 September mean they are right in the middle of competitive rhythm. Bayern, by contrast, are still fine-tuning after the break.

Champions League prediction Bayern Munich vs Bodo/Glimt
Our prediction: Over 3.5 goals in the match
Bayern have scored nine goals in two games in late August, including a 5-1 home win over Stuttgart. When they get space, they can open a game up in a hurry.
At the other end, Bodo/Glimt have conceded seven goals in their last six matches while scoring in every one of them. That profile, attacking and porous, fits the script for a game with four goals or more.
Bayern have also conceded in three of their four competitive matches. So a one-sided goal fest looks less likely than an open game where both sides contribute.
The bet is on the total, not the winner: over 3.5 goals in the match.

First, a quick word on our free tips
- What we publish on mathodds is analysis, nothing more. It is an opinion, a read on the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a random goal from nowhere… and the whole script changes.
- Let us be clear: there is no bet without risk. Even when something looks obvious, it never really is. And yes, that means you can lose. In fact, you will, sooner or later.
- The best approach is to stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Do not touch money you need to live. And above all: do not chase losses, it rarely ends well.
- A bet should stay a bit of fun, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking up too much space in your life, if it winds you up or puts you under pressure, take a break. If needed, speak to a specialist organisation. That is what they are there for.
- In the end, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and never disappears, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Essential reminder: betting is banned for minors and must follow the law in your country. Gambling can go wrong fast, with money losses, family tension and addiction. Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our tips are not a contract. They carry no legal weight. In plain terms: you cannot rely on them to demand anything if a bet goes wrong.
Information changes
A prediction is always based on what we know when it is written. But in the meantime, a team sheet changes (like Bayern Munich’s, for instance), a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can quickly be out of date. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before you bet, simply check that betting is legal where you are. If it is not, that is your responsibility, not ours.
