Bayern Munich host Bodø / Glimt at Allianz Arena on Thursday, September 10 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).
Bayern Munich go into this one without the suspended Min-Jae Kim, the groin-injured Serge Gnabry and the banned Sacha Boey, while the knee-injured Bryan Zaragoza and the foot-injured Tarek Buchmann remain sidelined; the doubtful Michael Olise and Joshua Kimmich are both risks having picked up yellow cards. Harry Kane, Luis Díaz and teenager Lennart Karl look set to lead the line regardless, with Jamal Musiala also pushing for minutes. Bodø/Glimt travel with gaps of their own — the groin-injured August Mikkelsen, the knee-injured Haakon Evjen, the injured Magnus Bech Riisnaes, the lower-leg-injured Haitam Aleesami and the knock-affected Isak Sjong are all out — but Andreas Helmersen, Ole Blomberg, Jens Petter Hauge and Patrick Berg remain their most dangerous outlets.
Allianz Arena has been a fortress for nights like these, and Bayern’s front line — Kane scored 14 goals and Díaz created 24 chances between them last season — gives this the feel of one-way traffic in spells. Bodø/Glimt won’t simply sit back, though: their last four fixtures have brought three wins and a draw, all of them stuffed with goals, and Hauge and Berg carry enough craft to trouble a defence missing the suspended Kim. Expect goals at both ends, with Bayern’s superior firepower proving decisive.
