Viking host Bayern Munich at SR-Bank Arena on Tuesday, October 13 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).
There’s nothing on Viking’s availability list to navigate, so the selection picture is straightforward: Zlatko Hovland Tripić, who has scored 3 goals from 259 minutes this season, is the central scoring threat, with Tobias Saliou Séne Moi providing the service after chipping in 2 assists and creating 5 chances. Bayern Munich have no fresh worries either, and the front line that produced a 5-0 win over Bodø/Glimt should carry straight into this one: Harry Kane scored 1 goal from six shots, Michael Olise scored two goals from seven shots with four on target, and Jamal Musiala also got on the scoresheet. Alphonso Davies, often deployed at the back, chipped in with a goal of his own from set pieces, giving Bayern an extra source of threat beyond their front three.
Viking sit on 0 points from 1 match played, a damaging opening defeat to Stuttgart that leaves them with a goal difference of -2, though the 2-2 draw and 3-1 win either side of that result show there’s enough control in this group to cause problems. Bayern Munich’s quality makes them clear favourites and the shape of this one points to a tight away win rather than a blowout, with Tripić’s early scoring form giving Viking enough of a route back into the game to make them a more competitive watch than the result alone will suggest.

- Tobias Saliou Séne Moi (Viking): The midfielder has created 5 chances and claimed 2 assists in 219 minutes, the clearest creative influence in this Viking side.
- Michael Akpovie Olise (Bayern Munich): 2 goals and 7 shots, 4 of them on target, in a single appearance make Olise the standout attacking threat Viking must contain.

- 2026-09-10: Bayern Munich 5-0 Bodø / Glimt (W, home)
Bayern Munich’s only fixture so far produced a 5-0 win at home to Bodø/Glimt, with Olise scoring 2 and Kane among the goals too.
Viking vs Bayern Munich Prediction
This looks like a tight away win rather than anything one-sided. Bayern Munich’s attacking depth, shown by Olise’s 2 goals and Kane’s goal in the 5-0 win over Bodø/Glimt, should be enough to see off a Viking side carrying a goal difference of -2 from their opening match, but Tripić’s early scoring form at home, 3 goals already this season, gives the hosts a route to find the net of their own. We’re backing a 1-2 win for Bayern Munich, with Viking’s underlying numbers suggesting the market is undervaluing how competitive they can make this one even in defeat.
