Bayern Munich vs Bodø / Glimt: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Stats

Bayern Munich vs Bodø / Glimt predicted formations

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 will be without the suspended Min-Jae Kim and the banned Sacha Boey, while the injured Serge Gnabry, Bryan Zaragoza and Tarek Buchmann remain out and Michael Olise and Joshua Kimmich carry yellow-card doubts. Harry Kane still leads the line, with Luis Díaz and Lennart Karl offering support in behind. The injured August Mikkelsen, Haakon Evjen, Magnus Bech Riisnaes, Haitam Aleesami and Isak Sjong all miss out for Bodø/Glimt, though Andreas Klausen Helmersen and Jens Petter Hauge give them a threat of their own.

This is about as tough a litmus test as the League Phase offers Bodø/Glimt, who have shown in Europe this season that they can trade goals with anyone — an extra-time win over Union Saint-Gilloise, a 3-3 draw in the reverse fixture, then wins home and away against NEC. Bayern’s own firepower, with Kane carrying the kind of scoring touch that defined his last campaign, should make Allianz Arena a stern examination for a side more used to matching opponents than shutting them out.

Season Form & Standings

Neither side’s league-phase standing is locked in this early in the campaign, but this meeting at the Allianz Arena still carries plenty of weight for both.

Recent domestic form. Here’s Bayern Munich’s domestic form ahead of the European opener:

Bayern Munich · Bundesliga 2026/27

WD

  • 05 Sep – Schalke 04 0–0 Bayern Munich (A) D
  • 28 Aug – Bayern Munich 5–1 Stuttgart (H) W

Potential Match-Winners

  • Harry Kane (Bayern Munich): Kane banked fourteen goals and racked up forty-six shots last season, and remains the focal point of everything Bayern do in the final third.
  • Luis Díaz (Bayern Munich): Díaz created twenty-four chances and struck seven goals last season, giving Bayern a genuine outlet from the left.
  • Andreas Klausen Helmersen (Bodø / Glimt): Helmersen scored 2 goals from just 265 minutes last season, and could offer a route back into this game if Bodø/Glimt need something different.

Recent Form

Bodø / Glimt: D D W W

Bodø/Glimt needed extra time to beat Union Saint-Gilloise 3-2 before a 3-3 draw in the reverse fixture, then won 3-1 away at NEC and 3-0 at home to NEC.

Bayern Munich vs Bodø / Glimt Prediction

Bayern’s greater overall quality, allied to home advantage at the Allianz Arena, should be enough to get the job done. Kane looks the man most likely to make the difference, and this looks a game with goals at both ends. Prediction: Bayern Munich 3-1 Bodø/Glimt.
