Bayern Munich and Bodo/Glimt kick off this new edition of the Champions League. They face off this Thursday at the Allianz Arena. As one of the top favorites to win the title, the Bavarian club expects to make a strong impression in its European debut. Led by an attack featuring Luis Diaz, Michael Olise, and Harry Kane, the team coached by Vincent Kompany will have plenty of firepower to impress their fans.
Bodo/Glimt is dreaming of an upset in Bavaria. They were one of the big surprises of last season’s Champions League. They advanced all the way to the Round of 16, notably eliminating Inter Milan in the play-offs. The Norwegian club still hopes to play the role of spoiler in Europe’s premier competition. It won’t be easy for Kjetil Knutsen’s men to get on the board this Thursday night. Still, they’ll have what it takes to make their mark on offense!

Bayern Munich & Bodoe/Glimt Squad Analysis
For this Champions League matchup, Bayern Munich will be without Tarek Buchmann and Serge Gnabry. Vincent Kompany can still count on a high-quality roster for this first matchday of the group stage. Despite being 40 years old, Manuel Neuer is still in goal for Bayern. He’ll do everything he can to keep a clean sheet this Thursday. Defensive stalwart Dayot Upamecano will partner Jonathan Tah in the center of the defense.
Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlovic will take the field in midfield. On the bright side, Jamal Musiala has just returned to action after suffering two health scares during the preseason. The Bavarians’ offense remains top-notch. With Michael Olise, Luis Diaz, and Harry Kane, Bayern Munich can strike at any moment.
Jamal Musiala has just made his return to Bayern Munich.
As for Bodo/Glimt, Isak Sjong, Haitam Aleesami, Jostein Maurstad Gundersen, Hakon Evjen, and Magnus Riisnaes are unavailable. They may not be the only ones missing, as August Mikkelsen is questionable. The Norwegian club still has other strengths. Nikita Haikin, who has been the starting goalkeeper for many years, will be in goal for this away match at the Allianz Arena. Keep a close eye on Fredrik André Bjørkan in the backline.
