Allianz Arena, Munich
📊 Match Insights
Bayern Munich, a football powerhouse, will begin their Champions League journey on Thursday as they host Bodo/Glimt at the Allianz Arena for their first match in the group stage.
The Bavarians aim to maintain their unbeaten start to the season, while Bodo/Glimt is eager to secure their eighth straight win in all competitions.
Under the management of Vincent Kompany, Bayern reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season and are determined to start strong in pursuit of this year's final in Madrid.
Bayern kicked off the 2026-27 season with three consecutive domestic victories, including a 2-1 win over their rivals Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup on August 22.
However, their winning streak came to an end on Saturday when they were held to a 0-0 draw by promoted side Schalke 04.
The team will be looking to return to their winning ways midweek, bolstered by the fact that they have won their opening match in each of the last 22 Champions League seasons.
At home, Bayern has only suffered one defeat in 2026, achieving 15 wins and just two draws. Anything less than a victory against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday would be considered a disappointment.
On the other hand, Kjetil Knutsen's Bodo/Glimt successfully navigated two rounds of qualifying to reach the group stage and are eager to validate their hard work.
Superlaget triumphed over Union Saint-Gilloise with a 6-5 aggregate score in the third qualifying round, followed by a commanding 6-1 victory against NEC Nijmegen over two legs in last month's playoff.
