Viking vs Bayern Munich prediction 13.10.2026 | Champions League

Viking have become one of Norway's best teams. After the title last season, they have a chance for another trophy. With eight rounds left in the 2026 season, Viking share first place in Eliteserien with Bodo/Glimt. However, things are not that great in the Champions League, where the team from Stavanger lost 3-1 to Stuttgart in the opening round. Since then, Viking have won all four matches in domestic competitions. In the previous game, they won 2-0 on the road against Brann. That match was harder than the final result suggests, especially because Viking played with ten players for most of the tie, but they still secured another valuable victory.

After a big victory against Brann, Viking's head coach Morten Jensen was very satisfied. He commented, "We are very, very happy with the victory. When you have to play with ten men for 60 minutes, I think we put in a heroic effort. It is a game I think we have good control of."

Viking have problems with missing players. They will be without Anders Baertelsen, Martin Ove Roseth, Veton Berisha, Nick D'Agostino, and Sondre Bjorshol.

Bayern Munich are undoubtedly one of Europe's best teams. They have the highest ambition for the 2026/27 season, both domestically and at the continental level. After five Bundesliga rounds, Bayern Munich trail the league leader, Borussia Dortmund, by two points, while in the Champions League they opened the competition with a spectacular 5-0 win over another Norwegian team, Bodo/Glimt. Bayern Munich were on a three-win run until Saturday, when Vincent Kompany's team surprisingly drew 2-2 on the road against Augsburg. Although the visitors had plenty of chances to score, they trailed for most of the game and should be pleased to avoid defeat.

After a draw in Augsburg, Bayern's head coach, Vincent Kompany, was disappointed. He stated, "We're not happy, because we didn't win. But it isn't an easy away fixture. Lots of teams will drop points here. When you have so many chances, you've done a lot right. But when you make mistakes like we did that led to two goals, then it's deserved that we didn't win."

Injured Jamal Musiala is unavailable for the trip to Stavanger, while Konrad Laimer is questionable for personal reasons.
