Viking face Bayern Munich on Tuesday, 13 October 2026, in a Champions League league-phase fixture that tests the Norwegian side against one of Europe’s most established clubs.
The match is scheduled for 8:00 PM Nigerian time. Bayern will be expected to compete strongly, but Viking will hope their home support can make the contest uncomfortable for the visitors.
Viking vs Bayern Munich: Key Stats
UEFA reports that Viking are winless in their last seven matches against German teams, recording two draws and five defeats. The Norwegian club’s last 11 UEFA competition matches have produced 47 goals, an average of approximately 4.3 per game.
Bayern arrive with an impressive record against Norwegian opposition. The German club are unbeaten in nine matches against Norwegian teams, with seven wins and two draws. Bayern have also scored at least four goals in five of their last seven Champions League matches.
Harry Kane is another major storyline. UEFA’s preview notes that the Bayern striker has scored in eight consecutive Champions League matches, a run that places him among a small group of players to achieve the feat.
Head-to-Head
Bayern’s record against Norwegian clubs is a useful historical indicator, but it is not the same as a direct head-to-head record against Viking. A verified all-time competitive meeting total between these two clubs was not provided in the UEFA preview.
What to Expect
Viking will need a disciplined defensive performance and efficient counter-attacks to trouble Bayern. The visitors will likely aim to control the game and use their attacking depth to create scoring opportunities.
Prediction
Bayern’s European experience and scoring record make them clear favourites on paper. Viking’s home advantage could help them compete, but containing Bayern over 90 minutes will be a major task.
Predicted score: Bayern Munich to win and over 3.5
