After falling at the semi-final stage last season, Bayern München claimed a statement win in Week One of the league phase of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League.
A crushing 5-0 home win over Bodo/Glimt was impressive, and Vincent Kompany's men face another Norwegian test as they travel to Viking FK on Tuesday.
The hosts were beaten by VFB Stuttgart in their opening match of the competition, but the Eliteserien leaders will pose a goal threat to the German champions.

Viking FK v FC Bayern München Prediction
Best Bet: Michael Olise: 3+ Shots on Target @ 13/8
A goal 10 minutes from time saw Bayern München snatch a 2-2 draw at Augsburg on Saturday and took their Bundesliga tally to 16 in five matches.
They scored five goals in their first UEFA Champions League tie of the season and expect to take the game to Viking on Tuesday.
Bayern München had 26 shots at the weekend, 10 on target, and a similar theme is likely in the midweek clash at Viking Stadion.
Michael Olise has enjoyed a fantastic start to the season, scoring six goals in six games across all competitions, including a brace against Bodo/Glimt.
Bayern also registered 26 shots in that UEFA Champions League clash, with seven of those strikes coming from the former Crystal Palace man.
After the first round of games, nobody in the competition had more shots on target than French international Olise, who racked up four in that 5-0 success.
Alternative Bet: Bayern to win and Both Teams to Score @ 1/1
It would be a big surprise if Bayern München didn't make it two wins from two, especially when you consider Stuttgart - five points behind Kompany's men in the Bundesliga - were comfortable winners over Viking.
The Norwegian league leaders conceded three goals in 32 minutes in their opening match of the league phase, although they did get themselves on the scoresheet through skipper Zlatko Tripic.
It's worth noting that Viking go into Tuesday's clash having scored in each of their last 16 games, including an 8-1 win over Kristiansund last month.
