Bayern München vs Bodo/Glimt - UEFA Champions League

A fascinating UEFA Champions League chapter awaits on September 10, 2026 when Bayern München take on Bodo/Glimt at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. That coronation came from City's £116m summer signing Elliot Anderson - and has been hotly debated in the build-up to the Manchester derby Super Sunday showdown at Old Trafford, which you can watch live on Sky Sports.

The standings paint a clear picture: Bayern München in 2nd, Bodo/Glimt in 36th, and both keen to climb. Confidence is coursing through the home camp, with W in their last five and a season win rate of 100% underscoring their momentum. Bodo/Glimt are searching for answers away from home, LWWWD over their last five with a campaign win rate of 0%. Their respective approaches this season have differed noticeably, and the tactical contrast could prove telling. In his latest column, Paul Merson predicts the 2026/27 Premier League season at both ends of the table.

Set-piece efficiency and transition play often decide fixtures of this nature, and both managers will have been drilling those phases on the training ground. Tottenham have changed their approach and are spending big on players who already know the Premier League.

The fixture boasts genuine star quality. With Talisca topping the UEFA Champions League scoring charts at 4 goals, the stage is set for the kind of individual brilliance that can swing a contest. The wide areas will be a key battleground, with full-backs and wingers on either side capable of swinging the contest one way or the other. But United aren't budging—they still consider the Slovenian striker central to Michael Carrick's long-term project at Old Trafford.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. All signs point towards a home win, with Bayern München favoured to come out on top by a 4-0 scoreline. The result at the home ground could resonate well beyond matchday in the UEFA Champions League picture. The club are understood to favour a profile closer to Aurelien Tchouameni or a Premier League‑proven alternative rather than Manu Kone.
