Bodø/Glimt are appearing in the Champions League proper for only the second time, although this is their fifth Champions League campaign overall, all since 2021. They made their competition debut last season, reaching the round of 16 after defeating Inter in the knockout phase play-offs before eventually losing to Sporting CP. Meanwhile, they have never beaten German opposition. Their three previous encounters have produced two draws and one defeat, although both of their away matches ended level. Their most recent visit to Germany resulted in a 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 6 last season. Bodø/Glimt can draw inspiration from their recent performance on European soil, having won eight of their last ten such matches. A 4—3—3 formation with Jens Petter Hauge, Andreas Helmersen, and Ole Didrik Blomberg in attack is expected against Bayern.
