In the second round of the general stage of the Champions League, the humble Norwegian Viking will undergo a real test of strength. On October 13, they will play against the formidable Bayern Munich, which lost points in the Bundesliga the day before, having drawn with Augsburg. Will the hosts stand up and which reliable bets to choose for the game? - you can find out about this from our betting tip
Command Analysis
Viking
Current form
The start of the main stage of the Champions League for Viking was quite predictably unsuccessful. Away against Stuttgart, the Norwegians conceded three goals in the first half and scored once themselves. There were no goals in the second half, the final defeat with a score of 1:3, in general, was in the game, the difference in class affected. In the Norwegian championship, Viking is fighting fiercely with Bud Glimt for the first place. After 22 rounds, the competitors have the same number of points, but the team of the Orsheim–Jensen coach duo is ahead in additional indicators. We note that Viking did not lose a single point in the national championship, having scored 10 wins with a total score of 38-10.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bertelsen, Roset, Bjershol, D'Agostino and Berisha will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
There has been no goal exchange in three consecutive matches involving Viking.
Viking players fouled more often than their opponents in three of the last four matches.
Since the start of the season, Bayern has not fully met expectations and betting tips. First of all, this concerns the Bundesliga, where Munich managed to lose points twice in five rounds, drawing with Schalke (0:0) and Augsburg (2:2). Both unsuccessful matches were played away. The day before, Neuer let down Augsburg in the goal, making two effective mistakes. At the same time, the Bavarians still scored four goals from offsides, they were not defended.
In the Champions League, Vincent Kompany's team did not experience any problems in the opening round. On their own field, Bayern did not leave a single chance to another representative of Norway, Bud Glimt (5:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Buchmann and Musiala will not play in Norway due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
In three of the last five matches, Bayern did not win after the opening 45 minutes.
In 12 of the previous 13 matches, Bayern had not lost by offside
Approximate line–up: Neuer – Stanisic, Upamecano, Ta, Brown – Kimmich, Pavlovic - Olise, Saibari, Diaz – Kane.
Vincent Kompany knows how to work on mistakes with his wards. In September, a misfire with Schalke was followed by a crushing victory over Buda Glimt in the Champions League. The situation is similar now. Munich had a 2-2 draw with Augsburg, where they had every chance of winning the game. There is a game ahead against a noticeably inferior Viking in the class, there is an opportunity to rehabilitate.
The Norwegians did not lose a single point at home in the national championship, but this result should not be overestimated, since there were no rivals at the level of Bavaria. Viking could not show anything in the first round against the backdrop of Stuttgart. It's going to be even harder against the Bavarians, given their huge attacking potential. We believe that the hosts will not be able to avoid a crushing defeat.
Our betting tip is for Bayern to win with an Asian handicap (-3) for a coefficient of 2.06
In matches involving Bayern, it is not worth looking for arguments in favor of betting on the total less. Regardless of the opponent, Vincent Kompany's players rely on attacking. Viking is also capable of distinguishing himself on his own field, especially since Bayern makes mistakes in defense, and Neuer made two mistakes in the match against Augsburg the day before. We are waiting for at least five goals scored.
The second bet is a total of more than 4.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.98
Betting on corners
At least 11 corners were taken in six of Bayern's eight previous matches. Obviously, the guests will dictate their playing conditions on the field today, and it is worth starting from their trend when choosing a corner bet.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 10.5 with a coefficient of 1.95
