Bayern Munich carry a large rating advantage into their Champions League meeting with Viking FK after both sides extended recent winning runs.
Bayern Munich arrive in Norway holding a substantial quality gap over Viking FK that the numbers translate into a heavy win probability.
Records and recent sequences
Viking FK occupy 30th place after their opening group loss and sit on zero points with a goal difference of minus two. Bayern Munich stand second after their first match, having collected three points and posted a plus-five goal difference.
Viking FK have collected three wins in their last five outings while Bayern Munich have taken four wins and one draw from the same span. Both sides enter with a three-match winning sequence.
Availability and selection
Line-ups are unconfirmed ahead of the midweek fixture at Viking Stadion. Bayern Munich drew 2-2 at Augsburg on Saturday after conceding the fastest goal in Bundesliga history when Manuel Neuer's error allowed Robin Fellhauer to score after eight seconds, reports from Yahoo Sports and BBC Sport note.
The same outlets record that Harry Kane supplied two assists in the recovery and that the result left Bayern two points behind the Bundesliga leaders. No fresh injury details have emerged for either squad that would alter the likely starting groups.
Numbers and market comparison
Expected goals sit at 0.9 for Viking FK and 3.2 for Bayern Munich, producing a most likely scoreline of 0-3. The model assigns Bayern an 86.8% win chance that qualifies as a strong favourite, with the draw at 10.3% and a home win at just 2.9%.
Bookmaker odds from ESPN imply an even higher 90.4% chance for Bayern while the Elo spread of 174 points, after home adjustment, favours the visitors by 109. Over 2.5 goals is projected at 77% and both teams to score at 56.1%.
Assessment
Bayern Munich to win stands as the pick at strong favourite confidence. The large expected-goals margin and Elo differential supply the clearest support for that outcome. A result for Viking FK would require them to exceed their 0.9 expected goals total by a wide margin. Markets on total goals add that a margin of three or more remains the likeliest route for the visitors.
