Bayern travel to Norway to face Viking Stavanger in the second round of the Champions League league phase, with an unusual challenge to handle: the artificial turf at Viking Stadium. Vincent Kompany’s side also arrive after an uncertain start to their Bundesliga campaign.
Bayern opened their European campaign with a 5-0 win over Bodö Glimt. Viking Stavanger, taking part in the competition for the first time, lost 3-1 to Stuttgart in their opening match.
Bayern’s preparations are also shaped by Jonas Urbig’s expected place in the team. The 40-year-old veteran goalkeeper travelled but will not play today after missing training on Sunday and the previous day with discomfort in a foot.
Harry Kane, who scored against Bodö Glimt, has the chance to extend his run by scoring in a ninth consecutive Champions League match. In the Bundesliga, Bayern sit third, two points behind leaders Freiburg. Viking, meanwhile, are locked in a close contest with Bodö Glimt to win the Eliteserien.
