Viking

Tuesday's visit of Bayern Munich is expected to bring a formation switch for Viking, from the 4-4-2 used against Brann to a 4-3-3. Jesper Daland is pencilled in at left centre-back ahead of Henrik Falchener, who started three of the last four matches, while Tobias Moi, who made just one start in that spell, is in line for a recall in midfield. Erik Botheim, who scored twice in three starts over the same period, is expected to miss out.

Arild Østbø is set to continue between the posts. Peter Christiansen leads the attacking numbers from the last four matches with three goals and an assist, while Henrik Bjørdal has added three assists from the right. Viking lost 1-3 away to VfB Stuttgart on the opening matchday.

Bayern Munich

Jamal Musiala remains sidelined by a muscle injury for the trip to Viking, having started only twice in the last five matches and sitting out against Augsburg. Konrad Laimer looks set to start at right-back instead of Josip Stanišić, while Lennart Karl is expected to come into the side with Musiala absent.

Michael Olise has five goals and two assists in the last five matches and is set to keep his place out wide alongside Luis Díaz. Manuel Neuer is expected to retain his place in goal after starting four of those five games. Ismael Saibari, substituted in each of his three starts during that run, looks set to miss out on the attacking midfield spot.
