REF’s picks

Bayern Munich arrive in Stavanger boasting an immense attacking arsenal capable of dismantling even the most resolute defences. While Viking FK will be highly motivated on home soil, the gulf in class suggests a dominant display from the German giants.

1. 1Bayern's frontline has been ruthless, recently putting seven past Union Berlin and five past Bodo/Glimt.
2. 2Viking FK showed defensive frailties in their 3-1 defeat to Stuttgart, which Bayern's lethal attack will ruthlessly exploit.
3. 3An early goal for the visitors could force Viking to chase the game, potentially opening the floodgates entirely.
