Viking vs Bayern München — Tips & Analysis

Over 4.25: Goals follow both of these teams around. Bayern's games have averaged more than 4 goals in total, and 12 of their last 15 had 3 or more. Viking do not sit back either. They have won their last seven home games, scoring almost 4 goals a game in Stavanger. They have also had 3 or more goals in 15 of their last 19 games. Viking beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-1 at home, so they will come out and play. Bayern are a class above and score more than 3 goals a game. They are loose on their travels though. They let in more than a goal a game away from home and drew 2-2 at Augsburg three days ago. Viking are missing six players, including defenders Bjorshol and Roseth, so Bayern will find space behind them. Here is the honest part. A 1-3 Bayern win is the likeliest score, and that is four goals, so this wants a fifth. Against a patched-up back line that still pushes forward, that is a fair ask. The risk is Bayern easing off once the game is safe. They had a 0-0 at Schalke before the Augsburg tie, and Viking's big home scores came against weaker teams, including an 8-1 win over Kristiansund. We still want the open, busy game here.
