The numbers do the talking here, and they are loud. Bayern Munich have started the season with nine goals in three fixtures, they posted 122 goals in 34 Bundesliga games last season, and they scored 43 goals in 14 Champions League matches. That is not the profile of a side you want to bet against when it comes to goals. It is the profile of a machine that keeps creating chances, even when the names change.
So the angle for Bayern vs Bodø/Glimt is straightforward enough: Luis Diaz and Michael Olise have both been put up at 4/1 to score 2+ goals. That is a bold price, but it makes sense in the context of Bayern's attacking depth. Vincent Kompany rested several key players, including Harry Kane, on Saturday and still watched Bayern draw 0-0 with Schalke. Even that flat result should not distract from the bigger point: this squad can reshuffle, rotate and still carry serious firepower.
Why Diaz and Olise stand out
Luis Diaz has already scored once this season from chances worth 3.31 xG, which tells you two things at once: the opportunities are arriving, and the finishing could easily improve. Michael Olise has scored in each of Bayern Munich's previous three games, which is exactly the kind of run bettors love in a market like this. You are not just backing reputation. You are backing form, volume and a team that keeps asking the same question of opponents: can you live with us for 90 minutes?
That is where Bodø/Glimt enter the picture, and it is not especially comforting for them. They are midway through their domestic season, so they will not be short of rhythm, but they also conceded five goals across two legs against Union St Gilloise in the penultimate round of qualifying. Against elite opposition, and especially away from home, that kind of defensive record is a warning sign, not a footnote.
Why the substitution angle matters
This is also why Bayern can keep a scorer bet alive deep into the game. Kompany's squad is stacked with attacking options, and the source logic is simple: if one of Diaz or Olise does not hit early, Bayern can turn the screw through fresh legs. With Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry also part of the attacking conversation, the burden does not rest on one player to force the issue. That matters in goal-scorer betting because it gives the wager a second life when the game state shifts.
Bayern have already shown this season that the output is there, and last season's numbers were even more ruthless. When a team is putting up those totals, the market has to respect the possibility of multiple scorers getting in on the act. In that sense, 4/1 for 2+ goals on Diaz and Olise is less a wild punt than a neat reflection of how Bayern attack. It is not about hoping for a miracle. It is about backing a side that usually creates enough chaos to make this kind of bet look sensible.
Bodø/Glimt may have their own rhythm, but Bayern's ceiling is on another level. If the favourites get moving early, this one could quickly become less about the contest and more about which attacker cashes in first.
