Bayern Munich face onerous autumn run after 3-3 draw at Viking Stavanger

Champions League trip to Norway kicks off tough stretch

A UEFA Champions League trip to Norway is an unenviable task at the best of times, but Tuesday’s 3-3 draw at Viking Stavanger was merely the start of a tough run of fixtures for Bayern Munich.

The draw in Stavanger opens a congested spell featuring games against the reigning Premier League champions, the current Bundesliga leaders and Bayern’s perennial rivals in Germany’s top flight.

Key fixtures ahead

After taking on free-scoring RB Leipzig on Matchday 6, Vincent Kompany’s side welcome English title-holders Arsenal to the Allianz Arena in the Champions League a week on Wednesday.

The fixture list then continues with a trip to Freiburg, who currently occupy top spot in the Bundesliga after dropping only two points from 15 available so far.
