Vincent Kompany has brought an attack-minded policy to Bayern Munich, and Chelsea know they will be under the cosh at Allianz Arena.
The Blues are expected to create chances themselves in this Champions League opener, but the German giants are formidable foes on home turf, winning all four league phase games here last term.
We like a BOYLE Sports price boost of 15/8 for the hosts to prevail and both teams to score as our first Bayern Munich vs Chelsea prediction.

Head To Head
Bayern Munich vs Chelsea head-to-head record
Chelsea famously beat Bayern on penalties in the 2012 Champions League final at Allianz Arena, but the German giants were emphatic 7-1 winners on aggregate when they last met in the 2019-20 knockout stage, before going on to lift the trophy.
Form Guide
Bayern Munich form guide
Kompany couldn’t have been accused of taking a cautious approach to last season’s Matchday 1 fixture, which saw Harry Kane score four times in a 9-2 rout of Dinamo Zagreb at this venue.
Bayern went on to reach the quarter-finals but were edged out 4-3 by Inter Milan.
Regaining the Bundesliga title from Bayer Leverkusen had been set out as Kompany’s top priority, though, and that mission was successfully completed by a 13-point margin.
They have begun the current campaign brightly with a German Super Cup triumph over Stuttgart and three straight league wins, smashing 11 goals past RB Leipzig and Hamburg here either side of a 3-2 success at Augsburg.
Experienced performers Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane and Eric Dier departed over the summer, but Liverpool winger Luis Diaz and Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson were exciting additions.
However, Kane is clearly the focal point up front, topping the Bundesliga scoring charts for the past two seasons and bagging 19 goals in 25 Champions League appearances for the club.
Looking at the Bayern Munich vs Chelsea odds, England captain Kane can be backed at 4/1 to net at least twice in this fixture.
Chelsea form guide
The Blues capitalised on a drop in class when claiming Conference League glory last season, coming from behind to beat Real Betis 4-1 in the final.
That was followed by an excellent Club World Cup triumph, with European champions PSG stunned 3-0 in the decider.
Another interesting transfer window saw big money spent on Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Jorrel Hato and Alejandro Garnacho, while the sky is the limit for 18-year-old Brazil international Estevao.
However, Enzo Maresca has yet to instil a clinical mentality into this talented team, as highlighted by Saturday’s 2-2 Premier League draw at Brentford.
This could well turn into an action-packed, end-to-end encounter, but preference is for a 3-1 home win at 10/1 in our Bayern Munich vs Chelsea betting tips.
