Bodo/Glimt host Borussia Dortmund at Aspmyra Stadion on Wednesday, chasing their first Champions League points of 2026-27. The Norwegians lost 5-0 at Bayern Munich, while Dortmund arrive unbeaten in seven matches.
Bodo/Glimt Will Rely On Their Dominance At Aspmyra Stadion
Bodo/Glimt held reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich at 0-0 until half-time in their Champions League opener, then conceded five after the break. However, the hosts should be boosted by their return to Aspmyra Stadion, where they defeated opponents such as Inter Milan and Manchester City during the 2025-26 UCL season.
The Norwegian club will undoubtedly rely on their home strength to get a positive result here. They’ve lost just one of their previous 20 competitive matches in this venue (W19). However, they're winless in four games against German competition (D2, L2).
Bodo will have Nikita Haikin between the posts after he missed the UCL opener with a groin injury, but will miss Odin Bjørtuft due to suspension.
Bodo/Glimt predicted lineup vs Borussia Dortmund (4-3-3): Haikin; Sjøvold, Aleesami, Gundersen, Bjørkan; Auklend, Berg, Brunstad Fet; Blomberg, Helmersen, Hauge
Dortmund Arrive Unbeaten in Seven With a Perfect Away Record
Dortmund opened the 2026-27 season with a 2-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup, but they haven’t lost since then. They went on a six-game winning streak across all competitions until their 2-2 draw against Werder Bremen this past weekend. That run included a 3-2 win over Villarreal in their 2026-27 UCL opener at Signal Iduna Park.
Borussia have won all three away matches this season, scoring nine goals and conceding two. That record makes them favourites against one of Europe's best home sides of the last 12 months.
The guests are missing Emre Can and Giannis Konstantelias due to long-term injuries, while Julian Ryerson (ribs) is considered questionable but expected to play. Serhou Guirassy should lead the attacking line.
Borussia Dortmund predicted lineup vs Bodo/Glimt (3-4-2-1): Kobel; Gadou, Anton, Schlotterbeck; Ryerson, Veerman, Nmecha, Svensson; Karetsas, Beier; Guirassy
Bodo/Glimt vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
- Safe Tip: Over 2.5 total goals
- Odds: 1.37 (22Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Bodo/Glimt 2-2 Borussia Dortmund
- 22Bet Booking Code: 3V575
Key stats:
- Each of Bodo/Glimt’s last 16 matches has seen over 2.5 goals.
- Five of Dortmund’s last six games in all competitions have hit that mark.
- The previous head-to-head meeting was a 2-2 draw in the 2025-26 UCL.
The last time one of Bodo/Glim’s matches hit the under on the 2.5-goal market was July 17. Including the UCL qualifying rounds, their five European fixtures this season have seen over 2.5 goals, and three of those also had both teams scoring.
Two of Dortmund’s last three European fixtures have also had at least three goals, and last season’s 2-2 draw in Borussia shows both attacks can hurt each other. The main risk is a cagey 1-0, but Over 2.5 goals at 1.37 is the logical play.
Bodo/Glimt vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction, Value Tip
- Value Tip: Bodo/Glimt or draw (double chance)
- Odds: 1.793 (22Bet)
- 22Bet Booking Code: SQN75
Bodo/Glimt are outsiders at 3.17 against Dortmund’s 2.06, but the double chance market offers excellent value. With just one loss in their last 20 competitive home matches, they’ve turned Aspmyra Stadion into a fortress.
Dortmund have the stronger squad, but the market underrates Nikita Haikin’s return: Bayern failed to score in the 45 minutes he played in Munich. With him back, Bodo/Glimt or draw at 1.793 is the value play.
Verdict: Over 2.5 goals (1.37) — Bodo/Glimt 2-2 Borussia Dortmund.
