Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Borussia Dortmund vs Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 20:00 GMT match.

Borussia Dortmund are coming into this match with a strong home record, having recently thrashed Villarreal 4-0. Their attacking prowess was evident in their last few games, scoring four goals in four of their last five matches. Bodo/Glimt, on the other hand, have struggled recently, failing to win any of their last five games and conceding multiple goals in most of them. This suggests that Dortmund's attacking line could exploit Bodo/Glimt's defensive frailties.
However, Bodo/Glimt have shown they can be resilient, drawing two of their matches against strong opposition. If they can tighten up at the back and capitalise on any Dortmund complacency, they might keep the scoreline respectable. Still, Dortmund's form and home advantage should see them through to a comfortable victory.
Borussia Dortmund have been in fine form recently, winning three of their last five matches and scoring prolifically. Their 4-0 home win against Villarreal and 4-2 away victory against FC Copenhagen highlight their attacking strength. Even their loss to Manchester City was a high-scoring affair, showing their ability to create chances. This run of form should give them confidence going into this match.
Recent UEFA Champions League Results:
Bodo/Glimt have had a tough run lately, losing three of their last five games and drawing the other two. Their defence has been particularly leaky, conceding three goals against Juventus and Galatasaray. The draws against Tottenham and Slavia Praha show some resilience, but overall, their form suggests they will struggle against a strong Dortmund side.
Recent UEFA Champions League Results:
There is no head-to-head record available for these two teams, making this an intriguing matchup with no historical data to draw upon. Both teams will be looking to establish dominance in this first encounter. Without past results to guide us, the focus will be on current form and tactical setups.
Niklas Süle (Toe) - Out
Ola Brynhildsen (Knee) - Doubt
Predicted lineup: Kobel (GK), Schlotterbeck (DF), Anton (DF), Anselmino (DF), Couto (DF), Nmecha (MF), Sabitzer (MF), Svensson (MF), Adeyemi (MF), Brandt (MF), Guirassy (AT)
Borussia Dortmund are expected to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Kobel in goal and a back three of Anselmino, Anton, and Schlotterbeck. This setup should allow them to dominate possession and push forward with Nmecha and Sabitzer in midfield, supporting the attacking duo of Adeyemi and Brandt behind Guirassy.
Predicted lineup: Haikin (GK), Sjovold (DF), Bjortuft (DF), Aleesami (DF), Bjorkan (DF), Evjen (MF), Berg (MF), Brunstad Fet (MF), Maatta (AT), Blomberg (AT), Hogh (AT)
Bodo/Glimt are likely to stick with their 4-3-3 formation, with Haikin between the posts and a back four of Sjovold, Bjortuft, Aleesami, and Bjorkan. This formation should help them maintain a solid defensive shape while allowing Evjen, Berg, and Brunstad Fet to control the midfield and support the lone striker Hogh.
Karim Adeyemi vs Haitam Aleesami: Karim Adeyemi's pace and directness will test Aleesami's defensive capabilities.
Daniel Svensson vs Hakon Evjen: Svensson's midfield control will be crucial in neutralising Evjen's influence.
Felix Nmecha (Borussia Dortmund): Nmecha's ability to break up play and distribute the ball will be vital for Dortmund's midfield dominance.
Patrick Berg (Bodo/Glimt): Berg's role in the midfield will be key to Bodo/Glimt's chances of controlling the game's tempo.
