- Kick-off: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
- Venue: Aspmyra Stadion
Bodø/Glimt got absolutely demolished 5-0 by Bayern Munich last month. I still can't believe how easily they rolled over. Thankfully, bouncing back at home is totally doable since they've won five straight European games on their own synthetic turf. Dortmund managed a tight 3-2 victory in their opener, meaning the Germans are hunting another crucial result. This will be a frosty, high-octane thriller. Let’s dig into the best betting angles.

These teams have met just once before, battling to a thrilling 2-2 draw in Germany during the 2025 UEFA Champions League league phase. Julian Brandt scored twice for Dortmund, while Jens Petter Hauge secured the equalizer for the Norwegians.
Bodø/Glimt team overview
Bodø/Glimt prepares for this one on the back of a reassuring 3-1 domestic win over Kristiansund. The Superlaget needs that momentum. They took Europe by storm earlier this year, famously stunning giants like Manchester City and Atletico Madrid at home before a deep Champions League knockout run.
Domestically, Kjetil Knutsen’s men are flying through their league season. They’ve racked up 17 wins from 22 league matches to sit second in the table. It’s an incredibly tight title race, though.
Switching focus to their home form, the Norwegians are practically unstoppable inside the Aspmyra Stadion. They are currently riding a fierce five-match winning streak on their own synthetic turf in Champions League fixtures.
Forward Andreas Helmersen has been a vital spark, racking up 12 goals across all competitions this season. He didn't start the last match, but he came off the bench to score a late sealer. Unfortunately, midfield maestro Håkon Evjen is a massive absentee due to injury.

Borussia Dortmund team overview
Borussia Dortmund prepares for this one on the back of a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Werder Bremen. Die Schwarzgelben are adjusting well under fresh leadership.
Niko Kovač’s men reached the ultimate heights in Europe two seasons ago by spectacularly battling all the way to the 2024 Champions League final. This term, they've started beautifully.
They have collected an impressive 13 points from their opening 5 league games and beat Villarreal in their opening European game.
On the road, they are on a four-match winning run across all competitions. Serhou Guirassy has been the absolute centerpiece, racking up an impressive six goal contributions already.
Kovac will navigate this one without the services of Emre Can, Justin Lerma, Giannis Konstantelias and Julian Ryerson who are injured.

Prediction
History repeats itself. I am predicting another wild 2-2 draw here, mirroring their classic meeting last season. Bodø/Glimt are absolute monsters on their own freezing synthetic pitch, so they'll definitely push the pace and score goals. Dortmund's attack is also flying. Still, both defenses have looked incredibly leaky lately. It's going to be a completely breathless, end-to-end battle, and I don't think either side does enough to win it.
Three reasons we expect over 1.5 goals in the second half of this game
- All the last 16 games of Bodo/Glimt finished with three or more goals.
- Bodo/Glimt scored 3+ goals in each of their last seven home games.
- Dortmund scored two or more goals in seven of their last eight matches.
Main prediction -
Over 1.5 goals 2nd half
