Borussia Dortmund takes on Bodo/Glimt in a high stakes continental fixture on Wednesday evening.
Bodo/Glimt face their first match since narrowly missing out on Norwegian title glory at the end of November while Dortmund return to European business after a comfortable Bundesliga win against Hoffenheim on Sunday.
Now set for their first-ever meeting, the German hosts come into this UCL contest as odds-on-favourites to claim the points on Wednesday.
Borussia Dortmund team overview
Borussia Dortmund turns their attention to the Champions League after a comfortable 2:0 win against Hoffenheim on Sunday. Goals from Julian Brandt and Nico Schlotterbeck either side of half-time secured victory for BVB.
Niko Kovač's side have been in fine form since the start of the season, both domestically and in the Champions League. Dortmund sit third in the Bundesliga, having won eight and lost just one of 13 games played. In the UCL, BVB find themselves sixth with three wins and just one defeat from five games.
A strong home record can usually be relied upon when Dortmund are in Champions League action. Dortmund claimed victories in three of their last four games at Signal Iduna Park, and in five of their last six home UCL fixtures.
Head coach Kovac is unlikely to make changes from the side that eased past Hoffenheim last weekend. Niklas Süle is the only confirmed absentee for the Germans.

Bodo/Glimt team overview
Bodo/Glimt make the trip to Germany after narrowly missing out on a third-successive Eliteserien title. Despite a 5:0 win against Frederikstad in their final game of the season, the Yellow Horde finished one point behind new champions Viking Stavanger.
Still searching for their first-ever win in the UCL, league phase, the Norwegians sit 32nd in the competition, with just two points picked up from five games played. Kjetil Knutsen's side slipped to a 3:2 home defeat against Juventus in their most recent fixture.
High-scoring outcomes can usually be relied upon when Bodo/Glimt are involved. All but one of their last ten games finished with a minimum of three goals scored.
The Norwegians are usually a reliable choice to get on the scoresheet, and they could bring up a BTTS pick on Wednesday. Four of the Norwegians' last five UCL games finished with both teams on the scoresheet.
Head coach Knutsen has a near-fully fit squad available ahead of the trip to Germany. Jostein Gundersen misses out due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Prediction
Dortmund are usually a reliable force in home UCL matches, and I expect the Bundesliga side to maintain their winning form on Wednesday.
A home win is my best bet for what should prove an entertaining and likely high-scoring contest at Signal Iduna Park.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Borussia Dortmund to Win
- Borussia Dortmund won 5 of their last 6 home matches (Champions League, league phase)
- Borussia Dortmund won 3 of their last 4 matches
- Bodo/Glimt lost 3 of their last 6 matches
