Form guide

FK Bodo/Glimt enter this Champions League round 2 match sitting 36th in the 36-team table after one game, with no points from a 5-0 away defeat to Bayern Munich. Their overall recent form is mixed at WWLWL, but the last few weeks also include a 3-1 league win over Kristiansund BK and a 6-2 cup win at Rana FK, showing they can still score freely in domestic competition. At home, they have not yet played in this league phase.

Borussia Dortmund are 12th after taking three points from their opening match, with a record of one win and no draws or defeats. Their recent form is DWWWW, and they arrive unbeaten in their last five, including a 2-2 draw with Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, a 1-0 away win at Stuttgart, and a 3-0 home win over Paderborn 07. In the Champions League, they also beat Villarreal 3-2 before this fixture.

Head-to-head

The only head-to-head listed is a 2-2 draw between Borussia Dortmund and FK Bodo/Glimt on 10 December 2025 in the UEFA Champions League. That result suggests the matchup can be competitive, even if the current table positions point in different directions.

Key factors

• Bodo/Glimt’s Champions League start has been difficult: 0 points, 0 goals scored, and 5 conceded.
• Dortmund have already shown better balance in the competition, with 3 goals scored and 2 conceded from one match.
• The home side’s recent results include high-scoring games, which fits the market expectation for goals.
• Dortmund’s away win at Stuttgart and their unbeaten run in the last five underline a solid current level.
• Our model projects 1.91 expected goals for Bodo/Glimt and 1.71 for Dortmund, which supports a game with scoring chances at both ends.
• The match will be played at Aspmyra Stadion in Hakata, Norway, with Urs Schnyder as referee.

Our prediction

This is a prediction, not a certainty: Over 2.5 goals is our model’s tip, with a probability of 70%. The main risk is that Dortmund control the match well enough to limit Bodo/Glimt’s attacking output, which would reduce the total goal count.
