Bodo/Glimt vs Borussia Dortmund Preview, prediction, injury news & lineups | Champions League 2026-27

The only outing between the two clubs ended in a 2-2 draw!

For their second league phase clash of the UEFA Champions League 2026-27 campaign, Bodo/Glimt are all set to have a face-off against Borussia Dortmund. This contest is ready to take place at the Aspmyra Stadion.

The Superlaget failed to begin their UCL campaign on a positive note. They faced a dominant 0-5 loss at the hands of German giants, Bayern Munich. It was an underwhelming performance by Kjetil Knutsen’s men. They will have a chance to bounce back in the elite European competition.

Bodo/Glimt must do a lot more in their upcoming contest. They are going to be the hosts in the next one, giving them some advantage.

Borussia Dortmund have come up with some top performances this season. They are now undefeated in their last seven games and will be eager to keep it that way. Their performances in the domestic competitions have been quite good.

Niko Kovač’s men secured three points with a 3-2 victory against Villarreal in their opening game of the UEFA Champions League 2026-27 edition. They will now be looking to extend their winning run. Despite being away from home, BVB are going to be confident.
