Bodo/Glimt host Borussia Dortmund with Champions League form in the balance
Bodo/Glimt and Borussia Dortmund meet again in the UEFA Champions League, this time at Aspmyra Stadion for matchday two of the league stage, less than a year after the two sides shared a 2-2 draw in their previous meeting in December 2025.
That earlier contest, also played in the Champions League, offers a reminder that neither side found it straightforward against the other, and both will arrive for the rematch with recent results to build on.
Form on both sides
Bodo/Glimt go into the match with three wins and two defeats from their last five outings, a record that shows both their ability to win matches and a tendency to drop points along the way. Dortmund, by contrast, have lost none of their last five, winning four and drawing one, a run that puts them marginally ahead of their hosts in terms of recent results.
That difference is modest rather than decisive, and Bodo/Glimt's three wins in the sample matches Dortmund's own consistency closely enough to keep the tie competitive on paper.
What is at stake
With the league phase only two matchdays old, points collected now will carry weight later in the competition, and both clubs will be eager to avoid the kind of slip that leaves ground to make up. For Bodo/Glimt, a positive result at home would build on the pattern of wins already shown this season, while Dortmund will look to extend their unbeaten run into continental competition.
Given how the sides finished level when they last met, there is little in the numbers to suggest an easy passage for either team, and the match is likely to be shaped by which side can turn its underlying form into a result on the pitch.
