BVB v FK Bodö/Glimt: probable starting line-ups | OneFootball

On Wednesday from 9 PM, the match between Borussia Dortmund and FK Bodö/Glimt will take place at Signal Iduna Park, marking the last Champions League game of the year. Naturally, the home team is considered the clear favorite in this home game, but one should generally be cautious of the Norwegians. Here are the expected starting lineups.

Furthermore, Dortmund's coach Niko Kovac only has Niklas Süle unavailable. The Kicker sees BVB starting with the following lineup this time:

Gregor Kobel – Aaron Anselmino, Emre Can, Ramy Bensebaini – Yan Couto, Marcel Sabitzer, Jobe Bellingham, Maximilian Beier – Julian Brandt, Fabio Silva – Serhou Guirassy

If Julian Brandt indeed plays, he would make an interesting step forward regarding the record numbers in the club's history.

It's unlikely that Nico Schlotterbeck will be rotated out of the top tier of the team given the expected opponent.

Looking at BVB's record against Norwegian clubs, there have been an average of 5.5 goals in the six encounters so far. BVB lost only one of these six duels, drew one, and won the remaining four matches. Additionally, BVB's excellent home record in the Champions League is a plus. They have lost only one of their last 20 home games, with six ending in draws.

In terms of standings, the guests are under pressure to score in Dortmund. On the other hand, it would hardly be held against the team if they exit the Champions League after the group stage. Therefore, a cautiously acting guest can certainly be expected. The Kicker expects FK Bodö/Glimt on Wednesday with this lineup:

Nikita Haikin – Frederik Sjövold, Odin Björtuft, Haitam Aleesami, Frederik Björkan – Patrick Berg – Haakon Evjen, Sondre Fet – Ole Blomberg, Andreas Helmersen, Jens Petter Hauge

The odds set by bookmakers for different match outcomes are quite clear. For a bet on a home win, they are around 1.27. For a victory by the guests, double-digit values are even reached, ranging from 9.00 to 10.50.

For the Norwegians, this is their debut season in the Champions League. The two clubs have never faced each other in other European competitions either.
