Bodø / Glimt host Borussia Dortmund at Aspmyra Stadion on Wednesday, October 14 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).
No fresh absences have emerged on either side, so Wednesday’s team news is mostly about who starts up front. Bodø/Glimt will lean on Andreas Klausen Helmersen and Ole Didrik Blomberg, both on 2 goals apiece this campaign, with Jens Petter Hauge providing width and Patrick Berg dictating tempo from midfield. Dortmund’s response is built around Serhou Guirassy, who struck twice in a single appearance, with Marcel Sabitzer, Maximilian Beier and Jobe Bellingham among the attacking midfield options expected to feature.
This looks like a game with goals in it rather than a backs-to-the-wall knockout battle. Bodø/Glimt’s attack is spread across six different contributors who’ve each scored at least once already, while Dortmund’s threat is more concentrated up top this early in the competition. Expect end-to-end moments at both boxes, with Bodø/Glimt’s home platform the difference-maker in a tight finish.

- Patrick Berg (Bodø / Glimt): A goal and 2 assists from midfield, plus 11 shots of his own, shows he’s as much a goal threat as a creator.
- Serhou Yadaly Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund): Scored two goals in his only appearance so far, needing just six shots to do it — the one game-breaker Bodø/Glimt have to contain.

Bodø / Glimt vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
Dortmund travel to Norway on 3 points from their league-phase opener and a +1 goal difference, while Bodø/Glimt’s position in the table is still taking shape through form alone, a sequence of D D W W L that’s brought goals at both ends more often than not. Expect that trend to continue: Bodø/Glimt’s spread of scorers edges it at home, Guirassy ensures Dortmund hit back, and it finishes 2-1 to the hosts, with goals flowing across the full 90 minutes.
