Bodo/Glimt to host Borussia Dortmund at Aspmyra Stadion in UEFA Champions League on October 14
Bodo/Glimt will host Borussia Dortmund at the Aspmyra Stadion on October 14 in the second league phase match of the UEFA Champions League 2026-27, the clubs confirmed ahead of the fixture.
Bodo/Glimt began their campaign with a 0-5 defeat to Bayern Munich, a result head coach Kjetil Knutsen described as underwhelming in the source report, and they return home seeking a response. Borussia Dortmund, led by Niko Kovač, arrive unbeaten in their last seven matches and opened their Champions League account with a 3-2 victory against Villarreal.
Jens Petter Hauge did not score in his previous league appearance, though the report noted his attacking contribution was noticeable; the article adds he will be looking to step up to help his side secure their first win of the UEFA Champions League 2026-27 season. The piece also identifies a 30-year-old forward as a central figure for Borussia Dortmund in the final third, noting he scored a sensational brace in the previous outing against Villarreal.
Serhou Guirassy is listed to operate as the sole striker for Dortmund and is described in the report as a persistent threat to opponents’ defence. The preview reiterates Dortmund’s confidence stemming from current form and frames Guirassy as a focal point of their attacking setup.
Bodo/Glimt are set to be without Magnus Bech Riisnaes, Hakon Evjen and August Mikkelsen as they are declared not fit enough for selection. Borussia Dortmund are missing Filippo Mane, Justin Lerma, Giannis Konstantelias and Emre Can through injury, while Julian Ryerson’s inclusion remains unconfirmed due to fitness concerns.
The article provides the projected starting XIs as follows: Haikin (GK); Sjovold, Nielsen, Bjortuft, Bjorkan; Kitolano, Berg, Fer; Auklend, Helmersen, Hauge for Bodo/Glimt, and Kobel (GK); Gadou, Anton, Svensson; Reggiani, Bellingham, Nmecha, Beier; Karetsas, Sabitzer; Guirassy for Borussia Dortmund.
Despite Bodo/Glimt hosting the match, the preview states the home side will face pressure and have a lot to do, while Borussia Dortmund enter the fixture full of confidence and are tipped to maintain their run. The written prediction in the source forecasts a 1-3 win for Borussia Dortmund.
The Aspmyra Stadion will host the clash on October 14 (BST).
