Borussia Dortmund vs Bodø/Glimt prediction, H2H and probable lineups – December 10, 2025
One of the highlight fixtures of Matchday 6 in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League group stage will take place on Wednesday at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, where the local side Borussia Dortmund hosts Norwegian outfit Bodø/Glimt. I’m offering a prediction on the outcome of this clash with excellent odds for success.
Match preview
Borussia Dortmund have hit their stride in the Champions League group stage, cruising to a commanding 4-0 victory over Villarreal in the previous round. That match marked the first time in a while that Dortmund managed a clean sheet. Nevertheless, defensive issues remain: the club has the weakest backline among the top eight teams, but their attack continues to fire on all cylinders—17 goals in five matches.
On home turf, Dortmund are rock-solid: they remain unbeaten at Signal Iduna Park in this year’s competition, consistently scoring at least twice per game. In fact, in nine of their last Champions League fixtures, goals have been scored in both halves, highlighting their high-tempo, aggressive style throughout the full 90 minutes.
Bodø/Glimt are struggling in the group stage: the Norwegian side has now gone six matches without a win, although their attacking output remains impressive. Only once in that stretch have they failed to find the net, but defensive lapses are frequent—they regularly concede two or more goals per game.
Playing away has proven even more challenging—just two wins in their last 11 Champions League road games. Still, Bodø/Glimt often carve out chances, netting one or two goals, even against higher-caliber opponents.
Probable lineups
- Borussia Dortmund: Kobel, Can, Anton, Schlotterbeck, Ryerson, Bellingham, Gross, Svensson, Chukwuemeka, Brandt, Guirassy.
- Bodø/Glimt: Haikin, Sjøvold, Bjørtuft, Nilsen, Bjørkan, Berg, Fet, Evjen, Saltnes, Hauge, Heg.
Match facts & head-to-head
- Borussia are unbeaten at home in the Champions League for six straight matches.
- Bodø/Glimt have lost 7 of their last 11 Champions League away games.
- Six of Bodø/Glimt’s last seven Champions League fixtures have featured at least three goals.
Prediction
Borussia Dortmund enter as clear favorites—at home, they’re relentless, always creating danger up front. Despite some defensive frailties, Dortmund’s attacking momentum remains undiminished. Bodø/Glimt, by contrast, are shaky at the back and often allow their opponents plenty of chances. Taking into account both teams’ recent form and stats, the optimal pick looks to be a home win in a high-scoring affair.
