Our prediction: Dortmund to win 2-1
Borussia Dortmund’s recent form is difficult to argue against. They have won four of their last five matches, losing none, and have scored in every one of those five games. Their two away games in that run both ended in victory, and they kept a clean sheet in one of those trips. The only blemish is a draw at home to Werder Bremen, which does at least show they are not infallible.
Bodø/Glimt have shown a willingness to score — finding the net in four of their last five — but they have shipped heavily at times, conceding twelve goals across those five matches, and they head into this one severely depleted. Bjørtuft is suspended following a red card, Evjen, Mikkelsen, Riisnæs and Sjong are all ruled out through injury, and Kitolano is doubtful with a knee problem. That is a considerable number of absentees for any side to absorb.
The one previous meeting between these clubs ended 2-2, with both teams scoring — so there is already a precedent for goals and competitiveness. Dortmund showed in that game they can be pegged back, but their overall trajectory since points to a narrow away win. The available price of 2.13 (1xBet) for a Dortmund victory represents fair value given the context.
Other tips
The case for both teams to score is strong. Bodø/Glimt scored in four of their last five, and their two home games in that spell both saw both teams score. Dortmund have also scored in every game over their last five, and both teams scored in four of Bodø/Glimt's last five overall. The only previous meeting produced a goal at each end, reinforcing the appeal of this market at 1.35.
On the same basis, over 2.5 goals looks a reasonable selection. Bodø/Glimt’s high-scoring home results and Dortmund’s habit of finding the net away from home make a three-goal game a realistic prospect, with the best price sitting at 1.36.
Finally, Borussia Dortmund over 1.5 goals is worth considering. Dortmund scored three in their Champions League home win over Villarreal and have been free-scoring throughout their recent run. Against a makeshift Bodø/Glimt defence, two or more Dortmund goals is a real possibility at 1.57.
