DortmundBodø/Glimt

The main problem for the visitors is the left side of the defense: due to rotation there and Gundersen's suspension, Sjovold is expected to start, which favors Brandt's quick right-side breakthroughs. Motivation-wise, this is almost decisive: a Dortmund win almost certainly puts them in the top 8, while Glimt's last hope for advancing lies on the result. The main question is how much the Norwegians' possession game will hold up under the pressure of Signal Iduna Park. Based on the numbers, we expect a goal distribution around 2.8-1.0, pointing to a goal-rich match with home dominance on the horizon. A minor uncertainty factor is Dortmund's new defensive pair (Süle injured, Anselmino inexperienced), so a guest goal cannot be completely ruled out.
