Borussia Dortmund will host Bodo/Glimt at Signal Iduna Park in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. Dortmund have won three of their five games in the competition and have an eight-point lead over Glimt.
The hosts recorded their first win of the month last week, defeating Hoffenheim 2-0 at home in the Bundesliga. Julian Brandt broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute, and Nico Schlotterbeck doubled their lead in the 60th minute. They faced Villarreal in their previous Champions League outing and secured a 4-0 home win.
The visitors will play their first match of the month here. They last met Fredrikstad in the Eliteserien and registered a comfortable 5-0 home win. They suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat against Juventus in the Champions League last month.
