Borussia Dortmund is set to face Norwegian club Bodø/Glimt in a crucial Champions League match tonight at 9 PM, with the game available to stream on DAZN and via a live ticker on BILD. The stakes are high for Dortmund, as they look to secure a victory against a team that has struggled in the tournament, managing only 2 points from 2 draws and 3 losses so far.
Head coach Niko Kovac has made significant changes to his starting lineup compared to last Sunday’s Bundesliga match, where Dortmund secured a 2-0 victory against Hoffenheim. The German side will see four new faces on the pitch, with the most notable omission being striker Sehrou Guirassy, who starts the match on the bench. Instead, Fabio Silva will take the lead in the attacking role.
Joining Silva in the starting lineup are new additions Bensebaini, Bellingham, and Beier, who replace Sabitzer—who is sidelined due to injury—along with Svensson and Adeyemi. These changes reflect Kovac’s strategic approach as Dortmund aims to make a significant step toward direct qualification for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
The expected lineup for Dortmund includes goalkeeper Kobel, defenders Anselmino, Anton, and Schlotterbeck, with Couto, Bellingham, Nmecha, and Bensebaini making up the midfield. The attacking trio will feature Brandt, Beier, and Silva leading the forward line.
On the other hand, Bodø/Glimt will look to turn their fortunes around from the disappointing run in the tournament, fielding their own starting XI with Haikin in goal, followed by defenders Sjøvold, Bjørtuft, Aleesami, and Bjørkan. The midfield will consist of Evjen, Berg, and Brunstadt Fet, while the offensive trio of Blomberg, Høgh, and Hauge will aim to put pressure on Dortmund’s defense.
As the match approaches, anticipation builds for what could be a pivotal moment in Borussia Dortmund’s Champions League campaign. Fans are hopeful that their team can fulfill the expectations placed upon them and secure a vital three points.
