📋 Team News: Borussia Dortmund

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Borussia Dortmund boss Niko Kovač to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Niklas Süle (Toe injury) is sidelined. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Patrick Drewes and Salih Özcan.

It’s our opinion that Dortmund could make use of the 3-4-2-1 formation this time and select Gregor Kobel, Aaron Anselmino, Emre Can, Ramy Bensebaini, Yan Couto, Marcel Sabitzer, Jobe Bellingham, Maximilian Beier, Julian Brandt, Fabio Silva and Serhou Guirassy.

🗞️ Team News: Bodo Glimt

We’re of the thinking that Glimt appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 lineup, going with Nikita Haikin, Fredrik Sjoevold, O. Luraas Bjoertuft, Haitam Aleesami, F. Andre Bjoerkan, Haakon Evjen, Patrick Berg, Sondre Brunstad Fet, Ole Blomberg, Kasper Waarts Hoegh and Jens Petter Hauge.

💡 Prediction

For this match, we think that Borussia Dortmund will most probably be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.

At the other end, Bodo Glimt will be up against it to find the back of the net - but, we do see them being dangerous at times, too.

We can therefore see a 3-1 winning margin for Borussia Dortmund at the end of the match.
