Borussia Dortmund vs Bodo/Glimt prediction
Borussia Dortmund bounced back in ideal fashion from their beating at the hands of Man City with a 4-0 thrashing of Villarreal, Serhou Guirassy bagging a brace to lift the German giants up into the top ten. Three points here should be enough to parachute them into that all-important top eight and an automatic qualification spot into the round of 16 with two league phase games left to play.
Bodo/Glimt are in last chance saloon really, having only managed to accrue two points so far in the league phase. They are one of five clubs yet to taste victory and have lost each of their last three games, conceding seven goals in the process. The most recent of those defeats was a 2-3 heartbreaker at home to Juventus.
The reality is that Borussia Dortmund are a significantly superior team both in terms of individual ability and team play. Expect the hosts to dominate most of the game and create plenty of big opportunities through the likes of Guirassy, Julian Brandt and others. Any outcome other than victory for Dortmund would be seen as a big surprise.
