Dortmund have their own story to tell. After losing the Super Cup to Bayern, they've won six matches in a row across the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal and Champions League, including a win away at Stuttgart and a 3-2 victory over Villarreal in this competition.

Something has to give, with both sides on strong runs heading into this one.

Comparative Team Statistics: Bodo/Glimt vs Borussia Dortmund

One meeting, and it finished level

Bodo/Glimt and Dortmund have met once recently, in last season's league phase, and it finished 2-2. That's the only meeting we have on record, so it's not much of a guide, but it does show both sides are capable of scoring against each other.

Early days in the league phase

Both clubs are still finding their feet in this season's league phase table. Dortmund sit 12th after beating Villarreal 3-2 in their opener, while Bodo/Glimt are down in 36th following a heavy 0-5 defeat away at Bayern München. With just one match played each, that table doesn't tell us a great deal yet.

It's too early to read much into the table, but Dortmund have made the better start.

Hauge pulling the strings for Bodo/Glimt

Goals could be on the cards

Goals have followed both sides around lately. Bodo/Glimt have scored 54 times in their last 20 matches, while Dortmund have managed 40 in the same span. Neither side is watertight at the back either, so an open game wouldn't be a surprise.
