Borussia Dortmund welcomes Bodo/Glimt to the iconic Yellow Wall for an exciting midweek Champions League clash. If you are considering a solid betting opportunity, we suggest leaning towards a decisive home victory. Backing Dortmund on the Asian handicap at minus two is an attractive option, as your stake is returned if they win by exactly two goals, with profit for any greater margin. At odds of -100, this bet could be a better pick than the hot chocolate offered in the stands, given that the players also feel the chill when December arrives.
Recent Form
Dortmund is coming off a 2-0 victory against Hoffenheim at Signal Iduna Park. They registered four shots on target and managed to make the most of their 44 percent possession, securing a win that highlighted their efficiency. Julian Brandt and Nico Schlotterbeck contributed with a goal each, boosting the team’s confidence as they play on their home turf.
On the other hand, Bodo/Glimt enjoyed an impressive 5-0 win over Fredrikstad in the Norwegian league. Dominating possession with 61 percent, they created nine goal attempts, with Jens Petter Hauge being one of five different scorers. However, their Champions League record is less convincing, marked by a narrow 3-2 loss to Juventus, which left them in pursuit of better results.
Betting Insights
Diving into the statistics, Dortmund has covered the minus-two line in five of their last ten home matches. While bookmakers suggest a 50 percent chance of success for this bet, our analysis indicates a slightly better probability of around 60 percent. This edge makes us confident to back this wager.
