Hosts Hoping to Repeat their UCL Run from the Last Season
Bodo/Glimt kept their net intact for 47 minutes against Bayern Munich in the UCL opening round but then collapsed defensively, suffering a heavy 5-0 loss while failing to register a single shot on target.
The Yellow Horde also faced difficulties on their domestic front, losing 2-1 to Brann on 20th September, which caused them to drop to second position behind Viking with eight rounds left to be played.
They returned to winning ways last weekend after beating Kristiansund 3-1 in front of the home crowd, ending this clash with 3.97-0.21 expected goals, 78% possession and 25-4 shots.
BVB Having a Strong Campaign so Far
Borussia Dortmund collected three points in their UCL opener, deservedly beating Villarreal 3-2 at Signal Iduna Park where Serhou Guirassy was the hero netting a brace.
Speaking of their Bundesliga affairs, BVB kicked things off with a 2-0 win over Hamburg, followed by victories against Hoffenheim 3-2, Paderborn 3-0 and Stuttgart 1-0. Fabio Silva and Guirassy scored four goals each in these encounters and added a couple of assists to their names as well.
This fantastic streak came to an end last Friday where Niko Kovac's side had a 2-0 lead against Werder Bremen heading into stoppage time but shockingly conceded two goals, the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
