"Kovac insisted that his Borussia Dortmund side must not underestimate Bodo/Glimt when they face each other in the Champions League on Wednesday. Dortmund welcome the Norwegian side to Signal Iduna Park this week, and win could prove valuable in their quest to finish in the top eight of the league phase. They sit sixth in the standings heading into matchday six, winning 10 points so far, but they could find themselves as high as second should they register a victory."
"Dortmund have lost one of their previous 20 home matches in the Champions League (W13 D6), netting 45 goals in that period, conceding only 12 and keeping 11 clean sheets. Bodo, however, are winless in their last eight games in major European competition (D2 L6) since beating Lazio in the Europa League in April last season. But Dortmund boss Kovac believes Bodo will pose a bigger threat than anticipated, despite sitting 32nd in the league phase and in a poor run of form in Europe."
Niko Kovac warned Borussia Dortmund not to underestimate Bodo/Glimt ahead of their Champions League meeting at Signal Iduna Park. Dortmund sit sixth in the group with 10 points and can rise to second with a win on matchday six. Dortmund have lost one of their previous 20 home Champions League matches, scoring 45 and conceding 12 with 11 clean sheets in that span. Bodo are winless in eight major European matches since April and sit 32nd in the group phase. Kovac highlighted Bodo's quick transitions and the recent rise of Norwegian football, urging tactical solutions.
