Borussia Dortmund aim to make it two wins from two in the Champions League on Wednesday, as they travel to face Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt. 

After beating Villarreal 3-2 at Signal Iduna Park last month, BVB's Champions League form matched their league form, and Niko Kovac earned a new deal after an unbeaten start to the season. 

After five matches, Die Schwarzgelben sit second in the Bundesliga standings, but they did drop from top spot over the weekend after Niclas Füllkrug scored a late equaliser for Werder Bremen on Friday. 

Opponents Bodø/Glimt also sit second in the league, though they have played 17 more matches. 

With eight to go, they sit level on 53 points with Viking Stavanger, who faced Stuttgart last time out in Europe, and face Bayern on Tuesday evening. 

Team news and predicted lineups 

Heading into Wednesday, the hosts will have to do without Magnus Bech Riisnæs, August Mikkelsen and Hajan Eujen, with all three out until the latter stages of this month. 

For Kovac, things are also tricky on the injury front. 

Julian Ryerson is a doubt ahead of the clash in his home country, after suffering an injury during the international break with Norway. 

Fillippo Mane and Justin Lerma should return this month, while Emre Can will have to wait until November. 

Giannis Konstantelias remains sidelined until the end of the season, after being forced off during the opening-weekend win against Hamburg.
