Dortmund
Barcelona’s impressive 22-game unbeaten run across all competitions isn’t expected to be threatened at home today.
These two sides already met earlier this season in the group stage, where Barca edged out a thrilling 3–2 win over Dortmund.
In terms of absences, Barcelona will be without Casado, Olmo, and Ter Stegen, while Dortmund are missing Gross, Sabitzer, and Schlotterbeck.
The latter three are key figures for the German side, and their absence especially in defense could significantly impact Dortmund’s stability at the back.
What we say
Barcelona to Win
We expect Barcelona to take a slightly more cautious approach this time around, focusing on controlling the game and limiting Dortmund’s chances in front of goal.
Even if Dortmund manage to continue their streak of scoring in each of their last 11 Champions League away matches, it’s unlikely to be enough.
This Barcelona side is expected to secure a comfortable win, with a margin of at least two goals, putting themselves in a strong position heading into the return leg.
