Barcelona v Borussia Dortmund Preview & Betting Tips
UEFA Champions League – KO: 19:00 UTC | Camp Nou
Barcelona- 1.37
Draw- 5.20
Dortmund- 7.80
Barcelona welcome Borussia Dortmund to the Camp Nou on Wednesday night for a Champions League quarter-final first leg, and all signs point to another high-scoring European night in the Catalan capital.
Barcelona Building Momentum at the Right Time
Barca come into this clash flying. Hansi Flick’s side are unbeaten in 22 matches across all competitions (W18, D4), showing renewed energy and attacking intent in recent weeks. With 4+ goals scored in 4 of their 5 UCL home games this season, the signs suggest more fireworks could be on the way in this first leg.
They’ve dispatched teams like Brest (3-0), Bayern (4-1), and Young Boys (5-0) at home in this campaign and they’ll back themselves to get on the front foot early again.
Dortmund Showing Fight in Europe
Domestically, it’s been a rocky season for Dortmund, but they’ve performed with more conviction in Europe. BVB arrive on the back of a 7-goal haul in their last two matches and showed they could hurt Barca when these sides met in the group stage, netting twice in a narrow 3-2 defeat.
However, their recent 5-2 loss at the Bernabéu is a clear reminder of how exposed they can be against top opposition away from home.
Players to Watch
Robert Lewandowski has 9 goals in 10 UCL matches this season and knows this Dortmund side well — scoring 27 times in 26 matches against them since leaving in 2014. He’s well priced to get on the scoresheet again at 1.80 with Instant Casino.
