Dortmund v Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips

Tuesday | 19:00 UTC | Signal Iduna Park | Champions League

Borussia Dortmund host Barcelona on Tuesday night in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final, and it’s going to take something special to keep their European dream alive. After a ruthless 4-0 defeat in the first leg, the German side have it all to do under the lights at Signal Iduna Park.

Dortmund Playing for Pride?

It’s a four-goal deficit and a mountain to climb for Niko Kovac’s men. But to their credit, they showed some character at the weekend, earning a 2-2 draw away at Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. Back at home, with the famous Yellow Wall behind them, Dortmund will give everything, but a comeback seems unlikely.

The hosts will be without Marcel Sabitzer and Nico Schlotterbeck once again. Guirassy, who scored twice the last time Barca visited, will lead the line and could be a threat again.

Barcelona Have One Foot in the Semis

Barcelona arrive with a four-goal advantage and plenty of momentum. They’re now favourites to win the competition outright and come into this off the back of a 1-0 La Liga win over Leganes that edged them closer to domestic glory.

Manager Hansi Flick may rotate slightly here but will still want to manage the game professionally. With Lewandowski in form and the midfield controlling matches well, Barcelona are unlikely to lose grip of the tie.

How the Bookies See It

Barcelona are 1.84 favourites to win the second leg, while Dortmund are 3.85 underdogs to get a consolation win inside 90 minutes. The draw is 4.00. The market clearly expects goals, but not necessarily drama in the tie’s outcome.

Head-to-Head: Goals Keep Flowing

Barcelona have now won both of their Champions League clashes with Dortmund this season, including a 3-2 victory at this ground during the group stage. A same-game Bet Builder of both teams to score, over 2.5 goals, and a goal in the 1st half is priced at 1.64 and has strong statistical support.

Players to Watch

Serhou Guirassy is Dortmund’s most consistent threat and scored twice the last time Barcelona visited. He’s 1.90 to either score or assist on Tuesday night. For Barca, Robert Lewandowski is 2.00 to find the net again after scoring twice in the first leg against his former club.
