Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona Tips
Tip 1
Despite Dortmund’s strong form at the Westfalenstadion, Barca’s superb attack makes them slight favourites for this clash and worth siding with to edge an entertaining affair.
Hansi Flick won all five of his meetings with BVB as Bayern boss, and there has been some fragility in the home side’s performances as of late after failing to win in three of their last five.
Tip 2
Jamie Gittens’ emergence this season has been well documented, with the young winger entering this match on the back of a four-game scoring streak.
The former City academy product boasts four goals in five appearances in this competition so far, and nine strikes in total across all competitions for Dortmund in this campaign.
Barcelona have had some recent wobbles themselves, and seven goals conceded in their last five matches, including two in three of those, is an assuring sign for Gittens’ chances.
Borussia Dortmund Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Last time out BVB drew 1-1 with Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga, while Nuri Sahin’s men dispatched Zagreb 3-0 in Croatia in late November’s most recent UCL outing.
Dortmund are without Walderma Anton, Niklas Sule and Filippo Mane for this clash, with Maximilian Beier and Julian Brandt expected to return from injury.
Borussia Dortmund Predicted XI: Kobel; Ryerson, Can, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Nmecha, Malen, Sabitzer, Brandt, Gittens; Guirassy.

Barcelona Predicted XI: Inaki Pena; Koundé, Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Balde; Pedri, Casado – Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski.
