Champions League: Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona Preview

Barcelona have one foot in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Hansi Flick’s brilliant side won 4-0 in Catalonia last week and in truth, it could have been more.

Borussia Dortmund face an almost impossible task to try and complete a comeback, although such things can never be ruled out in the Champions League.

Below you will find a full match preview with some online sports betting tips, which can help you make informed decisions for your midweek football bets.

Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona Preview

Last week in Barcelona was another night to forget for Dortmund in a season which will not be fondly remembered by supporters.

Well, unless they can somehow complete one of the Champions League’s greatest ever comebacks later this evening!

However, Niko Kovac’s side can at least take some confidence from their 2-2 weekend draw with runaway Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.

Dortmund performed pretty well at the Allianz Arena and they can certainly salvage some pride when Barcelona visit Signal Iduna Park.

But Flick’s side are also more than capable of inflicting another damaging defeat. No team in Europe’s top leagues has scored more goals in all competitions this season, while Barca are yet to lose a single match in 2025 following their 1-0 win at Leganes on the weekend.

From back to front, the Catalan side have world beaters in the XI, with Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal forming arguably the best front three on the planet right now.

Barca will be without key left-back Alejandro Balde for this match due to a hamstring injury, though his absence should have little impact on the overall outcome of the tie.

The La Liga leaders visited Dortmund in the League Phase and walked away with a 3-2 victory thanks to a late match-winning brace from super-sub Ferran Torres.

Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona Betting Tips

Raphinha to score anytime @ 2.70

Raphinha’s performances in the Champions League have been sensational – to say the least! The Brazilian has scored 12 goals in just 11 appearances, also netting in the two previous meetings with Dortmund.

Barcelona to be winning at half-time and full-time @ 2.38

Even with the Yellow Wall cheering them on, we just cannot see how the Dortmund players can match this brilliant Barca side for 90 minutes. There is a clear gulf in quality right now and we expect the visitors to cruise to another European victory.

Over 1.5 goals in the first half @ 2.21

With the above tip in mind, we would not be shocked to see Barca put at least two goals past Gregor Kobel in the first half. The Spanish side had 10 shots on target in the first leg, perhaps the best evidence available of their overwhelming superiority.
