- Borussia hasn’t lost at home this year.

Game Preview
Dortmund didn’t lose over the past four events, though they had back-to-back ties, one vs. Bayern Munich at home and the other vs. Monchengladbach on the road. Both were 1-1.
The game against Bayern was the sole one during this campaign where Dortmund didn’t win at home. In the other eight, the Champions League runners-up have triumphed, usually scoring two or more goals.
Barcelona has been dealing with injuries recently, and after a strong start, they slowed down. Hansi Flick’s boys have won two, lost two, and tied two in the previous six matches.
Now, Barca’s defense has been pretty vulnerable. The team from Catalonia has kept just two clean sheets in the past ten appearances.
Lineups & Injury News
Adeyemi and Brandt are questionable, while Mane and Anton won’t play.
ter Stegen is out, Arajuo, Bernal, Christensen, and Ansu Fati are all out for Barca.
Dortmund vs. Barcelona Head-to-Head
The two sides met in the 2019 UCL group stage. The game in Dortmund saw no goals, while Barce won at home 3-1. Also, in 1998, they were rivals in the UEFA Super Cup, when Barca won 3-1 on aggregate.
Dortmund vs. Barcelona Prediction
Barcelona’s defense is fragile, and the hosts have a solid chance of exploiting its flaws. Meanwhile, six of nine Borussia’s games at home have ended with both teams netting, and we predict the same thing will happen here.
