Game Preview

Borussia experienced a roller coaster of emotions against Bayern in Munich. They were up 0-1, then down 2-1, and in the end even had a chance to win this event. However, a 2-2 tie could be labeled as a solid result for Niko Kovac’s crew.

This was the eighth straight game in which they allowed a goal, and the defense is the most problematic part of the unit, especially now when certain injuries disrupt the chemistry and Kovac’s strategy.

Barcelona was fantastic in the first leg, and then they had a game in La Liga against Leganes on the road. After a tough and demanding contest, they beat the rivals, 0-1, keeping their leadership in the La Liga standings.

This was Blaugrana’s 24th match in a row in which they haven’t lost. Over the last 10 meetings, Barcelona has 9 wins and only one tie, which is terrifying data for any rival.

Borussia Dortmund vs. Barcelona Head to Head

Since 1998, these teams have met six times, and Barcelona has 4 wins, two games ended in ties, and Borussia still didn’t triumph.

Borussia Dortmund vs. Barcelona Predictions

Dortmund has been rather shaky in defense, but they have to try to beat Barcelona, even if that comes back at them as a boomerang. Because of this we expect to see an open and aggressive approach, which will lead to both teams netting and over 2.5 goals.
