Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Both Teams to Score | |
17/20 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning With two well-matched sides pushing for a Serie A return, goals are likely at both ends. Cremonese are strong at home and always carry a threat, while Spezia are efficient on the break with a prolific forward in Esposito. Both teams should have the quality to get on the scoresheet. | |
Key Stats:
- Barcelona are unbeaten in 24 straight matches across all competitions in 2025.
- Borussia Dortmund have failed to win any of their last six meetings with Barcelona in Europe.
- Lewandowski has scored three goals against his former club Dortmund this season.
Rationale
Borussia Dortmund find themselves in a desperate situation as they attempt the improbable task of reversing a 4-0 deficit against a rampant Barcelona side. With their Champions League hopes all but dashed, Niko Kovac’s men are likely to throw caution to the wind in front of their home support. However, Dortmund’s leaky defence at Signal Iduna Park—only three wins in their last 12 home games—makes a comeback virtually out of reach.
Barcelona, on the other hand, arrive in Germany in dazzling form, having yet to taste defeat in 2025. They’ve won each of their last three Champions League clashes against German sides and are riding a 16-match unbeaten run on their travels. Even if rotation is expected from Hansi Flick, the Blaugrana possess ample firepower, with Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal in excellent scoring form. Dortmund may snatch a goal or two in this dead-rubber scenario, but Barcelona’s ruthless finishing should ensure another high-scoring outcome.
