Dortmund v Barcelona - Champions League

Barcelona ML (-120)

Barcelona heads to Signal Iduna Park with a commanding 4-0 aggregate lead after a dominant first-leg performance. Despite the advantage, Hansi Flick is expected to field a strong lineup to maintain momentum and secure a spot in the semifinals.

The attacking trio of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal has been in exceptional form. Raphinha leads the Champions League scoring charts with 12 goals, while Lewandowski has netted 11, including a brace in the first leg. Yamal’s creativity adds another dimension to Barcelona’s potent offense.

Dortmund faces significant challenges, notably the absence of key defender Nico Schlotterbeck due to a season-ending injury. Emre Can is also doubtful, further weakening their defensive setup. While Pascal Groß returns from suspension to bolster the midfield, the task of overturning a four-goal deficit remains daunting.

Barcelona’s defense, anchored by Jules Koundé and Pau Cubarsí, has been solid, contributing to their 23-match unbeaten streak across all competitions. With the return of Dani Olmo to the squad, Flick has additional options to manage the game effectively.

Given the current form and squad depth, backing Barcelona on the moneyline at -120 offers value. Expect a professional performance from the Catalans to seal their progression.

Prediction: Barcelona 2, Borussia Dortmund 1. GL.
