Game Preview
When Real lost to Valencia, everyone believed that Barcelona was going to crush Betis. Though, that didn’t happen, as Betis managed to withstand the pressure and get out with a point. In the end it was Barca – Betis 1-1.
This was the first meeting in which Hansi Flick’s unit didn’t win after seven consecutive victories. Overall, Barca has not lost in the previous 22 appearances across all competitions.
Borussia beat Freiburg on the road on Saturday, looking splendid. It was 1-4 for the Millionaires, who won their second straight. The previous was at home vs. Mainz 3-1.
Dortmund’s defense is fragile and unstable. They have just 2 clean sheets in the last 10 road games. And this problem isn’t only present away, but at home as well.
Barcelona vs. Borussia Dortmund Head to Head
The two sides met in the league stage this year. It was in December, when Barcelona triumphed 2-3 on the road in Dortmund. Since 1998 they met five times, Barca won in three events, and two ended without winners.
Barcelona vs. Borussia Dortmund Predictions
In our opinion, Borussia’s defensive woes will emerge in this game. Flick knows how to use them because Barca has the perfect lineup and favorable matchups to crack the Millionaires’ back line. That’s why we pick Barca to win and cover the 1.5-goal spread.
