Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund Preview and Team News
Barcelona Team News
Barcelona will be playing their fifth match in just 12 days. The unusual postponement of their game against Osasuna on Thursday, March 27, left the national team with little time to recover.
Forty-eight hours later, they faced Girona. Just six days after that, the Catalans competed in two challenging fixtures against Atletico and Betis.
It’s no surprise that in their encounter against the latter, Flick’s men appeared fatigued and lacked creativity in their attacking play.

Barcelona enters this Champions League quarter-final first leg with many injury concerns. First-choice goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen remains sidelined due to a patellar tendon rupture sustained in September 2024, ruling him out for the season.
Midfielders Marc Casadó and Marc Bernal are also unavailable. Casadó has been nursing a ligament injury since March 16, and Bernal is recovering from a cruciate tear suffered in August 2024.
Dani Olmo, a key figure in Barcelona’s attacking midfield, is out with an adductor injury sustained on March 27 and is expected to return after April 17. Defender Iñigo Martínez missed the recent 1-1 draw against Real Betis due to a minor muscle issue but is anticipated to be back for selection against Dortmund.

Despite recent domestic inconsistencies, Borussia displayed great play in their 4-1 win over Freiburg on April 5. Using a 4-2-3-1 formation, they transitioned from defense to attack, with Emre Can anchoring the midfield and creating quick ball progression.
Maximilian Beier and Karim Adeyemi demonstrated cohesive play on the frontline with speed and skillful dribbling.

Borussia face a significant setback with the loss of central defender Nico Schlotterbeck, who suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee during training on April 6. He’s ruled out for the rest of the season. Midfielder Marcel Sabitzer is also sidelined with a knee injury.
These absences pose challenges for head coach Niko Kovač, particularly in organizing the defense and midfield.

Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
- Pick: Barcelona to win
- Odds: -278 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Borussia Dortmund
The hosts are in exceptional form, maintaining a 22-match unbeaten streak across all competitions. Their attacking prowess is evident, with players like Raphinha and Lewandowski consistently delivering goals. Additionally, Barça’s home advantage at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys enhances their position.
Conversely, Dortmund face challenges, notably the absence of central defender Nico Schlotterbeck, which weakens their defensive line. While Borussia possesses attacking threats capable of scoring, their vulnerabilities make them susceptible to Barcelona’s dynamic assault.
Considering these elements, a 3-1 victory for Barcelona appears to be a likely outcome.
Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Barcelona. Total Over 1.5
- Odds: -313 (20Bet)
Under Hansi Flick, Barcelona refined a possession-based strategy, using the technical strengths of midfielders like Pedri, Gavi, and De Jong to control the game’s tempo. The attacking trio of Raphinha, Yamal, and Lewandowski is instrumental in dismantling defenses. Their fluid movement and sharp interplay create numerous scoring opportunities.
Knowing all this, a Barcelona victory with a total of over 1.5 goals appears likely, reflecting their attacking strength and Dortmund’s defensive weaknesses.
