Dortmund v Barcelona
📅
Kick Off: Wednesday 11th December at 20:00
🏆
Competition: UEFA Champions League
📺
Watch Live: TNT Sports 4
The Signal Iduna Park welcomes Barcelona on Wednesday night, as both sides find themselves tied on 12 points with an identical record of four wins and one loss in this year’s Champions League campaign.
A win for either team would be a massive boost for securing a top-eight place and automatic qualification into the knockout stages.
⭐ Dortmund v Barcelona Best Bets
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens has been a standout performer for Dortmund in recent weeks, as the 20-year-old has netted in four consecutive games.
Operating on the left wing, Gittens has a tendency to cut in onto his stronger right foot, to create a favourable shooting angle.
He has already scored four goals in the Champions League so far, which is the highest of any Dortmund player, so he should be full of confidence.
🟢 #WhatOddsPaddy Tip
Lewandowski will have fond memories of facing Borussia Dortmund, as the Polish international has scored 27 goals in 26 games against them. Lewandowski scored after 39 minutes in his previous game against Real Betis.
The Signal Iduna Park is expected to host a goal-laden matchup here, as both sides are progressive and front-footed – an enticing matchup is on the cards given how both teams have been performing well in Europe so far.
Barcelona are averaging just 0.8 cards per game in the Champions League this season, while opponents are averaging 2.8 – this bet has landed in all 5 European fixtures so far for the Catalans.

👕 Dortmund v Barcelona Predicted XI
🔍 Key Players to Watch
🟡 Nico Schlotterbeck
Nico Schlotterbeck has been fouled in 10 out of 11 away games in all competitions this season, averaging 1.35 fouls drawn per 90 in that time. This bet has landed in 3 out of 5 Champions League games so far, including against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
🔵 Lamine Yamal
Lamine Yamal has registered a shot on target in 15 out of 19 matches in all competitions this season, including the last six games straight. He has been a key player under Hansi Flick, who will be glad he has returned from a recent injury to pick up where he left off.
🟡 Felix Nmecha
Felix Nmecha is set for a tough task dealing with the Barcelona attackers in this clash – the German is averaging 1.53 fouls per 90 and should be up against the likes of Yamal, Raphinha and Dani Olmo. Nmecha made 2 fouls against Real Madrid earlier in the Champions League.

Since their previous outing in the Champions League which saw them beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 in Croatia, Borussia Dortmund have registered successive 1-1 draws in the league against Bayern Munich and Borussia Monchengladbach, seeing them slump in fifth in the Bundesliga.
Similarly, one win from their last three games has Barcelona also in a slight rut of form, although they are still top of the Spanish top flight.
