Barcelona vs. Borussia Dortmund betting picks and predictions

Barcelona to win & both teams to score (+150)

Barcelona’s seven-game winning streak came to an end at home to Real Betis at the weekend, but the Catalans are expected to bounce back with a first-leg triumph over Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.

Five-time winners of the UEFA Champions League, Barca have not made the final of the competition since a 3-1 win over Juventus in 2015, but the in-form side are priced as +400 outright favorites as we head into the quarterfinal stage.

They are -275 favorites to win the first leg against Dortmund, but a clean sheet may be beyond Hansi Flick’s team against a free-scoring BVB side.

Die Schwarzgelben were beaten 2-0 by Real Madrid in last season’s UEFA Champions League final and, while they are still in with a chance of repeating that feat, they are in the midst of a dismal domestic campaign and have a relatively favorable run to thank for their appearance in the quarterfinals.

Niko Kovac’s side were beaten 3-2 at home to Barca in the league phase in December and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see a similar scoreline on Wednesday.

Dortmund have scored nine goals in their last four games and could get on the scoresheet in Catalonia, as Barcelona have conceded in four of their last five UEFA Champions League ties.

However, Wednesday’s hosts have won eight of their last nine games in this competition and are unbeaten in 22 competitive games, so they should be able to secure a first-leg lead.

Raphinha to score anytime (+120)

Barcelona have two of the top four goalscorers in this season’s UEFA Champions League and the current leader could add to his tally on Wednesday.

Raphinha has scored 11 of his 24 competitive goals in this competition and six of these have been netted at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

One of his continental goals was the opener away to Dortmund in December.

With 37 goal contributions in 38 competitive appearances, the Brazilian is at the top of his game right now and he can add to his seven goals in his last 11 appearances.

Maximilian Beier to score or assist (+275)

Maximilian Beier has started Dortmund’s last four competitive games and the versatile 22-year-old looks good value to make an impact at Barca on Wednesday.

Beier has been utilized all across BVB's frontline - as well as an occasional appearance in midfield - this season and the up-and-coming Germany international has grasped his recent starting opportunities with both hands.

He assisted the first two goals in Dortmund's 4-1 win at Freiburg on Saturday and scored twice against Mainz the weekend before, taking his tally to 13 goal contributions this season.

He has averaged a goal or an assist every 123 minutes in the Bundesliga this term.

Seven of these goal contributions have come in his last six competitive starts, including the winning goal in his side’s 2-1 victory over Lille in the last round of UEFA Champions League action.

With Barca conceding nine goals in their last five matches in this competition, Beier could get a few opportunities to continue his purple patch.
