Head-to-head statistics Barcelona - Dortmund
Barcelona Team Overview
🔵 Barcelona last tasted defeat back in December, falling to Atletico (2-1). Since then, they've embarked on an impressive 22-match unbeaten streak. Recently, the Catalans exacted revenge on the Madrid side in the Copa del Rey (1-0), securing a spot in the final. Over the weekend, they extended their lead over Real Madrid in La Liga to four points after a draw with Betis (1-1), while Los Blancos suffered a loss to Valencia. In the Champions League, Barcelona advanced to the knockout stage as runners-up. They faced Benfica in the Round of 16 and managed a crucial away victory despite being down a man (1-0). Back at home, the Blaugrana extended their lead (3-1). In both legs, Raphinha emerged as the hero, climbing to the top of the Champions League scoring charts with 11 goals.
📣 Barcelona's head coach Hansi Flick indicated that the team is in good shape ahead of their clash with Borussia Dortmund: “We are paying close attention to recovery, and the intensity of our training sessions is at an optimal level. The team is ready both physically and mentally. Right now, complete focus from the players is paramount.”
❌ In the upcoming match, Marc-André ter Stegen will be absent as he is sidelined for the rest of the season. Marc Bernal, who has featured in three matches for Barcelona, has been injured for some time. Marc Casado and Dani Olmo have each missed 3-4 games, limiting Flick's options for rotation.

Borussia Dortmund Team Overview
🟡 Borussia Dortmund have changed their head coach mid-season. Under Nuri Sahin, their results slipped, prompting the club to part ways with the legend. Nico Kovac, with a completely different tactical approach, was brought in to turn things around. Under his guidance, the team has delivered several impressive victories, including a commanding 4-1 win over Freiburg last weekend. Serhou Guirassy, who is second in the Champions League scoring chart with 10 goals, found the back of the net in that match. Dortmund finished the league stage in 10th place. In the playoffs, they overcame a resilient Sporting (3-0, 0-0) under Kovac. In the round of 16, the "Black and Yellows" edged past Lille (1-1, 2-1), one of the tournament's surprise packages.
📣 Ahead of the clash against Barcelona, Nico Kovac emphasizes focus: “We are on the right track. Our task is to maintain maximum concentration. I am convinced that the players will give their all against Barcelona.”
❌ Borussia Dortmund are dealing with several injuries, though not all affected players are key figures. A significant loss, however, is Marcel Sabitzer, who will miss two matches due to a knee injury. Pascal Gross, a positional rival to Sabitzer, is also out due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Nico Schlotterbeck is sidelined for the rest of the season with a meniscus tear, a major blow to the squad.

Editor's Prediction
Barcelona are on an impressive unbeaten streak and have the advantage of playing at home, but there are concerns about their current form. The team faces a hectic schedule, and while their physical condition seems fine, their creativity has started to wane, as seen in the recent match against Betis. We believe the upcoming clash won't be as high-scoring as the one in December, especially with Borussia likely to adopt a more cautious approach under Niko Kovac compared to Nuri Sahin's tenure. We're backing under 3.5 goals, a result seen in eight of Borussia's last nine away games.
