Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona reconvene for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie at Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday night.
The German giants are facing a monumental task to reach the semi-final stage after suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat in last week’s first leg.
However, Niko Kovac’s side showed some impressive resilience and spirit to bounce back from that body blow by earning a well-deserved 2-2 draw away at Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Back in front of their famed yellow wall this midweek, Dortmund will be fully focused on making home advantage count as they look to pull off the unthinkable.
As for Barcelona, they are now the bookmakers' favourites to win this season's Champions League after brilliantly dismantling Borussia Dortmund last week.
Hansi Flick’s side have since edged closer to reclaiming the La Liga title, after picking up a narrow 1-0 win away at Leganes on Saturday night.
How the bookies view it: Dortmund dead in the water
Borussia Dortmund are as big as 11/4 on Boylesports to win inside 90 minutes on Tuesday night while the draw is also considered unlikely at 3/1 with the same firm.
The bookmakers make Barcelona short-priced 3/4 favourites on Boylesports to take top honours from this week’s second leg.
Head to head: History against the hosts
After falling to defeat in last week’s first leg, Borussia Dortmund have now lost twice to Barcelona in this season’s Champions League, including a 3-2 reverse at this venue on matchday 6 of the league phase. That makes a Bet Builder of BTTS, Over 2.5 Goals and a goal in the first-half worthy of support at 4/5 (Bet 365).
Players to watch: Guirassy to grab a goal?
Serhou Guirassy bagged a brace for Borussia Dortmund when Barcelona were last in town at the tail end of 2024. The Guinean goal-getter is an eye-catching 13/10 on PaddyPower for a goal or an assist this midweek.
Robert Lewandowski struck twice against his former employers last week. The Barcelona ace is 11/10 on Boylesports to repeat the trick on Tuesday night.
Predicted line-ups
As was the case in Catalonia last week, Dortmund boss Kovac will again be unable to call upon the services of injured duo Marcel Sabitzer and Nico Schlotterbeck.
Holding a four-goal advantage, Barcelona boss Flick may opt to tinker with his team for this week’s second leg, though he won’t be able to turn to Alejandro Balde who suffered a hamstring injury at Leganes last time out.
Borussia Dortmund: Kobel; Ryerson, Can, Anton, Bensebaini; Gross, Chukwuemeka; Adeyemi, Brandt, Bynoe-Gittens; Guirassy
Barcelona: Szczesny; Kounde, Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Martin; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Torres, Raphinha; Lewandowski
Anything else catch the eye?
Given the state of play heading into this week’s second leg, opposing cards could be an angle of attack to consider.
Last week’s first leg featured just two bookings, while just one card was handed out during Barcelona's second leg with Benfica in the previous round.
With that in mind, under four match cards could stand a chance here at 4/5 on Bet 365.
