Betting Preview: Latest Results and Roster Updates
Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund are currently sitting in 6th place in the Bundesliga standings, but they are doing much better in the UCL. BVB have won four of their five UCL games this season, which puts them in 4th place in the Champions League standings. Dortmund will face Bologna and Shakhtar Donetsk in the last two UCL games.
Dortmund are coming off a 1-1 away draw with Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga. Jamie Gittens continued his amazing run by scoring his fourth consecutive goal for BVB, but Kevin Stoger converted a penalty in the second half to equalize the score. Borussia are still unbeaten at home this season, having won eight games and drawn one in all competitions.
Dortmund will miss Niklas Sule after an unfortunate injury in the last game, while Waldemar Anton and Julian Brandt are still out, and Maximilian Beier is questionable for this game.

FC Barcelona
Barcelona are currently sitting on top of the La Liga standings. The Blaugrana lost their first UCL game this season against Monaco, but they bounced back with strong performances to win four consecutive games, putting them in third place in the standings. Barca will face Benfica and Atalanta in their remaining two UCL matches.
Barcelona are coming off a disappointing 2-2 away draw with Real Betis in La Liga. The Barca betting sites had the team as big favorites in this game, but it was another setback, as they have now won only two of their last six games in all competitions. Hansi Flick had an excellent record against Dortmund when he was at Bayern, beating them in all of their five encounters.
Barcelona are still missing Ansu Fati, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Marc Bernal, and Andreas Christensen with long-term injuries, while Ronald Araujo will join the squad after five months of absence.
Barcelona had a great seven-game winning streak in October and early November, but they have been struggling since Real Sociedad broke that streak, having drawn two and lost two of the last six games. Hansi Flick has enough experience to get the team to a good form again, but Dortmund are outstanding at home this season. Both teams are in good positions in the UCL table and don’t want to loose in this game, so a draw seems like a fair result for both.
The 24/25 UCL betting sites have some very enticing odds for the draw in this game. BVB are coming off two tough draws against Bayern and Monchengladbach, so they can play with the same strategy in this game as well.
Borussia Dortmund have gone under this total in three consecutive games. They have also gone under the total in nine of their last 12 matches in all competitions, as this is a high number compared to the usual 2.5-goal line. Barcelona had some high-scoring games lately, but they still went under the total in three of their last six games. None of them are in a must-win situation, so a tight game can very well happen here.
Nico Schlotterbeck will have a lot of responsibilities after Niklas Sule got injured again. The German center back is having his highest number of cards in his Bundesliga career, even though only a third of the season is over. Nico received five yellow cards and a red card in 12 Bundesliga games, and he got booked in three of four matches with Germany in the UEFA Nations League. So, he is expected to struggle more with the skilled Barcelona offense and fast-paced strikers.
This looks like a pretty balanced matchup that can very well end in a draw, and we expect it to be a low-scoring match. Make sure you use our 2024 Dortmund vs Barcelona betting predictions and bet them at the best bookmakers in Europe to have more fun watching the game.
