Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona Prediction
Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona Betting Tips
Barcelona have emerged as favourites to go all the way and win the Champions League this season and they have certainly given themselves a great chance of reaching the semi-finals after a 4-0 win at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in the first leg.
Raphinha opened the scoring, before a brace from Robert Lewandowski and a goal from Yamine Lamal wrapped up a comfortable victory for the Blaugrana in Catalonia.
Barca had already beaten BVB in the Champions League this season, winning 3-2 at Signal Iduna Park during the league phase back in December.
Flick’s side have been creating a habit of making fast starts in their European games and have been leading at half-time and full-time in their last two Champions League games, against Benfica and Dortmund.
Looking to crush any sort of response from the hosts early in Tuesday night’s contest, Barca to be leading at the break and at the full-time whistle gets the nod here.
A player who suddenly finds himself in the conversation for the next Ballon d’Or, Raphinha to open the scoring at Signal Iduna Park is worthy of consideration.
The Brazil international is the leading goalscorer in the competitions this season, finding the back of the net 12 times already.
Impressively, he has opened the scoring in all of Barca’s last three Champions League games and the 28-year-old is great value at 5/1 to continue the trend in this quarter-final second leg.
