Dortmund is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They have won 2 of their last 4 matches with no losses in that span. Their attack has been good in these matches as they have scored 9 goals in their last 4, and their defense has also been good as they have only allowed 2 goals in that span as well. When playing at home, they have been much better as they have won 9 of their last 10 matches there with no losses in that span. They have also been great in these Champions League matches as they have won 4 of their 5 matches, their only loss coming away from home against Real Madrid who are the defending champions. They are going up against a Barcelona side that has not been in great form in their recent matches. They only have 1 win in their last 3 as well as 2 wins in their last 6 matches, and they have been much worse away from home. When playing away from home, they only have 1 win in their last 4 matches with that win coming against Mallorca. Their defense has been awful in those as well, allowing at least 1 goal in each of those 4 away matches and allowing at least 2 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well. They have been great in Champions League as well, winning their last 4 straight matches in the competition, but their only loss did come away from home against a stronger opponent in Monaco. Dortmund has been in great form at home recently with a strong attack that will find the net on this Barcelona defense and their defense has also been much better at home as well. Dortmund also went to the Final last season and lost to Real Madrid so they are taking this competition very seriously with full focus. Dortmund will win this match at home or at least draw, take Dortmund +0.5 here.
