Key Players to Watch

Barcelona

  • Robert Lewandowski: Three goals in his last four games. Deadly in front of goal and the likely first scorer.
  • Raphinha: The Brazilian winger brings pace, creativity, and unpredictability perfect for unlocking Dortmund’s backline.

Borussia Dortmund

  • Karim Adeyemi: Back from injury, the German forward can stretch any defense with his speed.
  • Julian Brandt: A technician with an eye for a pass and a knack for late runs into the box.

Injury Watch: Who's In and Who’s Out?

Barcelona

  • Marc-André ter Stegen (GK): Out
  • Andreas Christensen (CB): Injured
  • Bernal (Midfield): Still recovering

These absences may affect their build-up play and backline stability.

Dortmund

  • Karim Adeyemi: Cleared to return after a two-month layoff with a muscle injury

His return is a massive boost to their counter-attack setup.

Tactical Insights and Gameplan Expectations

Barcelona is likely to control possession and push high up the pitch, especially at home. Expect them to use their wide players to stretch Dortmund and create spaces centrally for Lewandowski and the midfielders.

Dortmund will look to absorb pressure and hit on the break, utilizing Adeyemi’s speed and Brandt’s creativity to bypass Barca’s midfield press.

OKBet Expert Prediction: What’s the Smart Bet?

We project a Barcelona 2-1 win in a lively contest. Dortmund will threaten, especially on the counter, but Barcelona’s control and star quality should see them edge it.

Best Bets to Place at OKBet:

  • Barcelona to Win
  • Over 2.5 Goals
  • Lewandowski to Score Anytime
