Team News

Barcelona
Borussia Dortmund
  • Pau Cubarsi returns from a ban and should start alongside Inigo Martinez at the heart of the defence for Wednesday's welcome of Borussia Dortmund.
  • Barcelona are without four players here with Marc Casado, Marc Bernal, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Dani Olmo missing through injury.
  • Gavi may start in the number 10 role, while Fermin Lopez and Ferran Torres are also attacking options for Hansi Flick.
  • Borussia Dortmund have issues in midfield with Pascal Gross suspended and Marcel Sabitzer missing due to injury.
  • Felix Nmecha may partner Carney Chukwuemla at the base of the midfield, with Waldemar Anton set to start alongside Emre Can at the heart of the defence given the absence of Niklas Sule and, crucially, Nico Schlotterbeck.
  • Ramy Bensebaini is also ruled out, so Daniel Svensson is in line to start at left-back.

Prediction

  • Barcelona's unbeaten start to the calendar year continued at the weekend, though they were held to a 1-1 draw with Real Betis at home. The Blaugrana are unbeaten at home in the Champions League this season, winning four of their five matches.
  • Borussia Dortmund warmed up for their trip to Barcelona with a resounding 4-1 win at Freiburg, and the German side travel to Spain having won three of their last four matches. Dortmund have won four of their six away Champions League matches this season, with one of their two defeats coming at Real Madrid.
  • Barcelona beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 the last time they faced off in Spain back in 2019, and history may just repeat itself in midweek.
