Two teams looking to maintain winning streaks will go head to head in what is expected to be an entertaining matchup. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.
Dortmund's 2023-2024 season has been a mixed bag; while they have impressed in the Champions League, winning four out of five games, their domestic form has been less consistent.
The Black and Yellows were eliminated from the DFB-Pokal and currently sit sixth in the Bundesliga after a 1-1 draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Hansi Flick's Barcelona have played some electrifying football this season, with the Catalan club being dominant in the Champions League, accumulating 12 points and suffering only one defeat to Monaco.
They have also been good in La Liga, currently sitting in first place, though they have dropped off recently with just one win in their last five league games.
