Barcelona hosts Borussia Dortmund in round 5 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 27th at Camp Nou (Barcelona)
Catalan Barcelona will play the most important match against Borussia Dortmund at the home stadium Camp Nou. The first place in the group will be determined in it. The Blaugranes have not secured an early entry into the playoffs of the Champions League 2019/20 yet. The men of fifty-five-year-old Spanish specialist Ernesto Valverde take first place in Group F with eight points scored and the total goal difference of 4:2. If an away draw with Borussia Dortmund was not so surprising, a goalless home draw with Slavia Prague left many questions for both the players and the coaching staff. Now Barca needs a victory over a very strong and scoring opponent since it will play away with an even stronger and much more stable Inter Milan headed by Antonio Conte in the last sixth round of the Champions League group stage. It turns out that even a draw with Borussia in the upcoming match can negatively affect the whole situation with access to the playoffs. The group is very complex and even equal, and if Inter defeats Barcelona at home, it will reach the 1/8 finals of the Champions League. But this is on condition that Inter will defeat Slavia Prague in this round on the road.

Borussia Dortmund is very strong in attack but unstable in its game and results. For example, the Yellow-Blacks unconditionally lost to Bayern in Bundesliga with a 0-4 score. Yes, it happened on the road, but it does not negate the fact that Borussia had to fight and score at least one goal in that match. Borussia Dortmund plays quite unevenly in the Bundesliga, and it takes only sixth place in the standings after twelve rounds played. The men of Lucien Favre gained only five victories, with five draws and two defeats. And the statistics are even sadder in the away matches - there is only one win in six games, with three draws and two losses. However, Borussia Dortmund is a very strong club, although it is unpredictable sometimes. In a home match with Inter in the Champions League, Lucien Favre's men were losing with a 0-2 score after the first half, but they braced themselves after a break and eventually won with a result of 3-2.
As for the upcoming match, there should be a battle with an abundance of goals. After all, Borussia Dortmund will play the next match against Slavia Prague in the home arena “Signal Iduna Park”. Yes, the Czechs are strong, but the Yellow-Blacks are very good at home and must score three points and go to the playoffs. On the other hand, Barcelona shows a very unstable and even bad game on the road. Moreover, this has been going on for quite some time and the lost advantage with Liverpool in the Champions League semifinals of the last season is proof of this. And there are already a lot of examples in this season of LaLiga. By the way, the French forward Ousmane Dembele recovered from another injury. Let's not forget about Leo Messi, Luis Suarez, Antoine Griezmann and many others. I think Barcelona should confidently beat its difficult opponent at home.
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win and Over 2.5 goals scored
