Borussia Dortmund 3-1 Barcelona

Current streaks

Recent form

Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding three wins, one draw, and two losses. The team have shown a penchant for high-scoring affairs, with five of their last six matches featuring over 2.5 goals, including a notable 4-1 away victory against SC Freiburg. However, Dortmund's defence has been a concern, as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight matches. Their goal difference over the past six games is neutral, having scored and conceded 11 goals each, averaging 1.83 goals both for and against per match. The team's most recent outing, a 2-2 draw against rivals Bayern Munich, demonstrates their ability to compete with top opposition, but their 4-0 drubbing by Barcelona in the Champions League highlights potential vulnerabilities against elite European sides.

Barcelona

Barcelona are in scintillating form, having gone unbeaten in their last 24 matches across all competitions. The Catalan giants have been particularly impressive in their recent six-game stretch, winning five and drawing one, whilst showcasing their attacking prowess by netting 14 goals and maintaining a solid defence with just two conceded. Their clean sheet record is noteworthy, with four shutouts in their last six outings. The standout performances include a convincing 4-0 thrashing of Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League and a 4-1 victory over Girona in La Liga, both highlighting Barcelona's ability to dominate high-scoring encounters. With an average of 2.33 goals scored per game and a mere 0.33 conceded, Barcelona are demonstrating a formidable balance that bodes well for their aspirations across all competitions.

Recent home/away form

Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund's recent home form has been rather inconsistent, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches at Signal Iduna Park. The standout performance came in their resounding 6-0 victory over Union Berlin, which significantly boosted their goal difference. Despite their mixed results, Dortmund have been relatively solid defensively, conceding an average of less than one goal per game and keeping two clean sheets. Their attacking prowess is evident, with an average of 1.83 goals scored per match, although this figure is somewhat inflated by the Union Berlin thrashing. Interestingly, half of their recent home games have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between matches featuring over and under 2.5 goals, suggesting a degree of unpredictability in their performances.

Barcelona

Barcelona have been in scintillating form away from home, boasting an impressive six-match winning streak on the road. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, with the Catalan giants keeping four clean sheets in these six matches and conceding a mere 0.5 goals per game. The blaugrana have also been potent in attack, netting 13 goals at an average of 2.17 per match. Two high-scoring encounters stand out: a 4-2 victory against Atlético de Madrid in La Liga and a 4-1 triumph over Sevilla. Barcelona's ability to win across different competitions is evident, with victories in La Liga, Copa del Rey, and the Champions League. Their consistent performance across various venues, including tough away fixtures at Atlético de Madrid and Benfica, underscores their formidable away form.
