Barcelona host Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday night in what promises be a huge Champions League game. The visitors will fancy their chances after having made it all the way to the final last season before losing to Real Madrid. However, Barcelona are a team in form with 32 goals so far in the competition, averaging 3.2 goals per game. I’m tipping there to be Over 2.5 Match Goals and Yamal to have 1+ shot on target at 1.75.
Barcelona’s Goal Threat
Barcelona have scored 83 goals in La Liga alone, averaging 2.76 per game. They have also seen four of their last five matches end with over 2.5 goals, underlining their attacking threat.
One key man to watch is Raphinha, who has racked up 11 goals in just 10 Champions League appearances this season — an impressive return that has him top of the goalscoring charts, one goal in front of Harry Kane and Serhou Guirassy.
Dortmund’s Attacking Quality
Dortmund have scored 28 Champions League goals this campaign (2.33 per game) and 52 in the Bundesliga (1.85 per game). 64% of their domestic fixtures so far have seen over 2.5 goals which backs our tip nicely. Similarly, three of their last five games across all competitions have ended with over 2.5 goals, indicating they’re just as capable of contributing to a high-scoring affair.
As previously mentioned, their striker Guirassy has played every Champions League game so far scoring 10 goals and four assists. Barcelona’s defence should be wary of his ability in front of goal as shown so far this season.
Confident Yamal Ready to Shine
The young talent, Yamal has made his mark in Europe with an impressive six goals contributions in nine games. He always seems to be involved in attack with an average of 3.66 shots per game in the competition. He’s hit the target on 15 occasions during this timeframe, averaging 1.66 shots on target per game and continues to be a constant threat. In his last Champions League outing against Benfica, he grabbed a goal, an assist, and two shots on target.
This clash between Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund is a must-watch, promising plenty of goals and showcasing some of the brightest talents in European football.
