Barcelona vs Dortmund Bet Builder Tips

As the UEFA Champions League heats up, Barcelona and Dortmund will clash in Catalonia on Wednesday evening, when the hosts will be looking to continue their push for what would be an impressive treble.

For the visitors, the season pretty much comes down to this. If they can reach the final of this competition for a second year in a row, then the season will likely be considered a successful one, but if they crash and burn here, then, well, it’ll be a poor campaign all round for Niko Kovac, who may find himself looking for a new job. Read on for our Barcelona vs Dortmund bet builder tips.

Barcelona vs Dortmund bet builder tips

This match will be played on at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. Kick off will be at 20:00 GMT.

Three bets make up this Barcelona vs Dortmund bet builder, which pays 9/1 with betway.

Serhou Guirassy 1+ Shot on Target

We’ll kick things off with a bet on Dortmund primary goal-getter to, at very least, register a shot on target at Barca’s temporary home of Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Wednesday night.

The Guinea international has been the man to grab the goals for BVB in the Champions League this season, scoring no less than 10 times since the start of the league phase. Not only has he scored so many by being a regular shooter, but he’s done so by being rather accurate when pulling the trigger.

Guirassy currently averages 2.69 shots per 90 minutes in this competition, averaging an eye-catching 1.59 shots on target per 90 minutes. Interestingly, he’s hit the target at least once in four of his last five UCL appearances. What’s more, when these two teams met during the league phase, he made the Barca keeper work. Such facts are not easy to ignore.

Raphinha 1+ Assist

A key man in all competitions, Raphinha continues to go from strength to strength in the colours of Barcelona, and it’s fair to say that he’s been in sizzling form in the Champions League this season.

The scorer of no less than 11 UCL goals during the current campaign, the Brazilian is clearly one of Barca’s primary threats in front of goal, but he’s also the creator-in-chief, registering more assists than any other player. Since the beginning of the league phase, Raphinha has registered five assists, averaging 0.54 per 90 minutes.

Moreover, no Barcelona player has made more key passes (= passes leading directly to a shot) in this competition, while he’s also the top man for the Catalan side in terms of passes into the penalty area. If anyone is likely to create high-quality chances for Barca on the big stage, it’s Raphinha, so don’t be surprised if the former Leeds United man registers an assist as the hosts look to assert themselves on Wednesday.

Ramy Bensebaini to Be Carded

Rounding things off, I can’t resist opting for Dortmund’s often rash and rather hot-headed Ramy Bensebaini to go into the book.

The Algerian has been asked to play in a few different defensive roles this season, though he’s typically operated at left back, which is where he played when these two met in the league phase. That was a tough night for the 29-year-old, who went into the book. This could be even tougher, so it would hardly be a surprise if he got himself in trouble again.

After all, the defender has developed a habit of getting booked on big European nights, picking up for yellows in the Champions League this term, which is a lot given that he hasn’t played every game. In fact, this is a player that currently averages 0.63 cards per 90 minutes in this competition.
