Borussia Dortmund vs FC Barcelona
Borussia Dortmund is scheduled to meet Barcelona in the opening week of Group UCL. They are eyeing victory as capital to build self-confidence. In theory, La Masia is indeed the toughest enemy in this group compared to Inter Milan or Slavia Prague. Therefore, the victory at Signal Iduna Park will be a crucial moment for Die Borussen.
They also just gained valuable capital with a 4-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen. The match was held on Iduna last Saturday (9/14), helping them win 3 wins until the fourth week of the Bundesliga.
Goal rain also occurred at Camp Nou when Barcelona hosted Valencia. They won 5-2 in this match to win the second win in the fourth week of La Liga. With this victory, they hope to achieve positive results in tomorrow’s match. Luis Suarez reportedly will play since the beginning after yesterday came off the bench and scored two goals. Unfortunately, Lionel Messi will likely return to follow-up to continue to recover, while Frenkie de Jong and Sergio Busquets will command from the midfield.
From the stronghold of the host, Paco Alcacer and Marco Reus will be the foundation after yesterday’s match contributed three goals. Axel Witsel and Manuel Akanji will also appear after being injured. Borussia Dortmund managed to provide a real threat by holding a goal party on Iduna. For Barcelona, this will be a serious challenge, especially if you have never played there. They also brought a bad record from La Liga because they have not won in away matches, namely losing to Ath Bilbao, then drew with Osasuna. If you have this, then the host is more worthy of being favored.
