Barcelona vs Dortmund: Prediction, tickets, team news, TV live stream, H2H, betting - Champions League preview

Barcelona know a win over Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday will seal their place in the Champions League knockout stages.

In a tough Group F, Ernesto Valverde's side have dropped points to both Slavia Prague and the Bundesliga outfit, but a win over struggling Dortmund will see them advance out of the group stage for the 19th consecutive season.

A loss for Dortmund will see them needing to beat Slavia Prague and hope Barca do them a favour against Inter Milan in the final matchday.

BVB head coach Lucien Favre has been told he must improve results immediately, starting at Camp Nou. Could this be his swansong?

Champions League preview

Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund
Venue: Camp Nou
Kick-off time: 8pm GMT, Wednesday, November 27


Prediction: Barcelona 2-0 Borussia Dortmund

Barca are enjoying themselves at the moment, whereas Dortmund are very much not - underlined by scrapping a 3-3 draw with bottom-of-the-league Paderborn after being 3-0 down at half-time.

Team news

Sergi Roberto should come into the starting XI after missing the weekend win over Leganes through suspension. Moussa Wague made a rare start in the 2-1 win, with Nelson Semedo and Jordi Alba out through injury.

Clement Lenglet is expected to return after being left out of the weekend squad following the international break. Jean-Clair Todibo will step up in his absence.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele all started against La Liga' bottom club with underwhelming results, meaning Ernesto Valverde could switch things up on Wednesday.

Barcelona predicted lineup (4-3-3): Ter Stegen; S.Roberto, Pique, Lenglet, Firpo; Busquets, De Jong, Arthur; Messi, Suarez, Griezmann​
