Barcelona will host Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of a UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash on Wednesday. The Blaugrana have been an offensive juggernaut in both league and tournament play, and they enter Wednesday's match with just one loss over eight UCL games. They welcome a Dortmund side that can score goals but is less consistent and will have to play without one of their key defenders.
Kickoff from Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium in Barcelona is set for 3 p.m. ET. The latest Barcelona vs. Dortmund odds list the hosts as the -275 favorites (risk $275 to win $100) on the 90-minute money line, with Dortmund as the +625 underdogs. A draw is priced at +425, and the over/under for total goals is 3.5. (For more soccer coverage, click here).
Before you lock in your Barcelona vs. Dortmund picks or Champions League predictions, you need to see what soccer bettor Jon "Buckets" Eimer has to say.
Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.
The expert knows the visitors will be at a disadvantage on the back end. Veteran defender Nico Schlotterbeck will miss the rest of the season due to a meniscus tear, and his absence will force Dortmund to play more forward-facing soccer. BVB have scored 22 goals in eight UCL matches, so scoring isn't an issue. However, they will still be the underdogs on the road against one of Europe's top attacks.
Barcelona have scored 28 goals in eight UCL matches and a staggering 83 goals in 30 LaLiga games this season. They are getting goal contributions across their lineup, making them difficult for a short-handed defense to contain. Robert Lewandowski and company are also unbeaten at home in Champions League play this season, so it's easy to see why they are such heavy favorites to win Wednesday's match.
