In this competition, there have been no home defeats over five matches. Despite exhibiting some defensive lapses, having conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 fixtures, their attack has proven to be dependable, scoring at least once in each of those games. Historically, their home fixtures tend to produce goals, with 24 of their last 28 resulting in over 1.5 goals and 22 of 28 exceeding 2.5 goals.

Barcelona will face Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League on 9 April 2025 at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona. The Catalan team has shown strong form throughout the competition, adopting a style based on ball possession and rapid transitions. Recently, Barcelona secured a notable 4-2 victory against Atletico Madrid, showcasing their offensive prowess and match management. The preferred tactical formation is 4-3-3, allowing width on the flanks and a robust attacking presence. Defensively, Barcelona maintains compact lines and employs high pressing to regain possession quickly, although they will be concerned with the absence of goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen and defender Ronald Araújo, which could affect their defensive stability.
Team analysis: Borussia Dortmund
In their last six away games in the UEFA Champions League, they have recorded 4 wins and 2 losses. Their attacking line has been consistently effective, managing to score in 9 of their last 10 matches in this competition. Their away games generally see a high goal count; indeed, 27 of their last 30 ended with over 1.5 goals, while 21 of 30 featured more than 2.5 goals. This team frequently takes the lead, achieving the first goal in 9 of their last 12 Champions League encounters, with 9 maintaining their advantage at half-time, and 6 holding onto their lead until the end.
However, Borussia Dortmund has faced challenges in the Bundesliga, currently sitting 11th and coming off a disappointing 2-0 defeat against RB Leipzig. Nevertheless, the German club has exhibited resilience in the Champions League, notably eliminating Lille through an impressive comeback. Borussia Dortmund often employs a 4-2-3-1 formation, emphasising swift transitions and counterattack strategies. Defensively, they have oscillated between high pressing and a medium-block system but remain susceptible at the back, particularly with the absence of key players like Niklas Süle and Julian Brandt. The injury of Marcel Sabitzer represents yet another setback for the team’s midfield.
