CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – GAMEWEEK 6
Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona
Borussia Dortmund enter matchday six of the UEFA Champions League in a great spot, sitting in the automatic qualification spots thanks to four wins from five group games. However, with a tightly packed table and Barcelona just ahead of them, this clash could be decisive. Dortmund’s unbeaten home record this season (W8, D1) gives them hope, though they’ve never beaten Barca in four prior meetings (D2, L2) and have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine UCL games against Spanish opponents.
Barcelona arrive here in mixed form (W2, D2, L2) and come off a 2-2 weekend draw against Betis, where focus may have waned with this pivotal match looming. Hansi Flick holds a perfect 5-0 managerial record against Dortmund, including narrow away wins. Interestingly, Barca’s recent road victories tend to be emphatic, with their last six coming by margins of three or more goals. Check our Borussia Dortmund vs Barcelona markets here.
Prediction: Barcelona & O3.5 @ 5.80
Juventus vs Manchester City
Juventus' form has dipped recently, with their 2-2 weekend draw against Bologna marking their fourth consecutive stalemate and leaving them off the pace in Serie A and under pressure in the UEFA Champions League. They’re winless in three UCL matches (D2, L1) and will look to avoid consecutive home UCL defeats for only the second time this century. History against Manchester City offers some solace, as Juve are unbeaten in their last five H2Hs (W3, D2).
Manchester City are enduring their own struggles, with just one win in nine matches (D2, L6) and a habit of late-game collapses, such as their recent 3-3 UCL draw with Feyenoord. Despite their attacking dominance in the UCL—leading in corners and shots taken—City’s defensive fragility has Guardiola seeking his first away win since October. Key players include Juve’s Timothy Weah, who has scored three early home goals in the UCL, and City's Matheus Nunes, with three assists in as many matches. Seeing as both sides love to attack, we are happy to advise BTTS in the 1st half. Check our Juventus vs Manchester City markets here.
Prediction: 1st Half BTTS YES @ 4.3
