Best Tip: Barcelona to win

Having examined the bookies' odds and collated statistics regarding the two sides ahead of this Champions League game, a bet on win / draw / win for Barcelona to win in front of their own fans is our recommendation. We predict they'll have too much for Dortmund, and head-to-head (H2H) records show they have a track record of doing so. It may not all be plain sailing, but Barcelona claiming victory is the bet come Wednesday night.
