Both Dortmund and Barcelona are currently in the top eight of the Champions League table - meaning a direct ticket to the round of 16.
Dortmund have struggled in the Bundesliga under new coach Nuri Sahin. The home side are currently sixth in the Bundesliga, 12 points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
But in Europe, their performance has been very good. They have had impressive performances against Dinamo Zagreb, Celtic and Club Brugge, bringing home 12 points from 5 games.
Barcelona also have 12 points but are above Dortmund due to a better goal difference. In La Liga, Hansi Flick's team are showing signs of instability after failing to win their last match against Real Betis. The first team is gradually getting tired due to the tight schedule, after a great start to the season.
The bench is not good enough and coach Flick is now relying on 11-12 individuals. They are top of La Liga but only 2 points ahead of Real Madrid. With this situation, it will be difficult for the Spanish representative to maintain good results through the busy end of the year.
