Barcelona are on top of their group but are hardly firing on all cylinders. They scraped past bottom club Leganes in their last La Liga encounter to a 2-1 victory. The Catalan giants are short in the defensive department for this match as Gerard Pique is suspended and Clement Lenglet may miss out due to injury. Samuel Umtiti is the only first-team centre-back available and is expected to start if he is fit enough and either Todibo or Ronald Araujo will have to partner the Frenchmen in defence. Borussia Dortmund themselves are struggling, as they had to come back from a three-goal deficit in their domestic league match against bottom club Paderborn. Paco Alcacer will be unavailable for Dortmund as the striker was injured in their last match. UEFA Champions League 2019-20: Tottenham Hotspur Defeat Olympiacos by 4-2.
