Borussia Dortmund vs Paris Saint-Germain Preview

PSG have produced some entertaining games of late and this one promises to have goals too. I'm backing BTTS and over 2.5 as the best bet and for the first leg to end in an entertaining draw.

Head to Head

PSG edge the head to head 2-1 from six previous meetings. There have also been three draws, including a 1-1 stalemate in the group stages of this season's competition in December.

Borussia Dortmund Form

Borussia Dortmund overturned a 2-1 first leg deficit to win their Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid 5-4 on aggregate.

The Bundesliga side led 2-0 at home before being pegged back to 2-2. But two goals in three minutes from Niclas Füllkrug and Marcel Sabitzer sealed a dramatic victory for BVB.

Edin Terzic’s side have failed to win either of their games since, drawing 1-1 with Bayer Leverkusen and losing 4-1 on the road at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.

Borussia Dortmund Injuries & Team News

Ramy Bensabaini and Julien Duranville are out, while their are slight doubts over Sebastian Haller, Mats Hummels, Marcel Sabitzer and Donyell Malen.

PSG Form

PSG stunned Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, winning the second leg 4-1 at the Nou Camp for a 6-4 aggregate win.

Barca won the first leg 3-2 in Paris and extended that lead scoring first at home. But after being reduced to 10 men, PSG took advantage and scored four unanswered goals to progress to the UCL semi-finals.

Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha netted before a Kylian Mbappe double sealed victory.

PSG reeled off two more 4-1 wins in Ligue 1 over Lyon and Lorient, but were held to a 3-3 draw at home by Le Havre at the weekend.

PSG Injuries & Team News

Presnel Kimpembe and Sergio Rico are both missing for the French champions.

Verdict

Borussia Dortmund v PSG

PSG deliver goals wherever they go and I think we will see them again in this semi-final first leg. I'm also backing it to end all square.
