2023-24 UEFA Champions League: Borussia Dortmund vs PSG Prediction

EXPECTED XI

Borussia Dortmund

PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Kobel; Ryerson, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Maatsen; Sabitzer, Can; Malen, Brandt, Sancho; Fullkrug

PSG

PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Hernandez, Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz; Dembele, Ramos, Mbappe

PREDICTION

Neither Borussia Dortmund nor PSG are known for their defensive solidity, but their attacking prowess sets the stage for an exciting semi-final first leg. Dortmund's proactive approach at home may create openings, yet they must contend with PSG's potent counter-attacking threat led by Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele. The teams' previous group stage fixture ended in a 1-1 draw, and both quarter-final legs saw both teams scoring. Whether a clear aggregate advantage emerges, betting on both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is a sensible choice.
