PREDICTION

PSG holds the advantage of playing at home and have already demonstrated their ability to overcome Borussia Dortmund at their home ground earlier in the Champions League. With a one-goal deficit to overcome, PSG are poised to replicate their quarter-final success against Dortmund. Despite their wastefulness in the first leg, PSG are expected to be more efficient in front of their home crowd. However, Borussia Dortmund possesses pace on the counter-attack and a reliable goal scorer in Fullkrug, posing a threat to PSG's defence. While Dortmund may find the net, PSG are still fancied to secure victory within 90 minutes, akin to their quarter-final triumph over Barcelona.
