Dortmund Out of Form
Since commencing this year’s Champions League group of death with a disappointing 2-0 defeat to their upcoming opponents at the Parc des Princes, Borussia Dortmund have outlined their European credentials and ensured a place in the knockout rounds with a third successive continental win on matchday five.
The situation in Group F is not completely clear. Borussia Dortmund secured the knockout phase, but they could still fall to second position. Dortmund is -125 to win Group F in the UEFA Champions League betting lines.
The hosts expected a slightly better season in the Bundesliga. At the moment, they are fifth on the table with 25 points. That is four points behind the desired top-four status.
They have not won in the last three matches across all competitions, losing twice in the process. Dortmund will be present in the last-16 draw no matter what transpires this week.
Mats Hummels domestic ban means nothing in terms of Champions League football, but Dortmund has lost one experienced head to the rule book for Wednesday’s game as Emre Can must serve a suspension for picking up three yellow cards in Group F.
PSG is Firing on all Cylinders
Paris Saint-Germain needs to pick up the three points in order to win this group while a point will be enough for them to book their knockout stages spot. A defeat combined with a Newcastle win against AC Milan will see them out of the Champions League. They are -115 in online betting to win the group.
PSG is again the strongest Ligue 1 team. They are at the leading spot with four points more than the following team, Nice. PSG won four of the last five matches and they enter this clash full of confidence.
The French superpower warmed up for this crunch clash with a rather labored 2-1 win over Nantes in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
PSG winger Ousmane Dembele is on the naughty step for an accumulation of cautions, offering Bradley Barcola hope of a starting role after he opened his Parisiens account versus Nantes at the weekend.
Teenage sensation Warren Zaire-Emery played 30 minutes off the bench after recovering from an ankle sprain, which was initially expected to rule him out until 2024, but it remains to be seen if Enrique is prepared to risk him this week.
PSG has Upper Hand on Dortmund
The French giants won the last two head-to-heads against Dortmund, scoring at least twice on each occasion and keeping two clean sheets in the process. PSG has conceded in each of their last 15 Champions League away games winning, just five in the process.
They’ve lost each of their last three UCL away fixtures, starting with their last visit to Germany when they were beaten 2-0 by Bayern Munich in March. Dortmund has allowed at least two goals in three of their previous four fixtures across all competitions.
