Our tip: Dortmund – PSG: winner PSG

01.05.2024 21:00

Of all the opponents Dortmund faced in this year’s Champions League, they had the most problems with their semi-final rival. The Parisians won the opening game of the group stage at home 2-0, then played out a much-needed 1-1 draw in Dortmund’s final game with a knife-edge qualification.

Dortmund dominated the group of death ahead of PSG, giving them home advantage in both rounds of the playoffs, which they used to no avail. They beat PSV 2-0 after a 1-1 draw in Eindhoven, erased a 1-2 defeat to Madrid in the quarter-finals and knocked out Atlético 4-2 after a shootout. Now he will be in a different situation, he can’t wait and he needs to build as big a lead as possible before travelling to France.

Four years ago, Borussia’s one-goal lead from their home game (2-1) was not enough in the eighth-final, the Parisians won the rematch 2-0 and reached the final in the covid edition, where they crashed out to Bayern. The same line-up in the final could happen again this year. For Kylian Mbappé, this is the last chance to win the dream trophy for PSG before his expected departure to Real Madrid. While Luis Enrique doesn’t count on the moody striker much in Ligue 1 anymore, he is still indispensable in the Champions League. With eight shots he is the competition’s top scorer, two goals in the quarter-final rematch in Barcelona took him to the 15-goal mark in the play-offs and only Cristiano Ronaldo is ahead of him.

Anyway, PSG are in a very good place. They won the French title early, sending a clear message to all their opponents with a sovereign 4-1 win in Barcelona. It will be difficult for BVB’s defense to catch not only Mbappé, but also Barca and Dembélé, who overshadowed Mbappé’s play in Barcelona. The weekend’s 1-4 debacle in Leipzig, which saw Dortmund 90% out of the Champions League, was a heavy blow ahead of Wednesday’s match against PSG.

What to bet on:

Current form speaks for the Parisians, who feel they have a chance to win the club’s most valuable trophy this year. They will bounce back to reach the London final with a win in Dortmund.

Confidence:

6/10
