Champions League: Borussia Dortmund Vs Paris Saint Germain Predictions and Betting Tips (01/05/2024)

In the first leg of the Champions League semifinals between Borussia Dortmund and PSG, Signal Iduna Park will be the centre of attention. Without injured tandem Sebastian Haller and Ramy Bensebaini, the Yellow-Blacks will attempt to rebound from a crushing 4-1 loss to Leipzig. Major doubts include both Mats Hummels and Donyel Malen; the two will be evaluated before the commencement of play.

On the contrary, Les Parisiens secured a meeting with Borussia Dortmund through a double-header victory over Barcelona. Luis Enrique can rely on important players for the first leg, but it is easier said than done to defeat Borussia Dortmund at the sold-out Signal Iduna Park. Considered as a whole, we think that placing a wager on a draw has significant value. Sergio Rico and Presnel Kimpembe remain sidelined with ailments for the visiting team.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

On the previous occasion, Borussia Dortmund travelled to Paris Saint-Germain; a profitable wager would have been on the draw. Both players shared the points during a 1-1 match where neither could gain the upper hand. Borussia Dortmund enters the match at Signal Iduna Park against Paris Saint-Germain with a 1-3 home record in their previous six meetings. Each team scored in three of the last six meetings between Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.

Borussia Dortmund appear capable of delivering a little bit of everything based on their performance in their last three matches. They emerged victorious 4-2 against Atletico Madrid before being held to a 1-1 stalemate against Bayer Leverkusen. Their most recent defeat, 4-1, was inflicted upon them by RB Leipzig. Borussia Dortmund entered the Signal Iduna Park with four victories in their previous six Champions League matches. They scored ten goals while conceding three and drew twice while losing none.

At this time, Paris Saint-Germain appear well-equipped to face any opponent, having accumulated seven points in their last three contests. They emerged victorious by scores of 4-1 and 1-4, respectively, against Lyon and Lorient. Their unbeaten sequence was terminated with Le Havre in a 3-3 draw, as the latter earned a point. Paris Saint-Germain recorded two victories and one draw during their previous six Champions League away matches. During this stretch, they suffered three defeats, with the scorelines from these contests reading eleven goals conceded and nine goals scored.

Our Predictions

Paris Saint-Germain to win

The match is rated roughly equally by bookmakers, but Borussia Dortmund has recently appeared a little unstable. We anticipate that Paris Saint-Germain will perform admirably at Signal Iduna Park, and we are placing our money on them to do so.

Under 2.5 goals

Thus far in the competition, Borussia Dortmund has proven difficult to break down in front of the home crowd. They scored no more than three goals in four of their five Champions League home fixtures.

Borussia's resolute defensive line will likely deny Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, and company on Wednesday, even though PSG has been scoring absurdly in recent competitions.

Mbappe to score anytime.

This first leg will find Kylian Mbappe in excellent form, as he was spared in the weekend's draw with Le Havre.

The French prodigy, who is set to vacate PSG after the current season, will be frantic about winning the Champions League before he departs. He has scored eight times in the competition thus far. We believe he will find the net again this time.
