Each of PSG’s last five matches has seen over 3.5 goals scored, while both teams have found the net in each of Dortmund’s last five outings. PSG has secured three wins from their past four games, and Kylian Mbappe has been prolific, scoring eight goals in this season’s Champions League. An enthralling encounter awaits at Signal Iduna Park.
Both Dortmund and PSG have shown resilience, overcoming deficits against Spanish teams to advance from the Champions League quarter-finals. Dortmund bounced back from a 2-1 first-leg defeat to Atletico Madrid, triumphing 4-2 in the return leg amidst the fervent support of their ‘Yellow Wall’.
PSG, meanwhile, responded to a 3-2 first-leg loss to Barcelona with a resounding 4-1 victory in Catalonia. Clearly, both sides are adept at scoring, suggesting a goal-rich semi-final is likely.
PSG’s recent form is promising, yet their 3-3 draw against Le Havre highlighted some vulnerabilities, particularly under Champions League pressure. Dortmund are formidable at home but were recently exposed in a 4-1 defeat to Leipzig.
Predicting a clear winner in this first leg is challenging, but expecting over 3.5 goals seems a solid bet, especially considering PSG’s recent high-scoring games and Dortmund’s last home game in the Champions League.
Possible High-Scoring PSG Victory
For those considering the correct score market, a PSG victory appears a tempting option. Goals seem likely, and PSG’s performance prior to their draw with Le Havre—securing wins against Barcelona, Lyon, and Lorient—suggests they might just edge it. A 3-1 victory for the visitors could be a smart prediction.
Mbappe to Shine
Kylian Mbappe, having sat out the weekend game, will be eager to make an impact. With plans to leave PSG at the season’s end, he’ll be keen to leave a lasting mark by clinching the Champions League, having already netted eight times in the tournament. His speed and skill could certainly exploit Dortmund’s sometimes shaky defence.
