Borussia Dortmund vs PSG Pick and Prediction
| ODDS | AI PICKS |
| MONEYLINE | Borussia Dortmund +186 |
This is an interesting first leg of UCL matchups in Europe this week. Dortmund have a poor record against the Parisians after winning just once in their last six previous meetings, while PSG have never won an away match against their German rivals.
It is likely that this first leg could be a timid affair, with the Germans chasing an advantage without leaving the back door open. Therefore, a solid Dortmund vs PSG prediction could be the home victory with both teams failing to score.
Borussia Dortmund vs PSG Head to Head

Borussia Dortmund vs PSG Analysis
Borussia Dortmund Preview
There will be increased pressure on the home side in this first leg. As the Champions League could present Dortmund with their best chance of getting back into the competition next term. The recent Dortmund scores mean that a top four finish in the Bundesliga is looking increasingly unlikely.
This will be the fourth time that Dortmund will be playing in the semi-finals of the Champions League. And they have reached the final on two of their previous three appearances at this stage. Their only elimination came in the 1997-98 season at the hands of Real Madrid.
Dortmund’s home record in the competition could be one of the key UCL team stats to consider this week. They are unbeaten in their last ten matches at Signal Iduna Park, which is their longest unbeaten sequence in their European history.
Their home advantage was key in the previous round after securing a 4-2 home success against Atletico Madrid to progress with a 5-4 aggregate victory. Also, and fortunately, there are no fresh UCL injuries to report ahead of this crucial first leg.
PSG Preview
The Champions League is the holy grail for PSG, as it remains the one honor that they have failed to capture during the QSI era. PSG remain on course for the Ligue 1 title this term, meaning that their whole focus will be on these two semi-final legs against Dortmund.
However, the fact that they have failed to win in three previous visits to Dortmund would be a concern, while they finished below their rivals in the UCL standings before the turn of the year.
PSG will be competing at this stage of the competition for the fourth time. However, they have lost both two-legged ties at this stage, with their only success coming in a one-leg shootout in 2019-20 during the COVID-impacted European campaign.
The PSG roster produced one of their best displays of the season in the previous round after landing a 4-1 away success against Barcelona. Kylian Mbappe improved his UCL player stats after netting a brace in Catalonia.
