PSG vs. Borussia Dortmund picks and predictions

Prediction

PSG 1, Borussia Dortmund 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+370).

PSG to win outright has no value, and it is unlikely that Dortmund pulls off the upset. PSG has not played that well at home. It lost 3-2 to Barcelona at home in the quarterfinals, ending with 0.7 fewer expected goals.

While beating Real Sociedad 2-0 in the round of 16, PSG ended with only 0.5 more expected goals. Dortmund beat both AC Milan and Newcastle United on the road in the group stage.

Considering how it defended against PSG in the 1st leg, the best play here is DRAW (+370).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-148).

While the 1st leg had a plethora of scoring opportunities, there was just 1 converted. Dortmund has scored more than 2 goals in just 2 of 11 Champions League games, and it has scored 1 or fewer in 7 of those.

PSG has topped 2 in just 2 of 11 games as well and has had fewer than 1.5 expected goals in 6 of 11. It has allowed just 7 goals in 5 games following the group stage.

Both teams have defenses that are playing well enough to bring value to the Under, and this is a lofty total considering the playmakers taking the pitch. With that in mind, back UNDER 3.5 (-148).
