Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid square off at Wembley Stadium in London for the UEFA Champions League Final Saturday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Borussia Dortmund vs. Real Madrid odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

These teams haven’t met since 2017, and Real Madrid won both matchups in 2017, beating Dortmund 3-2 and 3-1 in the Champions League.

With the season over, Real is the official winner of La Liga, the top league in Spain. They ended with a +61 goal differential, having tallied 87 and allowed 26. In Champions League play, Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich 2-1 at home following a 2-2 road draw to advance. They also beat Man City in the quarterfinals, drawing back-to-back matches and winning on the road in penalty kicks. Madrid won all 6 Champions League group stage games and beat RB Leipzig a combined 2-1 in the Round of 16.

Dortmund finished 5th in the Bundesliga, the top league in Germany, ending with a +25 goal differential, averaging 2.00 goals per game while allowing 1.26 per game. They ended the year strong, going 11-1-4 throughout all competitions. In the Champions League, Dortmund finished the group stage 3-2-1 before beating PSV 3-1 in the Round of 16 and then edging Athletico Madrid 5-4 in the quarterfinals.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Borussia Dortmund vs. Real Madrid picks and predictions

Prediction

Borussia Dortmund 1, Real Madrid 1 (Real Madrid wins in overtime)

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+310).

Madrid has drawn 4 of their last 5 Champions League matches. Simply put, they play to the level of their competition. In those 5 matches, they drew RB Leipzig at home, City away and at home and Bayern Munich on the road. While City and Munich are far away better teams than Leipzig, that draw is most concerning as Madrid should’ve been able to blow them out at home, but rather played to their level and even had fewer expected goals.

For Dortmund, while they have won 3 straight Champions League matches, 2 of those ended within 0.4 expected goals, and in the 3rd they had 3.2 fewer expected goals. They are going to be the inferior side, and the moneyline suggests that as well. However, they are good enough to keep things close, and for this value, back DRAW (+310).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+108).

While older Champions League Final games did have more scoring, over the past half a decade, the scoring has been limited. All 5 of those games went under 2.5 goals and the last 4 have resulted in a 1-0 finish. While on paper both teams have dynamic attacks, at this level of play and the unfamiliarity of the teams, scoring isn’t easy.

Madrid has gone Under this total in 3 of 6 Champions League games since the group stage. Dortmund has gone Under it in 4 of their last 6 Champions League matches despite playing an ultra-talented PSG attack. With that in mind, back UNDER 2.5 (+108).

PSG vs. Borussia Dortmund odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s PSG vs. Borussia Dortmund odds and lines, with Champions League expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

PSG welcomes Borussia Dortmund to Parc des Princes for the 2nd leg of its UEFA Champions League semifinal matchup Tuesday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the PSG vs. Borussia Dortmund odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Dortmund won the 1st leg at home 1-0, ending with 42% possession, 13 shots, and 4 shots on frame. PSG ended with 14 shots and 3 shots on frame. F Niclas Fullkrug scored the lone goal in the 36th minute.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

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).

Borussia Dortmund vs. PSG odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Borussia Dortmund vs. PSG odds and lines, with Champions League expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Borussia Dortmund welcomes PSG to Signal Iduna Park Wednesday for the 1st leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Borussia Dortmund vs. PSG odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

PSG sits 12 points ahead of AS Monaco in Ligue 1 play — the top league in France. PSG beat Barcelona 4-1 on the road in the 2nd leg of its quarterfinal matchup April 16, and won 6-4 on aggregate. PSG beat Real Sociedad a combined 4-1 through 2 legs of the Round of 16 following a disappointing 2-2-2 group-stage effort. It finished 2nd in a group led by Dortmund, so these teams are familiar with each other.

Dortmund was 3-2-1 in the group stage, ending with 7 goals for and 4 against. It beat Atletico Madrid a combined 5-4, winning 4-2 at home in the 2nd leg April 16. Dortmund beat PSV 3-1 in the Round of 16. Dortmund has had a disappointing season in league play, sitting 5th in the Bundesliga despite a +20 goal differential. F Niclas Fullkrug, who has 12 goals and 8 asssists in 28 league matches, is Dortmund’s top attacking threat.

  • Over/Under: 3.5 (O: +126 | U: -154)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Borussia Dortmund vs. PSG picks and predictions

Prediction

PSG 2, Borussia Dortmund 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET PSG (+145).

In 2 group-stage matches against Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain won 2-0 at home (Sept. 19, 2023) and drew 1-1 on the road (Dec. 13, 2023).

Dortmund ended with 1.4 fewer expected goals at home and 1.7 fewer on the road. Dortmund has had as many or fewer expected goals in all 4 games following the group stage. It has gotten the results but hasn’t played like an elite side, and PSG should be able to expose that.

PSG is coming off an impressive 4-1 road win over Barcelona, which sits 2nd in La Liga. PSG has the firepower in F Kylian Mbappe (26 goals, 7 assists in 28 matches) to get the job done and has proven it can win big games on the road.

BACK PSG (+145).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-154).

While both teams netted 4 goals in their last respective Champions League match, neither has consistently scored throughout the league this season. Dortmund tallied 7 goals in 6 group-stage matches and then 4 goals in its first 3 games following. It has only scored 2 or more in 4 of 10 games.

PSG has gone Under this total in 6 of its last 8 Champions League matches, having tallied more than 2 in just 2 of 10 matches. It has allowed fewer than 1.5 expected goals in every Champions League match this season.

Expect fewer goals, especially given how familiar the teams are with each other and how the 2 group-stage games were played. TAKE UNDER 3.5 (-154).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Borussia Dortmund vs. Atletico Madrid picks and predictions

Prediction

Borussia Dortmund 1, Atletico Madrid 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+260).

Dortmund will be at home, but against quality Champions League teams at home, it hasn’t dominated. They were 1-2-0 (2 draws) at home in the group stage and had fewer expected goals in 2 of the 3. They also has as many expected goals as PSG in their 2-0 Round of 16 home win.

Despite Atletico’s struggles on the road, they did have a strong enough performance to home to suggest they are the better side. They ended with 1.3 more expected goals. Atletico has also been better in league play.

Considering Madrid is on the road, the value here is on the draw. Back DRAW (+260).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Dortmund has gone Under this total in 3 of their last 4 Champions League fixtures. They actually have gone Under this total in 7 of 9 Champions League matches, including the 6 group stage battles. Dortmund has allowed multiple goals in those 9 games just 2 times and has 4 clean sheets.

Atletico didn’t have as competitive of a group stage, but they have gone Under in 2 of their last games, and they have had 1.3 or fewer expected goals in 5 of 9.

Considering the trends for both teams and how competitive this game should be played, back UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Newcastle United vs. Borussia Dortmund odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Three players have tallied 3 league goals each for Dortmund, but M Marco Reus, who is 34, is the engine for this midfield and into the attack.

Newcastle United vs. Borussia Dortmund picks and predictions

Prediction

Newcastle United 1, Borussia Dortmund 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+310).

Newcastle throttled PSG at home, but United had the exact same amount of expected goals.

Against Milan, they were on the road and had 1.6 fewer expected goals despite earning a draw. While Newcastle has been good in EPL action at home, it did lose to Liverpool, the best opponent it has welcomed to St. James’ Park so far this season.

Similarly, Dortmund drew Milan, and they have yet to lose on the road in league play. They have a talented roster and should be ample to play a close game with Newcastle.

Back DRAW (+310).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Dortmund has gone Under this total in both Champions League matches while Newcastle is 1-1 O/U. Dortmund has scored 2 or more goals in 5 matches throughout 11 competitions this season.

Newcastle has scored 2 or more in 6 of 12. Both teams have strong defense as well. United has had a clean sheet in 6 of their last 8 games. Given the strong defenses and the inconsistent offenses, take UNDER 2.5 (+120).

PSG welcomes Borussia Dortmund to Parc des Princes Tuesday. Kickoff in the 1st Group F match for both clubs is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the PSG vs. Borussia Dortmund odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

PSG is off to a 2-2-1 start (2 draws) through 5 matches in Ligue 1, the top French league. It has scored 10 goals and allowed 6 in the 5 matches and has gone 2-0-1 at home. The PSG offense has been a 1-man show as F Kylian Mbappe, who had offers to leave the club this offseason, has 7 of the team’s 10 goals. PSG lost 0-3 aggregate to Bayern Munich after advancing past the Champions Leagues group stage last season.

Borussia Dortmund is 2-2-0 through 4 matches and sits 7th in the Bundesliga, the top German league. It has scored 8 goals and allowed 5 in the 4 matches. They are led by 24-year-old Netherlands F Donnell Males, who has 3 goals in 4 matches. Dortmund, which is 1-1-0 on the road this season,  also advanced out of the group stage last season but lost 1-2 aggregate to Chelsea in the Round of 16.

PSG vs. Borussia Dortmund picks and predictions

Prediction

PSG 2, Borussia Dortmund 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET PSG (-130).

Dortmund struggled on the road in the Champions League last season. They lost 2-0 in the Round of 16 to Chelsea and 2-1 to Manchester City, the best team in their group stage draw. Dortmund hasn’t played a team of PSG’s caliber yet, having yet to take on Bayern Munich or even Union Berlin.

While PSG has struggled, Mbappe should be active and has ample Champions League experience. PSG has had 2 or more expected goals in 2 of 5 matches and more expected goals than its opponent in 4 of 5 matches. It doesn’t have the results to show for it, but the high-end talent is there. Expect PSG to come out on top at home.

At this value, back PSG (-130).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 3.5 (-160).

Dortmund has gone Over this total in 2 of 4 league matches. PSG has gone Over it in 3 of 5. However, this will be the best defense either side has faced so far this season, and without the 2 sides having much experience against each other, the different styles could cause the defense to have more success.

PSG went Under this total in 6 of 8 Champions League games last season. Dortmund went Under it in 7 of 8. The value isn’t great, but it is the far safer side. Take UNDER 3.5 (-160).

Borussia Dortmund vs. Mainz odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Borussia Dortmund vs. Mainz odds and lines, with Bundesliga expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Borussia Dortmund (22 wins, 7 losses, 4 draws) welcomes Mainz (12-12-9) to Signal Iduna Park Saturday. Kickoff for the regular-season finale is set for 9:30 a.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Borussia Dortmund vs. Mainz odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Dortmund (70 points) — which sits atop the Bundesliga table, leading Bayern Munich by 2 points — is coming off a 3-0 road victory vs. Augsburg last weekend. The Black and Yellows are 5-0-2 in their last 7 games and haven’t lost a league game since April 1. They are led by F Julian Brandt, who has 9 goals and 8 assists in 31 matches. F Donyell Malen and F Sebastien Haller also have 9 goals apiece, tied with Brandt for the team lead. With a win, Dortmund, which is 14-1-1 at home this season, will claim the Bundesliga title.

Mainz sits 9th on the table and is just 6-7-3 on the road. It is coming off a 4-1 loss to Stuttgart Sunday and has lost 4 straight games. It has been outscored 13-3 during the skid. F Marcus Ingvartsen leads the club with 10 goals in 27 matches.

Borussia Dortmund vs. Mainz picks and predictions

Prediction

Borussia Dortmund 3, Mainz 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Borussia Dortmund is at home where it has virtually been unbeatable.

On top of that, Dortmund is playing for the Bundesliga title. There will be no holding back from the No. 1 team in the league, but the -550 ML price is way too costly. There is no value to risk 5.5 times for a potential return on the home side.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER ALTERNATE 3.5 (+140).

Mainz has gone Under this total in 7 of its last 11 games. Its defense, which has allowed 1.61 goals per game this season, held its opponent to 0 or 1 goal in 6 of those. The offense, which averages 1.58 goals per game, has only scored multiple times in 4 of them. Overall, Mainz hasn’t played that many high-scoring battles lately.

Dortmund, on the other hand, has gone Under in 2 of its last 4 and has held its opponent scoreless in 3 of its last 5 games. It has allowed just 3 goals in its last 5 matches. Dortmund has scored more than 3 goals in 4 of its last 12. It does have a dynamic offense, but one should expect a good defensive effort with the title on the line.

Ultimately, TAKE UNDER 3.5 (+140).

Borussia Dortmund vs. 1. FC Union Berlin picks and predictions

Prediction

Borussia Dortmund 2, Union Berlin 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN BORUSSIA DORTMUND (-165).

Dortmund has been incredible at home this season, and while it has hit a rough patch in performance as of late, Dortmund has won 11 of its last 15 matches throughout all competitions. It has won 9 of its last 11 league matches and its last 7 home league matches.

Union hasn’t been great on the road and has lost 3 of its last 4 road matches throughout all competitions. Although the juice is there, BORUSSIA DORTMUND (-165) is worth a small play.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-120).

Dortmund has been far superior offensively at home than on the road. It has scored in all 12 home matches and has scored more than 1 goal in all but 3. Plus, Dortmund has scored 3 or more goals in half of them.

Similarly, Dortmund has just 5 clean sheets, so its defense hasn’t been terrific at home. Union has been held scoreless in 4 of 13 road matches. It will more than likely be able to get 1 goal on Dortmund.

Union has had just 4 clean sheets on the road as well. Both teams score more than 1.5 goals per game and allow more than 1. Expect goals to come in this high-profile battle. TAKE OVER 2.5 (-120).

Chelsea vs. Borussia Dortmund picks and predictions

Prediction

Chelsea 2, Borussia Dortmund 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET CHELSEA (-111).

Chelsea went on the road last month and had 21 shots and 7 on target. Dortmund, despite being at home, only had 14 shots and 2 on target. They ended up winning 1-0. Chelsea also had more possession.

Chelsea won that game, although the scoreboard didn’t display that. At home, coming off a win, Chelsea should have similar success. D Reece James could return as well which could be a huge boost for their backline.

Dortmund similarly hasn’t been great on the road, having 5 losses in 12 league games. They also lost their lone competitive group stage road match, a 2-1 loss to Manchester City.

Ultimately, considering how the 2 sides’ last game was played and Dortmund’s lack of success on the road, back CHELSEA (-111).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (+100).

Chelsea has given up multiple goals in 1 of their last 8 games throughout all competitions. Three of their last 4 games have ended 1-0. Throughout all competitions, Chelsea has been held scoreless in 5 of their last 7. They have struggled to score this season yet have an elite defense.

Dortmund allows just 1.22 goals per game in league play as well. They have gone Under in 4 of their 7 Champions League matches this season and have gone Under this total in 3 of their last 5 games throughout all competitions.

Ultimately, back the UNDER 2.5 (+100).

Borussia Dortmund vs. Chelsea picks and predictions

Prediction

Chelsea 1, Borussia Dortmund 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+245).

Chelsea has an ultra-deep roster, but it will be down players like F Christian Pulisic and F N’Golo Kante. F Raheem Sterling is likely to miss the game as well. However, Moukoko being out could be an even bigger deal than Chelsea being down multiple 1st-team players.

Dortmund played to the level of their competition in the group stage, having posted 3 draws in 6 games. They drew both Manchester City and FC Copenhagen. Chelsea drew just once in their group stage, but in league play, they have 7 draws in 22 matches, 4 of those coming on the road.

With these teams being unfamiliar with each other, it is likely opportunities are limited. Combine that with key pieces being out and a recent history of tying, and back the DRAW (+245).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-110).

Chelsea has gone Under this in 10 of their last 12 games through all competitions. They have drawn 3 straight league games as well. Chelsea has been held scoreless in 4 of their last 7 games. They have allowed 1 or fewer expected goals in 3 of their last 5 games.

Dortmund went Under this total in their last 3 Champions League matches. They have gone Under in 2 of their last 4 games throughout all competitions and will be without a key goalscorer as well.

Back the UNDER 2.5 (-110).
