We’re getting closer and closer to finding out who will become the new champions of Europe. This week, we’re gearing up for the first leg of the UFEA Champions League semi-finals. Out of the four clubs remaining in the race for the trophy, all of them will believe they’ve got what it takes to go all the way. Today, we’ll be taking a look at the clash between Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.
Borussia Dortmund Form GuideBorussia Dortmund haven’t exactly had a season to remember domestically but in Europe, they could be on the verge of doing something very special indeed. They’ve managed to grind their way through this year’s competition and although they’re considered to be big underdogs in the final four, that doesn’t mean they don’t have the talent necessary to pull off a miracle or two.
Despite losing in the first leg, Dortmund bounced back against Atletico Madrid in the last round and progressed 5-4 on aggregate. Since then, though, they haven’t won a game, drawing 1-1 with Bayer Leverkusen prior to a 4-1 defeat courtesy of RB Leipzig.
PSG Form GuideEveryone knows that Paris Saint-Germain are the alphas of the beautiful game in France but in recent months, it’s seemed as if the wheels are starting to fall off ever so slightly. Between the Kylian Mbappe drama and Lionel Messi & Neymar leaving, you have to wonder what kind of impact it’ll have on the club if they can’t get over the finish line this time around.
Following on from their dramatic triumph over Barcelona in the Champions League, PSG proceeded to rattle off two more 4-1 wins as they defeated Lyon and Lorient. They were, however, held to a surprise 3-3 draw by Le Havre last weekend.
Match PredictionPSG know that this is one of their best chances to lift the European Cup since their reign of terror first began. Dortmund, meanwhile, will likely head into this one knowing that they don’t have a whole lot to lose. In our view, the likeliest outcome here is over 2.5 goals scored.
