Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is advancing in their quest to capture their first Champions League title, setting the stage for a crucial semi-final clash against Borussia Dortmund. As they prepare to travel for the first leg of the semi-finals, PSG is keen to secure a strong result that they can take advantage of in the subsequent home leg.
This season, the two clubs have already faced each other in the group stages, where PSG triumphed in their home game and secured a draw in Dortmund. A repeat performance of these results would be sufficient for PSG to progress to the final, which will be held at Wembley Stadium. Such a scenario could be especially memorable if it coincides with Kylian Mbappe's potential final game for PSG, should he decide to leave the club.
Dortmund, meanwhile, has shown remarkable resilience and skill by defeating Atletico Madrid to reach the semi-finals, a stage they haven't reached since 2013.
Betting on over 2.5 goals might be wise, as both teams have shown the capability to score, and the game is expected to be open and attacking.

Borussia Dortmund's recent performances have been a mixed bag. In their encounter with Atletico Madrid, they secured a convincing 4-2 victory, followed by a 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen. However, their most recent match saw them suffer a significant 4-1 loss to RB Leipzig.
Despite these ups and downs, Dortmund has maintained a strong record at Signal Iduna Park in the Champions League, winning four out of six matches, drawing two, and not losing any. They have scored ten goals and conceded only three in these games.
For the upcoming first leg against PSG, Dortmund is hopeful that center-back Mats Hummels will be available after being injured in the match against RB Leipzig. However, the team faces concerns over the fitness of Donyell Malen and Ian Maatsen. Additionally, Sebastien Haller is likely to miss the game due to an ongoing recovery from an ankle injury that has sidelined him for the past few weeks.
Dortmund has injury concerns and might be without a couple of starters.
Predicted Lineup: Kobel; Sule, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Sabitzer, Ozcan; Reus, Brandt, Bynoe-Gittens; Fullkrug
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is currently in fine form to face any challenger, as evidenced by their recent performances where they secured seven points from three matches. They achieved dominant victories against Lyon and Lorient, winning 4-1 and 4-1 respectively.
However, their winning streak was halted by Le Havre, who managed to secure a draw in a high-scoring 3-3 match. In their last six away games in the Champions League, PSG managed two wins and a draw but suffered three losses, scoring nine goals and conceding eleven during these fixtures.
Looking ahead to their match in Germany, Kylian Mbappe, who was used as a substitute in the recent game against Le Havre, is expected to return to the starting lineup for PSG. Meanwhile, defender Presnel Kimpembe has resumed individual training after a lengthy absence due to injury, but this upcoming match will be too soon for him to participate.
Mbappe is likely to start despite not being 100%.
Predicted Lineup: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez; Lee, Ugarte, Vitinha; Barcola, Kolo Muani, Mbappe
Given Dortmund's injury concerns, particularly in their defensive lineup, and PSG's formidable attacking strength, led by Kylian Mbappe, PSG seems well-positioned to exploit Dortmund's vulnerabilities.
With Dortmund's mixed recent form and PSG's motivation to secure a favorable result away from home, a predicted scoreline in favour of PSG is on the cards.
This outcome would set PSG up nicely for the return leg in Paris and could see them make it to the finals this time around.
