Dortmund vs PSG: Top free betting tips
Borussia Dortmund face PSG in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday 13 December in a match that the away side need to win if they are to guarantee a spot in the UCL round of 16. Borussia Dortmund, who are already through, need a point to finish top of Group F. Given what's on the line, our Dortmund vs PSG prediction is for a cagey affair with one goal deciding it.
Match result prediction: PSG to win
PSG have come up with a couple of big results in Europe recently and their last-minute equaliser against Newcastle a fortnight ago should stand them in good stead here. The Parisians beat Dortmund 2-0 emphatically in the reverse fixture and have won their last eight league matches so are in good form.
Total goals prediction: Under 3.5 goals
Under normal circumstances, a tie between Borussia Dortmund and PSG would feel like a guarantee for goals. Both teams play on the front foot but considering there is so much riding on this one, we expect Luis Enrique to exercise caution. What's more, Dortmund head into the match in poor form and are without a win in their last three games so confidence isn't exactly flowing through their team.
Correct score prediction: Dortmund 1-2 PSG
Despite Dortmund being higher in Group F, PSG are definitely the form team coming into this one. Add to that the fact that they NEED to win this match, we believe they will come out on top against a team that may not play at 100% given they don't need to. PSG were brilliant in the reverse fixture and we haven't seen enough since to make us believe Dortmund can turn the tables and win this one.
Dortmund vs PSG team news
Dortmund predicted lineup vs PSG
Despite being mathematically through to the last 16, Dortmund boss Edin Terzic will play his strongest possible eleven here to a) ensure his side qualifies as group winners and b) to try and eliminate PSG from the competition. Terzic will be without Emre Can for this due to suspension and Ryerson, Moukoko, Haller and Duranville due to injury. Meanwhile, Marcel Sabitzer and Marius Wolf face a race against time to be fit for the match.
Kobel – Wolf, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini – Sabitzer, Ozcan – Reus, Brandt, Gittens – Fullkrug
PSG predicted lineup vs Dortmund
The biggest blow for Luis Enrique coming into the match is the absence of Ousmane Dembele. The Frenchman is unavailable due to suspension which means Goncalo Ramos will likely start the match. Teenager, Warren Zaire-Emery could get the nod in midfielder after recovering quickly from an ankle injury, however, the likes of Nuno Mendes and Presnel Kimpembe remain injured.
Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez – Lee, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha – Ramos, Kolo Muani, Mbappe
