Borussia Dortmund vs PSG Betting Odds & Preview
Winner Clinches Group F
Group of Death Concludes Wednesday
Champions League Group F has produced some excellent matchups and Wednesday is no exception. The Group of Death concludes as Newcastle host AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund take on PSG. Dortmund have struggled in the Bundesliga lately but they’ve already qualified for the UCL round of 16. They’ll just need to draw vs. PSG to clinch the group, while PSG may need to win just to go through. In one of the best matches of the week, let’s run through the Borussia Dortmund vs PSG betting odds.
Borussia Dortmund vs PSG
Date, time:
Location: Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund, Germany
Streaming: Live Sports Stream
Head-to-Head
In the all-time UCL stats, PSG are 2-1 vs. Borussia Dortmund. In September, Achraf Hakimi and Kylian Mbappe scored as PSG defeated Dortmund 2-0 at the Parc des Princes. The pre-match UCL betting odds listed the Parisians -135 favorites at home. The road team has still never won in five meetings of this fixture. PSG are 2-2-1 vs. Dortmund in UEFA competitions all-time.
Dortmund Winless in Last Three
Since clinching a berth in the Champions League round of 16 with a 3-1 win at AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund have had a rough go of things. Edin Terzic’s side are winless in their last three games. They did well to draw at Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen in their first match of December. However, Dortmund lost 2-0 to Stuttgart in last week’s DFB-Pokal round of 16 in one of their most disappointing performances of recent memory.
They followed it up with a 3-2 loss to RB Leipzig at home over the weekend. Mats Hummels got himself a red card in the first 15 minutes of the match and Dortmund fought admirably with a man down. Julian Brandt, who has been Borussia Dortmund’s most productive player this season, provided assists on both of BVB’s goals in a losing effort. Bettors should note that Dortmund haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last six matches, in all competitions. Here, the Borussia Dortmund vs PSG betting odds price the hosts as +280 underdogs.
Over the last few weeks, the injuries have piled up for Dortmund. Terzic will have to deal with Julian Ryerson, Youssoufa Moukoko, Sebastien Haller and Felix Nmecha out for Wednesday’s match. Meanwhile, both Marius Wolf and Marcel Sabitzer are questionable. Plus, Emre Can is suspended and will return for the round of 16.
With all of the absences and a spot in the round of 16 secured, it remains to be seen whether Dortmund will take their foot of the gas. Still, they will theoretically draw an easier opponent if they’re able to pick up a point here and clinch the group.
PSG Win Clinches the Group
Paris Saint-Germain won their eighth straight Ligue 1 match on Saturday when they took down Nantes, 2-1. Bradley Barcola scored his first goal for PSG in the match and substitute Randal Kolo Muani scored the winner. Eight matches marked PSG’s longest Ligue 1 winning streak for 2.5 years. It’s also the longest active winning streak in any of Europe’s top five leagues at the moment. While Ligue 1 titles are expected for PSG, they’re yet to win an elusive Champions League trophy.
So, facing potential elimination, this is a massive match for the Parisians. They’ll need to win to guarantee a spot in the round of 16, which they’ve done in each of the last 11 seasons. While Ousmane Dembele is out suspended for Wednesday’s match, expect Kylian Mbappe to play a key role here. He scored the equalizing penalty in PSG’s last UCL game vs. Newcastle and leads the team with three Champions League goals so far.
Some of the biggest Inter Milan news over the Summer was that Milan Skriniar was set to join PSG. So far, the defender has started all five of the Parisians’ UCL matches, along with Achraf Hakimi and Lucas Hernandez at the back. PSG are starting to hit their stride under Luis Enrique and it’d be a massive disappointment if they’re unable to qualify for the knockout stage here.
Match Analysis & Odds
With PSG going all out for a win here, they are currently -120 ATS and moneyline favorites to win the match and group. Still, they have never won at the Signal Iduna Park and Borussia Dortmund will want to get a result in front of their home fans to clinch the group as well. The Borussia Dortmund vs PSG betting odds currently price the hosts as +275 underdogs.
Borussia Dortmund +0.5 also comes in at even odds as they’re on a four-game unbeaten in the UCL. Still, it’s undoubtedly concerning how much Dortmund have conceded as of late and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see both teams get on the scoresheet. As long as there as a winner in the Newcastle vs. AC Milan match, a draw would eliminate PSG.
While one is priced at +300, Luis Enrique’s side will do everything in their power to avoid one. Under three goals currently show -115 odds as PSG have conceded just four times in their last five games, in all competitions.
