After inaugural two draws to Lorient and Toulouse at the beginning of the 2023/24 Ligue 1 campaign, PSG showed strength by bagging seven goals in consecutive victories over the likes of Lens and Lyon.

The rise in form intertwined with the return of Kylian Mbappe to the pitch. The French superstar has already bagged five goals in three league appearances and he will be ready to lead PSG’s line in another campaign in the elite continental competition.

Les Parisiens start their new UEFA Champions League adventure with the home clash against German runners-up Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday evening at Parc des Princes.

The story is completely opposite with BVB whose consecutive slip-ups against Bochum and Heidenheim have significantly hurt their ambitions of challenging for the domestic title.

Head coach Edin Terzic has reasons to be worried about his team’s defensive line ahead of the clash with the red-hot PSG attack led by Mbappe.

The fact that Borussia Dortmund shipped two goals away at newly-promoted Heidenheim before the international break says enough about their defensive prowess ahead of the trip to Paris.

Latest Meetings

These two teams locked horns in the last 16 round of the UEFA Champions League four seasons ago when PSG advanced 3-2 on aggregate.

Both teams managed wins on the home patch on the occasion, though.

Historically, we have seen three or more goals just once in the previous four head to head encounters between these rivals.

The Verdict

Borussia’s back line has struggled against German minnows in recent games and we can by no means be optimistic regarding their chances against Kylian Mbappe’s PSG.

The home win is the way to go at the 1.61 odds while we will also back the in-form Mbappe to score anytime at the odds of 1.80. The Frenchman has five goals in three Ligue 1 appearances this season.
