Borussia Dortmund vs Paris Saint-Germain: Champions League team news, match preview

Form Guide

On Saturday, Borussia Dortmund were handed a 4-1 defeat by rivals RB Leipzig in what was a crucial game in the race to finish fourth in the Bundesliga. BVB now find themselves in fifth place, five points adrift of Leipzig with just three games to play.

However, Edin Terzic's side will have extra incentive against PSG as a win in the first leg would likely be enough to secure an extra spot for Bundesliga clubs in next season's revamped Champions League.

It has been a season full of ups and downs for Borussia Dortmund, with performances in the Bundesliga leaving a lot to be desired. But BVB have shown with wins over Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich that they are more than capable of going toe to toe with big teams.

PSG could only manage a 3-3 draw against Le Havre on Saturday, but AS Monaco’s 3-2 defeat to Lyon helped them secure their 12th Ligue 1 title on Sunday. They have been in fine goalscoring form of late, having scored 15 goals in their last four games across all competitions.
