Bet of the Day: PSG beat Borussia Dortmund and BTTS appeals as Champions League returns

14th September 2021

PSG beat Borussia Dortmund and BTTS is Bet of the Day for 18/02/20

The Champions League returns on Tuesday, so PSG beat Borussia Dortmund and BTTS odds appeal in their last 16 first leg fixture.

This game sees the French Ligue 1 leaders away to the team third in the German Bundesliga. Dortmund have lost three of their last seven games, while PSG have only been beaten three times all season.

Thomas Tuchel faces his former club here and his current side are unbeaten across all competitions since 1 November. PSG also have the mighty Neymar fit again after a rib injury.

Fellow star forward Kylian Mbappe was rested at the weekend, so is fresh for this. He has a fine record against Dortmund with three goals in two previous European outings when with Monaco.

While that makes a Mbappe wincast at 23/10 with Paddy Power a punt to consider, marginally better odds are available on an away victory and both teams finding the target.

Why PSG beat Borussia Dortmund and BTTS odds appeal most

PSG have conceded goals in each of their last three games on the road. Thanks to a change in Champions League rules, Dortmund winter window signing Erling Braut Haaland is eligible to play.

With him available and scoring eight in six for Red Bull Salzburg in the group stage, the PSG defence has a real handful to deal with.

As the greater star power is in the visiting attack, however, the Parisians may simply outscore Dortmund. The German hosts have only kept two clean sheets in their last eight matches.

It all adds up to PSG beating Borussia Dortmund and BTTS making sense at 12/5 with 888Sport here. This fixture promises goals at both ends.

Dortmund’s young exciting team may have home advantage at the Wesfalenstadion, but bookmakers have PSG favourites to take lead back to Paris.

Despite Champions League holders Liverpool tackling Atletico Madrid in another last 16 tie, this fixture could prove the more exciting to watch.

Bet of the Day: 12/5 with 888Sport, PSG beat Borussia Dortmund and BTTS in the Champions League.
