The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Borussia Dortmund lock horns with Luis Enrique's PSG side in a crucial semifinal clash at Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday.
Borussia Dortmund vs PSG Preview
PSG have already won the Ligue 1 title this season and could potentially win the treble this season. The Parisian giants were held to a 3-3 draw by Le Havre in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the Bundesliga table and have been inconsistent over the past year. The home side suffered a comprehensive 4-1 defeat at the hands of RB Leipzig last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.

Borussia Dortmund vs PSG Prediction
PSG have grown in stature under Luis Enrique and seem to have come together as a cohesive unit. The likes of Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele can be unstoppable on their day and will look to make their mark in the final third on Wednesday.
Borussia Dortmund have been ineffective on the domestic front but have fought their way to the semifinals of the Champions League. PSG are the better team on paper, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
