Borussia Dortmund - PSG: Form Analysis
In the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund is far from shining. The German club has just suffered a heavy defeat against RB Leipzig (4-1) and now faces difficulties in qualifying for the Champions League through the league. Currently, they are in 5th place, 5 points away from the top 4. However, Edin Terzic's team shows a completely different face in the Champions League. They managed to finish top of the "group of death," ahead of AC Milan, Newcastle United, and... PSG! Subsequently, BVB knocked out PSV Eindhoven and, more importantly, Atlético Madrid to reach the Champions League semifinals. However, a different challenge now awaits them. PSG has been gaining strength this season. Although they had to settle for 2nd place in the group stage, the club from the French capital then raised their game level by eliminating Real Sociedad and, most notably, FC Barcelona. Despite a home defeat in the first leg, they managed to turn the tables against Barça away (1-4). Already winners of the Trophée des Champions and Ligue 1, Luis Enrique's men are determined to continue their journey on the European stage.

Borussia Dortmund & PSG Squad Analysis
There are several uncertainties on the Borussia Dortmund side. It is not yet known if Mats Hummels, Ian Maatsen, and Donyell Malen will be available. However, they were able to resume training with the German team earlier this week. Ramy Bensebaini and Sébastien Haller are confirmed to be out. Nonetheless, Edin Terzic still has other assets, including Jadon Sancho. The English winger has just scored his team's only goal last weekend against RB Leipzig. On the PSG side, only Sergio Rico and Presnel Kimpembe will be absent. Otherwise, Luis Enrique will have his full squad available. The club from the French capital can particularly rely on Kylian Mbappé's impressive season, with a total of 43 goals and 10 assists in all competitions. Ousmane Dembélé will also be closely watched. The French winger is having a great season in his first year in Paris. Under the guidance of Luis Enrique, Vitinha will try to continue his excellent performances in midfield.
