- The PSG vs Borussia Dortmund game will be played on Tuesday at 10 PM.
- Dortmund have a 0-1 advantage from the first leg.
- The Parc des Princes Stadium in Paris will host the match.
French Ligue 1 powerhouse PSG will host Borussia Dortmund at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday night in a must-win UEFA Champions League second-leg semifinal clash.
PSG will be seeking to bounce back from their narrow 1-0 defeat in the first league encounter which was played a week ago at the scary Signal Iduna Park.
Borussia Dortmund’s goal came courtesy of Niclas Fullkrug in the first half of the match which saw the Parisiens miss several goalscoring chances.
PSG head coach Luis Enrique is aware that the failure to convert chances on Tuesday will make his side miss the opportunity of playing in the final of the prestigious competition scheduled to be staged at Wembley Stadium on June 1.
On the day, the French outfit will hope the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele show up when they are needed most since Dortmund have a solid backline.

The Germany-based club has played five Champions League fixtures this season without conceding a goal, and having a one-goal advantage puts them in a good place to progress to the next round.
Dortmund also travel to Paris on the back of a 5-1 demolition of Augsburg in a Bundesliga match played on Saturday.
Arsenal academy product Doyen Malen, Youssoufa Moukoko (brace), Felix Nmecha, and the ever-green Marco Reus were on the score sheet for the Edin Terzić charges.
On the other hand, PSG has not played a game since their defeat at the hands of BVB, hence they have had more rest.

PSG vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
PSG are the favorites to win this match and book a ticket to final of the Champions League because of the experienced players they have in their squad.

However, Dortmund should not be completely ruled out since they have shown in the past few months that they have the ability to beat any side. Therefore, football fans should expect an enticing football match that might be decided on penalties.
