PSG vs. Borussia Dortmund Analysis
Mbappe controls the show for PSG
There is little doubt that while several superstars have departed PSG over the past few seasons, anyone making PSG vs Borussia Dortmund betting picks will know that Kylian Mbappe sets the pace for the French Side. In Ligue 1 play, Mbappe has scored seven goals in four matches.
The problem for PSG thus far is it hasn’t gotten much production from anyone else. Marco Asensio and Achraf Hakimi are the only other players to score goals.
Key Injuries
Asensio is out for a month with a foot injury. Nordi Mukiele and Nuno Mendes will also be out with hamstring injuries.
Betting Trends to Know
- PSG averages two goals per game in league play.
- PSG has allowed six goals in five Ligue 1 matches
- PSG has drawn its last two Ligue 1 matches.
Dortmund is capable of big things on offense
The Black and Yellow can put up big numbers on the scoreboard when attacking freely. Soccer stats show that Dortmund is one of those soccer teams constantly going forward. During Dortmund’s last two matches, the Black and Yellow have produced expected goals of 3.4 and 2.3.
Dortmund put up four goals on Freiburg last weekend in league play after Freiburg drew a red card. Anyone making soccer picks can also count on Dutch forward Donyell Malen to be in a position to score goals. He has a team-high three so far in four appearances for Dortmund.
Key Injuries
Dortmund isn’t one of those soccer teams struggling with many injuries. Anyone making soccer picks will see that Thoma Meunier and Mateu Morey will be out until October.
Betting Trends to Know
- Dortmund has drawn two of its last four Bundesliga matches.
- Dortmund is averaging two goals per game in league play.
- The Black and Yellows have allowed five goals in four league games.
PSG vs. Borussia Dortmund Betting Picks
Soccer odds show that grabbing wins early in group play is vital for teams who want to advance comfortably. While both sides have plenty of capable attacking talent, PSG should be able to use Mbappe to cut through the Dortmund defense. Dortmund will struggle to slow PSG’s attack, and the home side should win.
The over/under in this game should see the side go over the total. Champions League scores show that Dortmund can score with any team, where the German side is usually let down by its willingness to get dragged into shootouts.
On the spread, it may be worth taking a shot at Dortmund +1.5. While PSG is still dangerous on the attack, it isn’t the same team it has been the last few years without Lionel Messi and Neymar. With the importance of this game on the soccer leagues standings, both teams may go through a feeling-out process at first.
