Champions League Tips: PSG vs. BVB
The Champions League is finally back and today I am going to take a look at the match between Dortmund and Paris. I go on the assumption that this can be a really good game, with two teams who may well be behind expectations. I recommend the Over/Under today as I expect a lot of goals and a high tempo game. Dortmund's 4-2 win over Freiburg last time out showed that while they may be fragile at the back, they have plenty of quality up front.

Paris St Germain - only 5th in Ligue 1
Mbappe's transfer saga dominated the pre-season build-up, but he is set to remain in the French capital for at least another six months. He and fellow newcomers Dembele and Ramos form a dangerous attacking trio with an incredible amount of individual quality. Defensively, the team is still a bit of a work in progress, as evidenced by last weekend's 3-2 defeat to Nizza.

Dortmund off to a slow start
It has to be said that Dortmund's start to the season has not been good. A 2-0 lead at home to Heidenheim is not a lead you can give up. The game against Freiburg also seemed like the next break after conceding two goals in injury time. In the end, we ran out 4-2 winners and perhaps that will be the turning point for the rest of the season. Picking up points in Paris would be the next big step for the momentum.

My Paris St Germain vs. Borussia Dortmund prediction
Paris have scored over 3.5 goals in their last three league games, while Dortmund have scored over 2.5 in their last two. Both teams have a lot of individual quality in attack and a lot of gaffes in defence. You can play over 2.5 here, but I see a lot of value in the over-under. We must hope for a quick goal and then it should be a wild ride. Dortmund are particularly weak at full-back, which should benefit Dembele and Mbappe.

Bet: Over 3,5 Goals

The best odds are with bet365: 2,3
