The Champions League match between Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain will take place at Signal Iduna Park on Thursday at 1:30 am IST.
In the thrilling Group F finale on Wednesday, Borussia Dortmund, already secured in qualification, hosts Paris Saint-Germain, who are still battling for a spot in the Champions League last-16 draw. Dortmund needs just a point to secure first place in the group, while Paris Saint-Germain, led by Luis Enrique, must secure victory to keep their qualification hopes alive at the Westfalenstadion.
Borussia Dortmund, initially facing a daunting 2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in this season’s Champions League ‘group of death,’ rebounded impressively with three consecutive victories. Their recent triumph at the San Siro against AC Milan secured their place in the knockout rounds. Currently boasting 10 points in the group, Dortmund’s first-place standing is at risk if they lose to PSG, who trail by three points. Despite their December struggles in domestic competitions, Dortmund’s formidable home record in the Champions League, with four consecutive clean sheets, makes them favorites to secure top spot in the group.
In a fortunate turn for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), a controversial last-minute penalty rescued them from defeat against Newcastle at the Parc des Princes. Alexander Isak’s first-half goal had put Newcastle ahead, but a late handball decision against Tino Livramento allowed Kylian Mbappe to equalize. PSG aims to secure a last-16 berth and first-place finish with a win against Borussia Dortmund. A draw could leave them vulnerable if Newcastle wins. Despite recent struggles away from home in the Champions League, PSG’s domestic form is strong, with eight consecutive Ligue 1 wins, and they have a positive record against Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund probable starting lineup: Kobel, Sule, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini, Sabitzer, Ozcan, Reus, Brandt, Bynoe-Gittens, Fullkrug
