PREDICTION

Both teams in this semi-final first leg have displayed vulnerabilities in defence, yet their offensive prowess promises a spectacle. With an array of attacking talent on both sides, Borussia Dortmund and PSG could engage in a high-scoring encounter. Dortmund are likely to adopt an attacking approach at home, aiming to seize the initiative. However, they must be wary of PSG's lethal counter-attacking duo of Mbappe and Dembele. In their previous group stage encounter, the teams settled for a 1-1 draw, and both legs of their respective quarter-finals saw both teams finding the net. Regardless of the aggregate advantage, backing both teams to score and over 2.5 goals seems wise.
