BORUSSIA DORTMUND
- Borussia Dortmund continued their good form with a 2-1 win at Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday, their fifth straight victory.
- Long-term absentees Delaney and Reus remain sidelined but otherwise coach Favre has a full squad at his disposal for the trip to Paris.
- Winger Sancho should start having only been fit enough for the bench on Saturday because of illness, but no other changes are expected.
Predicted line-up (3-4-3): Burki; Piszczek, Hummels, Zagadou; Hakimi, Witsel, Can, Raphael Guerreiro; Sancho, Haaland, Hazard
Unavailable: Delaney (Injured), Reus (Injured)
Doubtful: Haaland (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
PSG have been formidable on home soil this season but they have only registered two clean sheets in their last seven games in the capital. They need to win here but that will leave them vulnerable to Dortmund's deadly and in-form attack, so expect goals at both ends. The first leg of these ties are usually cagey but the match in Dortmund was wide open, and expect this to follow suit.
