Borussia Dortmund against Paris Saint Germain: Watzke imagines opportunities
The favorite role is clearly with PSG around Neymar and Co .. But with black and yellow, there are definitely opportunities. "If we get two good days, we have a chance to knock Paris out," said BVB boss Joachim Watzke before the game in an interview with Spox and Dazn . And that is precisely because Paris is in the favorites role: According to Watzke, the French are under pressure. The club and the investors from Qatar "want to achieve more than the round of 16".
In terms of numbers, Paris is actually better off than BVB : Paris is once again by far the league leaders in Ligue 1. Ten points separate the team from Marseille, which is in second place, and again a point cushion of eleven points on the Rennes in third place.

Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain: offensive top - defensive so-so
It is much closer in the Bundesliga. FC Bayern took over Leipzig's lead again after defeating Cologne. Behind them is Borussia Dortmund in third place, currently four points behind Munich.
If you want to survive against Paris , you should seek your salvation on the offensive. BVB is well positioned there, also since Jadon Sancho meets again - but he should be about to say goodbye, the French themselves are well positioned with their extravagant storm. But there is always a deficit on the defensive. This was also shown by the last league game: Last weekend, Tuchel's team caught four goals against Amiens. The Parisians were saved once again by their offensive, which at least brought a draw with their own four goals.
Accordingly, we can look forward to a real offensive fireworks display on Tuesday, in which the Dortmunders have a good chance of getting a good starting position for the second leg, especially in front of their home crowd. By the way: Paris and Dortmund have only met twice so far: in the Europa League group stage in 2010, both games ended in a tie.
