Already qualified Borussia Dortmund welcome French heavyweights PSG to their backyard with the latter looking to take three points and seal their spot in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
Borussia Dortmund became the first side to earn a Round of 16 spot from Group F of the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League as they thrashed AC Milan in their previous European outing.
Despite going through, the 2022/23 Bundesliga runners-up would be vying to finish the group stage segment on a high and also take revenge of the defeat they faced in France on Matchday 1.
PSG rattled Dortmund's hopes of securing a win in the reverse fixture to open their group stage with three points as a Kylian Mbappe penalty and Achraf Hakimi strike deflated their German rivals.
Since then, Luis Enrique's have managed just a single win against AC Milan taking their points tally to seven points. Despite the hiccups the Parisian powerhouses have fate in the palms of their own hands because a win in Germany would see them go through while any other result could cut short their UCL campaign.
