Paris Saint-Germain hope to get back on track offensively when they host Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal tie. PSG converted in each of their first 10 games in the competition but were shut down last Wednesday when they dropped a 1-0 decision at Dortmund in the first leg. It was the fifth overall clean sheet posted by Borussia Dortmund in the UCL and second in the knockout phase. The Parisians recorded a 2-0 home victory against Dortmund in the group-stage opener for both clubs.
Kickoff at Parc des Princes is set for 3 p.m. ET. The Parisians are -210 favorites (risk $210 to win $100) in the latest PSG vs. Borussia Dortmund odds, while Dortmund are +490 underdogs.

Why you should back PSG
Last week's loss marked just the second time in seven months the Parisians were held without a goal across all competitions, with the only other occurrence in that span being a 0-0 draw against AS Monaco in France's Ligue 1 on March 1. PSG will be looking for Kylian Mbappe to provide offense on Tuesday, as the forward is tied for the lead in the Champions League with eight goals. The 25-year-old, who also is first in his domestic league with 26 goals, registered a brace in two of his three UCL appearances prior to the first-leg loss to Dortmund.
The Parisians hope winger Ousmane Dembele and Portuguese midfielder Vitinha can help take some of the pressure to score off Mbappe's shoulders. Both players converted in each leg of PSG's quarterfinal tie before last week's meeting with Dortmund. Dembele followed those contests against Barcelona by recording a brace in a 4-1 domestic league triumph over Lorient. The Parisians met Dortmund twice in the group stage of the UCL, with Mbappe and defender Achraf Hakimi scoring in a 2-0 victory while midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery tallied in the 1-1 draw between the clubs.

Why you should back Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund have been led offensively in the Champions League by forward Niclas Fullkrug. The 31-year-old, who has scored 12 goals in the German Bundesliga this season to share the team lead with Dutch forward Donyell Malen, tops the club with three goals in the UCL after converting in each of his last two outings - including the first leg against PSG. The 25-year-old Malen also scored in Dortmund's 5-1 triumph over FC Augsburg on Saturday in domestic league play.
Fullkrug and Malen (one) are among 11 players who have converted for Dortmund in the Champions League. Wingers Julian Brandt, Karim Adeyemi and Marco Reus have netted two goals apiece, with Adeyemi scoring the team's lone goal in its two group-stage meetings with PSG. Austrian midfielder Marcel Sabitzer has recorded only three assists in 24 Bundesliga contests this season but leads all players in this competition with five. See which team to pick here.
