Exciting UEFA Champions League action is coming on Wednesday with two games featuring teams known for their attacking prowess. Borussia Dortmund will face Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain will play against Aston Villa, both matches kicking off at 3 p.m. ET.
In the Barcelona vs. Dortmund match, Dortmund will be missing defender Nico Schlotterbeck, which might put more pressure on their offense against a Barcelona team that has scored a lot of goals in their league games. Players like Robert Lewandowski are expected to be key figures in this match, offering interesting opportunities in the goalscorer betting market.
For instance, betting on Lewandowski to be the first goalscorer in the Barcelona vs. Dortmund game has odds of +300 at BetMGM Sportsbook (risk $100 to win $300).
PSG vs. Aston Villa, 3 p.m. ET
Pick: Ousmane Dembele (+120)
Ousmane Dembele is likely to be fresh for this game after being a substitute in PSG`s recent league victory. He has been a standout performer for PSG this season, leading Ligue 1 in goals and also scoring in the Champions League. His speed and skill could cause problems for Aston Villa, who are expected to have less possession in the match. FanDuel Sportsbook offers Dembele to score at +120.
Barcelona vs. Dortmund, 3 p.m. ET
Pick: Raphina (+140)
Raphina scored in Barcelona`s previous league game against Borussia Dortmund and is predicted to score again. He has a good scoring record in the Champions League this season, making the odds of +140 at DraftKings Sportsbook attractive.
Borussia Dortmund vs. Barcelona
Pick: Serhou Guirassy (+250)
Serhou Guirassy scored twice in a previous game against Barcelona. He is Dortmund`s main attacking player and has been effective in the Champions League. Despite Dortmund potentially having fewer scoring chances against Barcelona, Guirassy has proven to be clinical and can score even with limited opportunities.
