PSG vs Dortmund: Head-to-Heads are an indicator
Europe, Champions League, Tuesday, 7th May, 20:00 (UK)
There were chances at both ends in the first leg but it is Borussia Dortmund who have a slender advantage coming into this one. Luis Enrique’s side are the strong favourites here and are expected to pile on the pressure. PSG have only been to the Champions League final once before and have never progressed from a two-legged semi-final in this competition.
Many felt that Dortmund needed a lead to defend ahead of the trip to Paris. They have failed to win either of their two away matches in the knockout stages of this season’s competition. Dortmund drew 1-1 in Eindhoven and lost 2-1 when they faced Atletico Madrid on Spanish soil.
PSG’s Champions League matches this season have seen an average of 37.64 throws per game. This second leg promises to be frantic with both teams capable of doing damage in attack. These sides have already squared off three times this season, this bet has won in all three of those meetings. The group stage encounter at the Parc des Princes saw 41 throws.

Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich: First Leg Trend to Continue
Europe, Champions League, Wednesday, 8th May, 20:00 (UK)
Carlo Ancelotti will be the happier of the two managers coming into this match. An 83rd-minute converted penalty from Vinicus Jr. was enough to ensure that Real entered the second leg on level terms. The first leg at the Allianz Arena was an evenly contested affair but Los Blancos will be hoping to make home advantage count here.
Real Madrid are the favourites to lift the trophy coming into this game. The Santiago Bernabeu is synonymous with big European nights and the stage is set for another on Wednesday. Ancelotti’s side were crowned Spanish champions at the weekend but the Champions League is king in Madrid.
Los Blancos’ Champions League matches have seen the second-fewest throws with an average of 26.64 per game. We are backing unders once again, an angle we had success with in the first leg. There have been 32 throws or less in all five of Real’s home matches in this competition in this campaign.
Expect a cagey start with neither side wanting to give an inch. Both are capable of keeping the ball for long periods. The first leg saw just 21 throws as a result. While I expect more here, the line set by the bookmaker looks a little high.

Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich: Bernabeu Baying for Blood
Europe, Champions League, Wednesday, 8th May, 20:00 (UK)
It’s been a tough season for Bayern Munich. Their stranglehold on the Bundesliga has gone. Thomas Tuchel’s side were unable to keep pace with a rampant Bayer Leverkusen and the former Chelsea job has paid with his job. He will be hoping to lift his second Champions League trophy before he departs the club in the summer.
The acquisition is Harry Kane was supposed to take Bayern up a gear. The England captain has been in fine scoring form but there are several areas of the pitch in which Bayern need to improve. Kane will be hoping he can make his mark on this game.
Bayern will be expecting a tough game here. They conceded 24 shots away at Stuttgart at the weekend. The focus was on this game but Real Madrid could rack up the attempts as they look to make home advantage.
Real Madrid are averaging 18.25 shots per game at the Santiago Bernabeu across their 24 matches in all competitions. This increases to 19 per game across their five home matches in this competition.
