Aston Villa vs. PSG, 3 p.m. ET
Pick: Ousmane Dembele (+165)
Ousmane Dembele didn`t score in the first leg, but he could be effective on Tuesday as Aston Villa needs to attack to overcome a 3-1 deficit. Dembele has contributed to 42 goals in 41 games in the 2024-25 season and has scored seven goals in 11 Champions League appearances. Dembele scored in PSG`s 1-0 win against Liverpool in the Round of 16. His speed could be a challenge for Aston Villa, who might be stretched defensively. FanDuel Sportsbook offers the best odds for this pick at +165.
Borussia Dortmund vs. Barcelona, 3 p.m. ET
Pick: Robert Lewandowski (+100)
Robert Lewandowski scored twice in Barcelona`s 4-0 victory in the first leg. The experienced striker is second in the Champions League with 11 goals in 11 games this season. He has now scored 105 career goals in the competition, placing him third behind only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Lewandowski has a history of success against Borussia Dortmund, with 29 goals in 28 matches. Caesars Sportsbook offers odds of +100 for this prop.
Borussia Dortmund vs. Barcelona
Pick: Serhou Guirassy (+180)
Serhou Guirassy scored two goals in Dortmund`s 3-2 home defeat against Barcelona in the league stage. Guirassy is Borussia Dortmund`s primary attacking player and has been effective in scoring during UCL games. In 13 Champions League matches, Guirassy has 10 goals and four assists. As Dortmund needs to score early and often, Guirassy will have opportunities to score.
