UEFA Champions League continues on Wednesday with exciting matches featuring teams known for their attacking prowess. Borussia Dortmund faces a challenge as defender Nico Schlotterbeck is unavailable. They will need their offense to perform against Barcelona, who have scored impressively in their league games with 83 goals in 30 matches. In Paris, Saint-Germain aims to replicate their domestic form in the Champions League but will have to overcome a strong Aston Villa attack. The matches, Barcelona vs. Dortmund and PSG vs. Aston Villa, are scheduled for 3 p.m. ET.
Expect goals from renowned players like Robert Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembele, presenting opportunities in the goal-scorer props market. For instance, Lewandowski`s odds to be the first goal-scorer in the Barcelona vs. Dortmund game are +300 at BetMGM Sportsbook (risk $100 to win $300).

Remember, you can watch every UEFA Champions League game on Paramount+.
PSG vs. Aston Villa, 3 p.m. ET
Pick: Ousmane Dembele (+120)
Ousmane Dembele is expected to be fresh, having come off the bench in PSG`s recent league victory against Angers. Dembele has been a key player for PSG throughout the season, leading Ligue 1 with 21 goals in 26 appearances. His Champions League performance is also notable, with seven goals in 10 matches. Dembele scored PSG`s only goal in their Round of 16 match against Liverpool. His speed could pose a problem for Aston Villa, who are likely to have less possession in this game. FanDuel Sportsbook offers the best odds for this pick at +120.
Barcelona vs. Dortmund, 3 p.m. ET
Pick: Raphina (+140)
Raphina scored in Barcelona`s 3-2 league win against Borussia Dortmund, and there`s a good chance he`ll score again on Wednesday. He also scored twice in Barcelona`s home game against Benfica in the Round of 16. He has a total of 11 goals in 10 Champions League games this season, making the +140 odds attractive. DraftKings Sportsbook is offering this prop at +140.
Pick: Serhou Guirassy (+250)
Serhou Guirassy scored twice in the previous league match against Barcelona. Guirassy is Borussia Dortmund`s main attacking threat and has been effective in front of goal in the Champions League. In 12 games in this competition, Guirassy has scored 10 goals and provided four assists. While Dortmund might not have many scoring opportunities against Barcelona, Guirassy has demonstrated his ability to score even with limited chances.
