Aston Villa vs. PSG, 3 p.m. ET
Pick: Ousmane Dembele (+165)
Ousmane Dembele didn`t score in the first leg, but the French player could find success on Tuesday as Aston Villa will need 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 victory against Liverpool in the Round of 16, and his speed could pose a challenge for an Aston Villa defense that might be stretched.
Borussia Dortmund vs. Barcelona, 3 p.m. ET
Pick: Robert Lewandowski (+100)
Robert Lewandowski scored twice in Barcelona`s 4-0 win in the first leg. The experienced striker is second in the Champions League this season with 11 goals in 11 games. He has now scored 105 career goals in this competition, ranking third behind only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Lewandowski has a history of success against Borussia Dortmund, with 29 goals in 28 matches.
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 offensive threat and has been effective in front of goal in the Champions League. In 13 matches in this competition, Guirassy has 10 goals and four assists. As Dortmund needs to score early and often, Guirassy will likely have opportunities to score.
