The first semifinal of the Champions League will be played on Tuesday, at 22:00, between RB Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain.
Leipzig
He managed to reach the semifinals after beating Atletico Madrid 2-1 in the previous round (the 2 goals of the Germans were scored by Dani Olmo and Tyler Adams).
It had a pretty solid evolution and I think the victory was deserved.
Following this success he reached 3 consecutive victories in the Champions League.
Moreover, he finished undefeated the previous 7 games in the Champions League (5 wins and 2 draws; he scored at least 1 goal in each of these last 7 matches).
PSG
He qualified dramatically in the semifinals; in the quarterfinal match with Atalanta, she was led from the 27th minute, but she managed to return the score in the last minutes of the game and to win 1-2.
Although he did not score, Mbappe was the decisive player in the Parisian camp.
He has scored at least 1 goal in each of the last 9 Champions League games he has played this season.
Thomas Tuchel can again rely on the services of Angel Di Maria; the Argentine returns after the suspension and has great chances to start from the first minute.
Injured in the match with Atalanta, Keylor Navas is uncertain for this game.

Football Prediction of the Day Leipzig vs PSG
Both teams were very good in the offensive chapter in this edition of the Champions League.
That’s why I expect Tuesday’s match to bring goals scored from both sides.
Determinant in the match with Atalanta, Mbappe has great chances to start the first minute of Tuesday’s semifinal.
Di Maria also returns.
Thus, with Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria in the offensive compartment, I believe that Leipzig will not escape without a goal.
On the other hand, the team prepared by Julian Nagelsmann managed to break through Simeone’s defensive block twice and that is why I think he has the power to score at least once in the PSG goal, especially since there are important chances for Navas to do not defend.
Bet Tips: Both teams score: YES
Odds: 1.61
