PSV - Dortmund matchup could also be evaluated as one of the close matchups. Because PSV aren't a weak team and can't be underestimated. Especially by Dortmund I mean. Dortmund have had a really good run in the Champions League so far. I must admit that. However they are still inconsistent in general when we add their performance in the Bundesliga into account as well.
If they can't make any progress until their Champions League first leg game I don't know what kind of a Dortmund we would watch on the pitch against PSV. But as long as they don't lose their focus on the Champions League they should still be able to stay one step ahead.

Yep. This match will probably end in a draw.
Dortmund has a squad and experience compared to PSV in the Champions League in recent years, but PSV is in a positive trend in the Eredivisie.
The condition and the team's readiness at the end will be the determining factor, especially the injuries that several Dortmund players are currently experiencing.
And Johan Bakayoko will be a tough test for Borussia Dortmund's defense.
In my opinion, Dortmund cannot compete if they continue to experience a decline in performance in the domestic league because that is also a reflection of what exists in different competitions and even though they escaped from the hellish group some time ago, that doesn't necessarily make them feel safe in the bigger rounds. So I hope they remain consistent in the Champions League by producing good results in the two legs.
I still believe Dortmund should made it even though they aren't performing well at their local league. I know the match will definitely be a tough one among the two teams but I believe Dortmund should still qualify.
