Dortmund almost became German champions last year and only some sort of curse prevented them from beating Bayern. So Dortmund is a very strong team that can play on equal footing with the strongest groups, which is proved by the fact that from the group with PSG, Newcastle and Milan they went to 1/8 Champions League.

They should have won the match with PSV, but the referee awarded an extremely controversial penalty, which should not have been awarded, because the Dortmund player played into the ball, not into the feet of the PSV player and because of the referee's mistake Dortmund lost 3 points.

There is no doubt about Borussia Dortmund strength, and they surely can go into next round with their performance at home in second leg match even I am also feeling this penalty was not right, but now all ended with draw and good for the German giant to improve their performance in coming weeks for having good chance for the next round qualification PSV also done good, but they need more experience and quality performance for this level.

Overall both teams done good job in this game and having equal chances but still I have feeling Borussia Dortmund can do better, but they are having some problems in last few weeks which are not allowing them for having enough goals but still their chances are good for having good end in both leagues.

This is an unsatisfactory result for PSV, because they played at home and failed to win the match and it is clear that even though Borussia Dortmund could not win, they will play at home in their second meeting, which means they will be more favored because they will play in front of the fans. their own supporters.

In my opinion, the match was balanced, so this draw is a fair result for the two clubs playing, even though there was disappointment within the hosts. The opportunities they created in this match were not much different, only PSV had several advantages. Borussia Dortmund was able to steal a goal first in the first half, to be precise in the 24th minute and the score remained 0-1 until the end of the first half. In the second half PSV started to respond and in the end they got a penalty which was executed well by Luuk de Jong which made the score equal and it lasted until the final whistle sounded to signal the end of the match.

Borussia Dortmund are in better condition, but they cannot just underestimate PSV, because it has been proven that in this match they can provide resistance that can make the game even. There is nothing impossible for PSV to beat Borussia Dortmund at their own headquarters, as long as they can play very well. I gave bigger odds on Borussia Dortmund, but it's not too big either, I think 60% for Borussia Dortmund and 40% for PSV are fair odds.

I don't understand why PSV were favourites to win the game yesterday. Dortmund are playing against the strongest clubs in the Bundesliga and PSV just don't have the same competition as Dortmund. In the case of Lazio, PSV were lucky to score a penalty. That's the only thing that saved them from defeat. In the return game they will have no chance to get into the 1/4.
