The UEFA Champions League returns this week as the quarter-final second legs take place across the continent. 

Tuesday's action takes place in Spain and Germany, as Borussia Dortmund host Atletico Madrid and Barcelona welcome Paris Saint-Germain. Both ties are nicely poised with one goal deficits separating the two teams as each side look to secure a place in the final four. 

Read below for our inspection of the over/under betting lines as we advise on the best bets to place ahead of kick-off on Tuesday evening. 

Borussia Dortmund vs Atletico Madrid 

Atletico secured a 2-1 home victory in the home leg but a late strike from Sebastian Haller gave Dortmund hope as they prepare to meet at Signal Iduna Park. The German side are yet to lose a European fixture on home soil this term, winning all four while keeping a clean sheet in three of their home matches. 

The Spanish outfit, meanwhile, have struggled on the road so far and have won just one away game in the Champions League. Despite averaging three goals in home games, Diego Simeone's side have scored an average of just 1.5 on the road in Europe.

Dortmund have also scored just 1.25 goals while conceding 0.25 in home fixtures, and so it should be no surprise that Signal Iduna Park has seen an average of just 1.5 goals scored so far in the competition. Especially given Atletico's precarious lead, OddsNow anticipate another low-scoring affair as both look to progress to the semi-finals. 

Each side have also seen their fair share of corner action so far in the tournament; Dortmund's nine matches have seen an average of 12.67 corners overall, compared to Atletico's 11.55. More set-piece action can be expected on Tuesday evening. 

OddsNow's Picks: Under 2.5 goals scored (5/4 @ Betway); Over 10.5 corners (6/5 @ Betfair)

Barcelona vs Paris Saint-Germain

The Catalan giants moved a step closer to their first Champions League semi-finals in five years with a 3-2 victory in Paris last week. Two goals from Raphinha and a close-range header from Andreas Christensen cancelled out strikes from Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha to give the Spanish outfit the advantage heading into the second leg. 

The home side will be pushing for more goals to secure their place in the next round, while PSG know they will need to assert their authority if they are to turn the tie around at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. 50% of Barcelona's European fixtures at the venue have seen over ten corners, compared to 64% of PSG's games on the road, suggesting more set-piece action lies in wait ahead of a potential spot in the final four.  

OddsNow's Pick: Over 10.5+ corners (11/10 @ SportingIndex)
