Champions League Last 16 Preview: Borussia Dortmund vs Lille

Champions League Last 16 Preview: Borussia Dortmund vs Lille
As the race for a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals heats up, Borussia Dortmund will host Lille at the Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday night for the first leg of their Round of 16 clash.

The German side, who finished as runners-up in last season’s competition, had to go through the playoff round, where they comfortably defeated Sporting Lisbon to book their place in the knockout stages. Their reward? A meeting with Lille, who quietly sneaked into the top eight of the new league-phase table after a strong run in the group games.

Our Analysis: Form of Both Teams📈📉

Image
Borussia Dortmund’s form this season has been up and down, but Niko Kovac is gradually bringing some consistency to the team. After comfortably beating Sporting Lisbon in the playoff, Dortmund followed up with two consecutive Bundesliga wins, including a 6-0 thrashing of Union Berlin.

However, their home form has been far from convincing, with just two wins in their last nine matches at the Signal Iduna Park.

On the other hand, Lille have enjoyed an impressive European campaign, eliminating both Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, while also hammering Feyenoord 6-1 in the group phase. Despite their attacking success, Lille’s defence was exposed badly in a 4-1 defeat to PSG in Ligue 1 over the weekend, which could be a concern heading into this clash. 

Probable Lineups for Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid👥👥

Image

Borussia Dortmund🟨: Kobel, Couto, Can, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini, Sabitzer, Gross, Adeyemi, Brandt, Gittens, Guirassy.

Lille 🟦: Chevalier, Meunier , Diakite, Alexsandro, Gudmundsson, André, Bouaddi Haraldsson, Angel Gomes, Bakker, David. 

Both Teams to Score — Because Defending Is Optional⚽️✨

Image

Lille have scored in 11 straight matches and were the most clinical team in the UCL league phase, converting 22.7% of chances. Dortmund’s defence isn’t impenetrable, even at home, and Jonathan David is just one goal away from becoming Lille’s top scorer in European history — he’ll be highly motivated.

➡️ Bet 1: Both Teams to Score - Yes @ 1.81 on MSport.

Over 2.5 Goals — Embrace the Chaos✨🟨

Image

Dortmund’s last 6 home games in the Champions League have averaged over 3 goals per game, and Lille’s recent 4-1 defeat at PSG exposed just how open they can be against high-quality attacks. Expect both sides to attack, especially given Lille’s need for an away goal.

➡️ Bet 2: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.82 odds on MSport.

Serhou Guirassy — The Goal Machine You’re Not Watching⚽️🏹

With 10 goals already in the competition, Guirassy is Dortmund’s primary threat and gets plenty of service at home. Lille’s backline won’t be used to his physical presence and poacher instincts. He’s also fresh off scoring against St Pauli.

➡️ Bet 3: Guirassy to Score Anytime @ 2.15 on MSport.
