The German side, who finished as runners-up in last seasonās 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 Teamsšš
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, Lilleās 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 Madridš„š„
Borussia DortmundšØ: Kobel, Couto, Can, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini, Sabitzer, Gross, Adeyemi, Brandt, Gittens, Guirassy.
Lille š¦: Chevalier, Meunier , Diakite, Alexsandro, Gudmundsson, AndrĆ©, Bouaddi Haraldsson, Angel Gomes, Bakker, David.
Both Teams to Score ā Because Defending Is Optionalā½ļøāØ
Lille have scored in 11 straight matches and were the most clinical team in the UCL league phase, converting 22.7% of chances. Dortmundās defence isnāt impenetrable, even at home, and Jonathan David is just one goal away from becoming Lilleās top scorer in European history ā heāll be highly motivated.
ā”ļø Bet 1: Both Teams to Score - Yes @ 1.81 on MSport.
Over 2.5 Goals ā Embrace the ChaosāØšØ
Dortmundās last 6 home games in the Champions League have averaged over 3 goals per game, and Lilleās recent 4-1 defeat at PSG exposed just how open they can be against high-quality attacks. Expect both sides to attack, especially given Lilleās need for an away goal.
ā”ļø Bet 2: Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.82 odds on MSport.

With 10 goals already in the competition, Guirassy is Dortmundās primary threat and gets plenty of service at home. Lilleās backline wonāt be used to his physical presence and poacher instincts. Heās also fresh off scoring against St Pauli.
