Lille vs Borussia Dortmund Tips & Preview - French side set for quarter-final berth
- Lille's unbeaten home streak boosts their odds against Dortmund.
- Dortmund struggle with consistency and defensive weaknesses.
- Both teams likely to score, but Lille likelier to progress.
Lille vs Borussia Dortmund
Lille host Borussia Dortmund in their UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg, with the tie still in the balance at 1-1.
Both teams have been far from impressive lately but the French club looked the better side in the first leg and also come into this clash with a solid home record. The hosts should earn a win or draw here and progress to the next stage.
Lille Form
Lille were the better side in the first leg, especially in the second half and deserved Hakon Haraldsson's equaliser. They remain unbeaten in seven of their last eight Champions League matches, claiming five wins in that run.
The French side return to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy where they are unbeaten in the Champions League this season. Bruno Genesio’s men have beaten holders Real Madrid this season and also claimed a 6-1 victory over Feyenoord in their previous home fixture in the competition.
Lille's overall form has also been solid, having gone unbeaten in four of the last five matches across all competitions, earning a 1-0 Ligue 1 victory over Montpellier last weekend. However, they have been vulnerable at the back and are without a clean sheet in three of the last four fixtures in that run.
Borussia Dortmund Form
Borussia Dortmund will be disappointed with the outcome of the first leg after failing to build on Karim Adeyemi's early effort. It was their only attempt on target in the clash and they were on the ropes for much of the second half.
Manager Niko Kovac has been unable to build any consistency since arriving at the club, with Borussia Dortmund winless in four of their last six matches across all competitions. They head to France off the back of a 1-0 home defeat to Augsburg in the Bundesliga last weekend.
One of the problems for Borussia Dortmund is their defensive frailty having failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last six Champions League matches. However, in Sehrou Guirassy they have the leading scorer in the competition with 10 goals.
Head to Head
Last week's 1-1 result was the third straight draw between Lille and Borussia Dortmund. Their first meeting came during the 2001-2002 Europa League, with both teams battling to a 1-1 scoreline in France before a 0-0 draw in Germany.
Verdict
Wednesday. They are unbeaten at home in the Champions League and with Dortmund struggling to find their best form at the moment, a win or draw is expected here, with the French side set to progress.
As seen in the first leg, both teams have quality in attack and should both find the net in this fixture.
