Lille will take on Borussia Dortmund in the midweek at Decathlon Arena for the return leg of their Champions League round of 16 clash after their first leg encounter ended in a 1-1 draw. The ligue 1 side secured a narrow win in their recent league match against Montpellier, and are optimistic they will outscore or contain Niko Kovac’s side on Wednesday night.

Borussia Dortmund’s performance in their previous UCL tie against Lille was completely disappointing, as many expected them to win the match but instead it ended in a 1-1 draw despite scoring an early goal. However, Dortmund will face Lille on Tuesday night in the return leg after a 1-0 loss to Augsburg last weekend in their domestic league.

Lille were held to a 1-1 draw in their recent match against Borussia Dortmund after a back-to-back draw in the 2002/2003 Europa League clash.

Both teams scored in their last meeting in Germany and provided over 1.5 goals.

Both teams recorded just one defeat each in their last five matches.

Lille had 0.88 expected goals in their previous encounter, while Dortmund averaged 0.27 xG.

It will be a tricky game, but we predict Lille will win or draw the match against Borussia Dortmund after an outstanding performance in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 clash in Germany. Dortmund have been inconsistent this season, as they sit at the 10th position in the Bundesliga Standing with thirty-five points from twenty-five appearances. Therefore, a win for the German club will be tough in this fixture.
