Lille vs Borussia Dortmund Preview and Team News
Lille Team News
Lille go into the home leg of the round-of-16 tie against Borussia Dortmund level on aggregate. They’ll utilise their home advantage as they bid to make it into the quarter-finals.
The squad ended their two-match winless run with a 1-0 home victory against Montpellier. After they lost 4-1 to PSG in Ligue 1, they responded with a second-half equaliser at the Signal Iduna Park to level the tie.
Although Bruno Génésio will be confident ahead of Wednesday’s clash, he’ll have to tinker with his lineup to address the injury issues. Sidelined players include right-back Tiago Santos (cruciate ligament), right winger Edon Zhegrova (adductor), and center-back Samuel Umtiti (calf).
Our match predictions show that Lille will be bullish of edging the tie given their home advantage and their strong showing away game in Germany last week.
Lille Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Chevalier; Ismaily, Alexsandro, Diakité, Meunier; Bouaddi, André; Haraldsson, Mukau, Mbappé; David.
Borussia Dortmund Team News
Borussia Dortmund’s indifferent form this season continued last weekend when they succumbed to a 0-1 home defeat against Augsburg. This was the third loss in their previous five outings, and their 10th defeat in 25 matches this season.
The result left them 10th on the table with 35 points, level with Augsburg, and 7 down from the top-four race.

The defeat is another flashing red light for Niko Kovač, following their inability to lead against Lille last Tuesday. Despite taking the lead through Karim Adeyemi, Dortmund could not hold on, conceding an Arnar Haraldsson leveler in the 68th minute. This means they go into the second leg level on aggregate.
Kovač has several injury issues to deal with ahead of the trip to Lille. Nmecha (ligament), Mané (muscle), Lotka (shoulder), Svensson ( knee ligament), and Chukwuemeka (muscular) are all sidelined.

Bet hereLille vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
- Pick: The Game Will End in A Draw
- Odds: 3.5 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Lille 1-1 Borussia Dortmund
Based on the first leg, these sides are evenly matched, and this is set to continue on Wednesday.
The two lethal strikers, Lille’s Jonathan David and Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy were kept quiet for the first leg. However, this may change as the two teams are likely to throw caution to the wind.
Free football predictions on 22Bet show that each squad will look for an outright win to progress, given they’re currently level on aggregate. This will add spice to the second leg, with both clubs looking to play on the front foot. A draw in regular time is a safe pick for the game.
Lille vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: A Team Will Qualify in Regular Time – No
- Odds: 3.54 (22Bet)
These clubs canceled each other out in the first leg. Given how closely contested the second is likely to be, another draw is possible.
Lille and Borussia Dortmund have shown balanced approaches to their defensive and attacking squads. While this might change, it’s unlikely to be a gung-ho approach by either side.
With a draw as the best football pick for the second leg, our expert soccer predictions indicate neither team progressing in regular time.
