Lille vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting Tips (12 March)

Lille last week, Lille, rather well negotiated the first game of this double confrontation against Borussia Dortmund by going to get a good draw at the Iduna Park signal. After a delicate meeting start symbolized by the opening of Adeyemi's splendid score, the DOGUES gradually returned to the game and managed to equalize in the second period. Dogues may even have regrets not to have been able to press the defensive gaps of the BVB but they still find themselves in favorable ballotation before this return which is disputed at Decathlon Arena. During the league phase, the French had created surprise by taking 6th final place in the ranking thanks in particular to prestige successes obtained against Real Madrid 1-0 and Atlético Madrid 1-3. At the same time, in Ligue 1, Bruno Genesio's men are in the running to try to finish on the podium. If they were widely dominated by PSG 4-1 , the Northerners will try to resume their march in front next weekend against the Red Lantern, Montpellier. The Borussia Dortmund, for its part, had ideally launched its first leg by quickly opening the score through Adeyemi.

But he gradually lost the thread of the meeting, going so far as to concede the equalization and left a lot of opportunities in the LOSC to take the advantage. Finally happy to be able to keep the draw, the players of Niko Kovac will undoubtedly have to raise their level to hope to pass the Lille obstacle in this double confrontation and join the quarter -finals. The finalist of the last edition of this Champions League had to go through dams to join these 1/8th finals where they released Sporting thanks to their broad success obtained at the outburding 0-3 before the draw 0-0. In the league, the BVB is however quite far from the account. 10th in the ranking before challenging Augsburg next weekend, the boarders of the Iduna Park signal had still aligned 2 successes against the Berlin Union 6-0 and Sankt Pauli 0-2 to return to the race for Europe.

Like last week, the Bentaleb environment will not be there. Barely returned from a long absence for heart concerns, the community was not registered by his club to participate in this Champions League. In addition, the long -standing injured like Tiago Santos, defender Umtiti and holder Zhegrova (8 goals all competitions) are on the side. It could be the same for the young Ethan Mbappé who came out injured to go after a somewhat complicated amtch. On the other hand, Sahraoui is in the recovery phase and he could return for this return match. In advance, we should again find Jonathan David. Scorer 6 times during the league phase, the Canadian turned into a passer on the equalization of Haraldsson last week. Last Tuesday, the fields of land Benjamin André and especially Bouaddi impressed in the heart of the game.

 Opposite, the BVB should still be deprived of the excellent Felix Nmecha midfielder who has been absent for more than a month. The young Chukwuemeka, hit in a thigh, also risks having to declare as well as the left side Svensson which was the victim of a large sole of André Gomes last week. Otherwise, everyone should be operational for this Dortmund side match. Author of 10 goals in this Champions League, former Rennais Guirassy, ​​however, missed out on his subject during the first leg unlike Adeyemi who scored a magnificent volley to open the score and score his 5th goal of the season in C1. Overall, the former Salzburg was also the most dangerous player of this team. The English winger Gittens (4 goals in C1) was also rather disappointing.
