Borussia Dortmund vs Lille – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund host Lille in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie this evening.

Dortmund have endured a tough campaign domestically but have performed better in Europe. The German side eased past Sporting Lisbon in the play-off round, winning 3-0 in Portugal before a goalless second leg at the Westfalenstadion.

Key to their European campaign has been Serhou Guirassy. The summer signing is the leading scorer in the Champions League this season with 10 goals. Guirassy also heads into the contest in red-hot domestic form having netted five goals in his last two Bundesliga appearances.

Though fifth in France, Lille qualified automatically for the Round of 16 after a top-eight finish in the league phase. The French side exceeded all expectations, securing impressive wins over Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid already this season.
