Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Borussia Dortmund
Match Time & Date:
04/03/2025
21:00
Prediction: 2-1
Lille
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Union Berlin (6-0) and St. Pauli (2-0), Borussia Dortmund will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Lille in the Champions League last 16, first leg. The Yellow-Blacks have been showing signs of improvement of late and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win Tuesday’s game. Serhou Guirassy will continue leading the line for the Bundesliga outfit despite failing to convert a penalty in a goalless draw with Sporting CP, while both Felix Nmecha and Julian Ryerson remain on the sidelines.
Les Dogues, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-1 loss to PSG’s and given Borussia Dortmund’s recent progress, we predict that David and Co. are going to return to France empty-handed. The likes of Edon Zhegrova, Samuel Umtiti, and Tiago Santos miss out with injuries for the Ligue 1 side.
