Borussia Dortmund vs Lille Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

LOSC Lille have only won two of their 11 overall meetings with German sides in European competition.

Borussia Dortmund are all set to lock horns with LOSC Lille in the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 round of 16 first-leg fixture at home. Dortmund had to go through the playoffs phase to get to the last 16. They made it after defeating Sporting CP. Lille have had a decent run in UCL so far and finished in the seventh spot during the league phase of European competition.

For the first leg, Borussia Dortmund will be at home, which is going to keep them confident. They are also coming in after securing two back-to-back wins in their previous Bundesliga fixtures. They will be looking to keep their momentum going and take advantage in the first leg itself.

LOSC Lille will be slightly low on confidence as they are coming in after facing a defeat against PSG in their previous league fixture. Also, they will be away from home, which will put some pressure on them. They should not let Dortmund score, which will be for the best for Lille.

• Location: Dortmund, Germany
• Stadium: SIGNAL IDUNA PARK
• Date: Wednesday, March 5
• Kick-off Time: 01:30 IST / Tuesday, March 4: 20:00 GMT/ 15:00 ET/ 12:00 PT
