The first leg between the two sides ended in a 1-1 draw.

LOSC Lille are all set to host Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 round of 16. BVB were at home for the first leg and took control by scoring a goal first. Later Lille went on to score an equaliser in the second half, which levelled the scoreline. None of the teams will have the upper hand going into the second leg.

LOSC Lille will be at home for the second leg. They had a decent performance in the first leg, but they defended more than they attacked. Lille were not at their usual play set but still managed to secure a draw. They will be at home, which will be one of the advantages for them coming into the second leg.

Borussia Dortmund had some difficulties in attacking as well as controlling the ball. Although they did not let Lille take much control, BVB will surely be looking to come up with a different set of play here. One of these teams will go on to secure the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals spot.
