Borussia Dortmund Preview: Improved Dortmund
Last season, Borussia Dortmund underperformed in the Bundesliga but managed to reach the final of the UEFA Champions League. Once again, they are underperforming in the Bundesliga but now have a brilliant opportunity to reach the last eight in Europe’s elite club competition.
Nuri Sahin has been replaced by Niko Kovac and they have been much-improved ever since with their 2-0 defeat of a competitive St Pauli side in Hamburg at the weekend meaning they have now enjoyed four victories in their last five matches across all competitions.
Lille Preview: Difficult to beat Lille
Coached by former Olympique Lyonnais boss Bruno Genesio, Lille have, much like they were under Paulo Fonseca last season, made themselves very difficult to beat as they chase another top four finish in Ligue 1.
They have been a little wobbly since a defeat to Liverpool in January ended their 21-match unbeaten run of form but the French northerners remain obdurate opposition. They most recently, though, were annihilated by Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes this weekend.

Borussia Dortmund vs Lille Prediction
Borussia Dortmund’s four victories in those five matches across all competitions have also involved four clean sheets with Niko Kovac able to earn Borussia Dortmund some control as they face Lille this weekend. The visitors most recently allowed themselves to be completely undone by PSG and there will be a concern that that could be a thing of things to come as that isn’t necessarily a one off in terms of their recent performance level and, with extra control as well as their home advantage, siding with Dortmund looks the way to go for this one, especially at the Westfalenstadion.
