The UCL last-16 tie between Lille and Borussia Dortmund remains finely poised after a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Germany. Dortmund seemed to have gained the initiative, but Hakon Arnar Haraldsson grabbed an equaliser for the French side with their only shot on target.
Lille have warmed up for the second leg on home soil with a 1-0 home win in Ligue 1 over Montpellier. Canadian forward, Jonathan David, was once again Lille’s talisman.
They couldn’t have asked for an easier game to prepare for Wednesday night, dominating possession with 77% against Ligue 1’s bottom club. The win moved Lille to within five points of second-placed Marseille.
The winners of this tie will be up against either Barcelona or Benfica in the last eight. Barcelona host Benfica in the second leg of that tie on Tuesday after winning the away leg 1-0. Lille finished seventh in the league phase, a point and three places above their opponents. The away leg ended level with the Northmen needing to come from behind to get the draw after conceding in the first half.
Lille possible starting lineup: Chevalier; Meunier, Diakite, Ribeiro, Ismaily; Bouaddi, Andre, Mukau; Mbappe, David, Haraldsson
Borussia Dortmund possible starting lineup: Kobel; Ryerson, Can, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Sabitzer, Gross; Adeyemi, Brandt, Bynoe-Gittens; Guirassy
Edon Zhegrova has missed a considerable part of Lille's campaign through injury, and the winger's set to miss out again on Wednesday. While he is an integral part of Bruno Genesio's side, the French outfit have been able to cope without him in this competition.
Samuel Umtiti and Tiago Santos are also absent, while Osame Sahraoui is a doubt. Mitchel Bakker is a fresh absentee for the hosts after he suffered an Achilles injury at the weekend.
Lille's strong home record will give them confidence, even against Stuttgart's Serhou Guirassy, who has ten goals in eleven competition appearances. Dortmund's inconsistency remains their key weakness; their defensive frailty is a near certainty.
