Lille hosts Dortmund this Wednesday in a game that might be the most important of the season for both sides. The French unit plays efficient and exciting matches, which has not been the case for Borussia in the past few weeks.
Lille News
Lille beat Montpellier this weekend, 1-0. It was a good intro following a tie in Dortmund and only the second time in the past 13 matches that the Dogues kept their net intact.
Over the recent 10 games at home, Lille posted seven wins, two defeats and one tie. All but the latest contest, which was against Montpellier, ended with both teams netting. That’s the reason why we said that Lille’s matches are interesting.
Dortmund News
When it comes to Borussia, things are complicated. Niko Kovac took over the managerial duties lately, and we have to say he didn’t improve the Millionaires’ performances. The defense had shown some improvement, though that didn’t last long.
Meanwhile, the offensive part of the team collapsed with the unit from Germany failing to score in three of the past five appearances. Now, that could be a problem if they have to outscore Lille who likes to apply such tactics.
Lille vs. Dortmund Head to Head
The first game saw a tie, 1-1. Adeyemi and Haraldsson scored for their respective teams. Interestingly, their two games in 2002 also ended without winners, 0-0 in Dortmund and 1-1 in Lille. Those were Europa League matches.
Lille vs. Dortmund Betting Predictions
Lille is aggressive at home and they will be sharp and offensive-minded right from the first whistle. Borussia won’t have an option but to try to slow down the tempo, and we don’t believe they will succeed in that. That’s why our betting pick for this event is Over 2.5 goals.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 goals
