Borussia Dortmund v Lille

Borussia Dortmund vs Lille Preview

Borussia Dortmund picked up a second win on the trot in the German Bundesliga over the weekend with a solid 2-0 win away from home at St Pauli which followed on from a previous 6-0 humiliation inflicted upon Union Berlin at home, helping the hosts up into a mid-table position of 10th place and Nico Kovac's side will now be going in search of a third win on the bounce on Tuesday night.

Lille on the other hand endured a tough and ultimately highly disappointing 4-1 thrashing at the hands of the French Ligue 1 leaders, PSG, on the weekend which made it three defeats within their last five games in all competitions and making this upcoming trip to the SIGNAL IDUNA PARK on Tuesday night a potentially daunting one for the French side.

Borussia Dortmund have slipped to a couple of defeats in recent times overall as the hosts have been handed losses by the likes of Stuttgart and Bochum in the domestic Bundesliga but Nico Kovac's side have also collected five wins within their previous nine games as well.

Victories gained over Heidenheim, Union Berlin and St Pauli in the domestic top flight have also been boosted by previous wins in the Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk and Sporting Lisbon, giving the German hosts plenty of reasons to be confident about their chances of gaining a 1st leg lead at their SIGNAL IDUNA PARK on Tuesday night.

Lille may be fearing the worst as they prepare for this 1st leg tie in Germany on Tuesday night after being handed a heavy 4-1 thrashing by French compatriots and Ligue 1 leaders, PSG, over the weekend and the visitors hit the road again in midweek.

The French visitors have produced a mixed bag of results across all competitions in recent times as Bruno Génésio's side have registered four wins but have also slipped to five losses within their last nine games overall, which suggests this upcoming trip to the SIGNAL IDUNA PARK could be fraught with danger.

Three out of Lille's four wins have been achieved on home soil at their Decathlon Arena while three of the visitors' five defeats have been inflicted upon Lille on their travels with defeats at Strasbourg and PSG in the French Ligue 1, along with a 2-1 loss away at Premier League side Liverpool.

Having also lost three of their last four away games as well, Lille look to have their work cut out on Tuesday night.
