It was a bad match for Lille against PSG last weekend. They are going into the Champions League match with a negative situation, but their opponent Borussia Dortmund is far from their old days in the Bundesliga. If it was last year's Borussia Dortmund, I would say they would easily pass this round, but the current situation is far from certain. We all saw that Atalanta was the favorite but was eliminated by losing in both matches. So it would be very wrong to talk about a match with certainty. Both teams are very strong and both teams will have a good fight.
Borrusia Dortmund will need to take this match more serious if they want to get an opportunity for the next round of the competition after coming this far in the competition despite their poor form in the Bundesliga competition this season. They should not underestimate Lille because they’ve really been in great form to have come this far in the competition. The champions league competition requires more quality play and any team that cannot give that will easily be eliminated from the competition. Borrusia Dortmund shouldn’t see this matchup as an easy one for them to qualify for the quarterfinals, they need put their best effort in this match to prevail, so I’m expecting a tough match in this encounter regardless of who wins.
Dortmund had to be satisfied with a draw in this match, even though they were playing at home but they had difficulty beating lille. Dortmund should Focus more on the champions league than the bundesliga because in the champions league they have the opportunity to achieve their dream target while in the bundesliga they have been eliminated from the title race.
But unfortunately in terms of appearance in this first leg, dortmund performance did not go well because the quality of their game was not good at all. Lille even dominated the game by launching many shots and even some of the chances were quite accurate that they did. A draw is still a chance for dortmund to improve the quality of their game in the second leg later.
