For the team playing as the host, a draw can feel like a defeat, and that is what Borussia Dortmund is currently feeling in their match in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Lille. However, in terms of the game, this draw is a fair result for both teams, because they played almost the same, and even 1 goal from each team was a goal created from 1 of their open opportunities. In the second leg later, it will be a challenge in itself, because Borussia Dortmund will play as the away team and that will be a heavy pressure.

Dortmund was very disadvantaged in the match because they should have been able to win the match to get a much greater chance of qualifying for the next round and playing in the second leg would have been much easier when Dortmund won the match in the first leg. The opportunities that Dortmund have are not too big because it could be that in the second leg they will lose to Lille so Dortmund must really prepare themselves when visiting Lille's headquarters.

Appearing as the host, of course Borussia Dortmund is quite favored to be able to create an advantage in the first leg, before later in the second leg Borussia Dortmund will visit the headquarters of LOSC Lille.

But appearing as the host did not make the team coached by N. Kovac to perform better, in the match they were only able to create a few opportunities so they were only able to score one goal, and even that goal was replied to in the second half, so the match ended in a draw. So to be able to qualify for the next round, the team coached by N. Kovac must fight even harder.

Seems as if there will be a fight between two German teams today but the thing is, it's not a domestic competition. Since the arrival of Xabi Alonso as head coach of Bayern Leverkusen, Bayern Munich has found or had it difficult to beat Leverkusen. Today is another test for Vincent Kompany and his men to try and see how they could get past Xabi Alonso and his men and book a place in the Champions League Quarter finals after two legged tie.

Bayern Munich are slightly favored to win this match, especially in the first leg, Vincent Kompany's team will appear as the host. But on the other hand, of course we can't underestimate Bayern Leverkusen, because under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, Bayern Leverkusen has performed quite consistently and has always been the toughest opponent for Bayern Munich lately.
