With all eyes falling on the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, a Champions League quarter-final spot hangs in the balance when Lille and Borussia Dortmund meet on Wednesday evening.
Suffering a collapse in rural Germany last week as they were eventually forced to settle for a 1-1 stalemate on home soil, BVB could still be ruing their failure to pick up a crucial first-leg advantage.
Continuing to receive a string of plaudits this season from across the continent, Lille have enjoyed quite the European journey this season and Bruno Genesio’s side should be smelling the chance to collect another heavyweight scalp.
Ahead of what could be a dramatic evening of Champions League action, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Lille vs Borussia Dortmund Bet Builder Tips.
Another nail-biting affair
Coming from behind in rural Germany last week as they eventually left Dortmund with a 1-1 stalemate, Lille will feel that they have a golden chance to extend on their Champions League adventure here.
Securing back-to-back victories at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy for the first time in six weeks, Lille have also collected some heavyweight European scalps this season.
Landing a famous 1-0 victory against reigning champions Real Madrid on October 2nd, the Mastiffs have suffered just a sole Champions League defeat on home soil since November 2019.
However, shockingly crashing out of the Coupe de France last month at the hands of Ligue 2 outfit Dunkerque, Lille are seeking some recent defensive stability on home soil.
Despite signing off their Champions League group stage adventure with a sensational 6-1 romp against Feyenoord, Wednesday’s hosts have recorded just a single clean sheet from their last 10 straight matchups at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

David to steal all the headlines again
If Lille are to overcome last season’s Champions League finalists on Wednesday evening, then their attacking talisman will certainly have a leading role to play here.
While Jonathan David might have eventually stayed put with the Mastiffs following January’s transfer window, the Canadian international is attracting plenty of heavyweight European interest.
Bagging the winner against Montpellier while in Ligue 1 action last weekend, David has quickly gained a reputation as one of Europe’s hottest striking starlets.
Likewise, signing off Lille’s group stage campaign with consecutive strikes against Feyenoord and English giants Liverpool, the former Gent youngster finds his stock at a red-hot high.
Along with registering five strikes across all competitions since the end of January, David has also produced 30 direct goal contributions for club and country in his 39 appearances.

Dortmund take solace from their recent success on the road
Finding themselves at the heart of a real domestic crisis and only just clinging onto their spot in the top-half of the Bundesliga table, Borussia Dortmund have certainly put all of their eggs in the Champions League basket.
Despite missing out on the chance to claim a crucial first-leg advantage in rural Germany last week, Niko Kovac’s side will take some solace fro their recent success away from Signal Iduna Park.
Putting in what was arguably a season-best display away at Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon on February 11th as they stormed their way to an eye-catching 3-0 romp, BVB have won three of their previous four showdowns on the road.
Likewise, last season’s Champions league finalists have won four of their last five European showdowns on foreign soil and are more than capable to springing another upset here.
It should also be highlighted, Dortmund have notched at least a single goal in all of their previous 10 consecutive Champions League appearances on foreign soil – a run that stems all the way back to September 2023.
