Match Facts

  • Borussia Dortmund and Lille will meet for just the third time in European competition, following a pair of draws in the last 16 of the UEFA Cup in 2001-02 (1-1 on aggregate, with Dortmund progressing on away goals).

  • Borussia Dortmund have only progressed from one of their previous four knockout stage ties against French sides in European competition – that one progression did come last season, however, eliminating Paris SG in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals with 1-0 victories home and away (2-0 on aggregate).

  • This will be Lille’s first knockout stage match against a German side in European competition since the 2002 UEFA Intertoto Cup final, where they lost 1-2 on aggregate to Stuttgart (won 1-0 at home, lost 0-2 away).

  • Lille have only won two of their 11 overall meetings with German sides in European competition (D4 L5), although one of those victories did come in the most recent one – 3-1 away to Wolfsburg in the UEFA Champions League in December 2021.

  • Borussia Dortmund have only lost one of their last 16 home matches in the UEFA Champions League (W10 D5), with that lone defeat coming against Barcelona last December (2-3). They’re also unbeaten in their last five home games in the knockout stages of the competition (W4 D1), keeping clean sheets in four of those.

  • Lille have the best shot conversion rate of any team in the UEFA Champions League this season, netting with 22.7% of their attempts (17/75). Indeed, only Feyenoord (+8.7) have a bigger positive differential between goals and Expected Goals than Lille this term (+7.4 – 17 goals from 9.6 xG).

  • Julian Brandt has assisted five goals in the UEFA Champions League this season; the joint-most by any player. The only Dortmund player to provide more in a single edition in the competition is Ousmane Dembélé, who set up six goals in 2016-17.

  • Jonathan David has netted six goals in eight appearances in the UEFA Champions League this season. Meanwhile, if he scores in this game, he’ll become Lille’s all-time top scorer in major European competition, overtaking Yusuf Yazici (both on 12).

  • Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck is the only player to have completed 100+ forward passes while under high-intensity pressure in the UEFA Champions League this season (119). Indeed, he has also made more line-breaking passes (170) than any other defender in the competition in 2024-25.

  • Based on the quality of shots on target faced (using xG), Lille’s Lucas Chevalier has prevented the third-most goals of any goalkeeper in the UEFA Champions League this season (+3.8 – 10 conceded from 13.8 xG on target). Chevalier is also the youngest goalkeeper remaining in the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League who already made an appearance (23y 118d on the day of this game).
