BVB Makes Four Changes for Clash with Lille
In an intriguing move, Niko Kovac has decided against a complete overhaul of his team but has still opted for a few significant changes ahead of Borussia Dortmund's Champions League round of 16 second leg against OSC Lille, kicking off at 18:45 (DAZN). After a disappointing 0:1 defeat in the Bundesliga against FC Augsburg, Kovac has brought in four fresh faces: Waldemar Anton, Julian Ryerson, Marcel Sabitzer, and Maximilian Beier will step into the starting lineup.
Sitting on the substitutesโ bench for the encounter at Stade Pierre-Mauroy will be Yan Couto, Salih รzcan, Ramy Bensebaini, and Jamie Gittens. The first leg, which took place last week in Dortmund, ended in a 1:1 draw. The stakes are high, as the winner of this tie will proceed to the quarter-finals, where they could face the might of FC Barcelona on either April 8/9 or April 15/16.
This match promises to be a gripping affair, with both teams eager to cement their place in the next round.
