    Predicted Borussia Dortmund Lineup v Lille: Jamie Gittens to start?


    Niko Kovač could make up to three changes to his Borussia Dortmund side that beat St. Pauli ahead of their UEFA Champions League game against Lille at the Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday night.

    Julian Ryerson has recovered from an illness after missing Dortmund’s 2-0 win against St. Pauli in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Kovač confirmed that the Norwegian is fit, and he is expected to replace Yan Couto in the starting lineup. Gio Reyna and Maximilian Beier also both started at the weekend, but there should be a place for Julian Brandt and Jamie Gittens after the duo’s substitute appearance against St. Pauli.

    Borussia Dortmund are without long-term absentee Felix Nmecha, but the only noticeable question mark heading into their game against Lille is the availability of Carney Chukwuemeka. The Englishman made an appearance against St. Pauli but suffered a knock following a collision. Kovač said in Monday’s press conference that they “will see how things develop overnight” before making a decision.

    Gregor Kobel – Julian Ryerson, Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ramy Bensebaini – Marcel Sabitzer, Pascal Groß – Karim Adeyemi, Julian Brandt, Jamie Gittens – Serhou Guirassy

    Borussia Dortmund vs. Sporting CP preview: Team news and predicted lineups


    After losing 1-2 to Stuttgart in Niko Kovac’s first game in charge, Borussia Dortmund looked to have turned the corner with an impressive 3-0 away win in the first leg of their Champions League knockout phase play-off tie with Sporting CP last week.

    However, as so often this season, a good European performance was followed by a poor domestic one, as Dortmund lost 2-0 to relegation-threatened VfL Bochum at the weekend.

    Centre-back Nico Schlotterbeck warned of a “horror season” ahead if Dortmund don’t steady the ship soon.

    “It’s about doing the basics on the pitch. Taking on duels, going into duels, winning duels. That has to change as quickly as possible. And if we can’t do that, then we deserve to be where we are. We have to get it right quickly, otherwise it will be a horror season,” Schlotterbeck said after the loss to Bochum.

    The Black and Yellows will now be looking to bounce back, seal a place in the last 16 of the Champions League against Sporting and then turn their attention back to the Bundesliga, where their main concerns lie.

    Fortunately for them, things are not going well for Sporting either, with the Portuguese champions now winless in their last three games after a disappointing 2-2 draw with Arouca at the weekend.

    In terms of absentees, Felix Nmecha and Filippo Mané remain on the sidelines for Dortmund with long-term injuries, while Ramy Bensebaini could miss out again with the muscle injury that has kept him out of the last two games.

    Carney Chukwuemeka, meanwhile, is expected to return to the squad after returning to training on Sunday following a knee problem.

    BVB coach Niko Kovac is expected to make changes to his starting line-up after the poor performance against Bochum, with Julian Ryerson and Salih Özcan likely to come into the side at the expense of Niklas Süle and Marcel Sabitzer, who both struggled on Saturday.

    Daniel Braganca, Geny Catamo, Hidemasa Morita, Pedro Goncalves and Nuno Santos are out for Sporting.
