Sporting has Gyokeres as a goal hungry striker that Dormund does not have so the attack will be much more intense from the hosts. We have seen Dortmund's performance which is still very inconsistent in quality, therefore Dortmund's focus at Sporting's home is to play defensively as long as possible. Just look at every time they face a sharp team, Dortmund can only rely on counterattacks.

Both teams are currently in the same condition but in different situations. Sporting with a new coach their performance is getting worse with the new coach after losing Amorim to Man United. While Dortmund with a temporary coach in the last three matches is getting better and now Dormund already has an official coach, Kovac. he will play the first match against Stuttgart later before facing Sporting, I think he will try to build positive momentum in this match before facing Sporting Lisbon.

So in this match I will still favor Dortmund to win this match even though this match is played at Sporting's home. Because the quality of the players owned by both Dortmund teams is better, Dortmund playing at the opponent's home of course they have to play defensively and rely on counterattacks but it must be realized that Dortmund is very effective in counterattacking. In addition, I favor Dortmund because they have a different mentality when competing in the UCL league competition, they were runners-up last season. So I am sure with the new coach Dortmund will play with a new spirit.

Dortmund is the favourite in this match. Sporting performance is not going well, and that is why I think Dortmund should be the favourite of this match, although Dortmund having a new coach is kind of making me think of another thing, but due to their experience and how they were performing last season,

that is what makes me favour them too. I understand that when a new coach comes in, it becomes difficult for some of them to start giving out results everybody is expecting, but since Dortmund has the mentality, let’s see what will happen against Stuttgart before we talk about Dortmund against Sporting Lisbon.
