Seeing the odds given by bookies is more profitable for Sporting which has lower odds than Dortmund,it is possible  because Sporting will play as the home team in the first leg but Amorim's departure has made Sporting's performance decline drastically in the UCL because they have not won since Amorim left so I prefer Dortmund who will most likely qualify for the last 16, because I saw Dortmund win their last game with the new coach.
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.
