I will put Dortmund ahead. Sporting had a good start to the Champions League. Even the top spot in the Liga Portugal table is still in Sporting's hands. However, Sporting has failed to win in the last four matches of the Champions League. Sporting has lost three matches and drawn one.

However, Sporting won 4-1 against Manchester City in this year's Champions League. However, when this happened, Amorim was the coach of Sporting. So the possibility that Sporting will be able to play well and win in the match against Dortmund is somewhat low.

Although Dortmund's performance is irregular. However, it seems that Dortmund is very serious in the Champions League matches. Dortmund is able to play quite well in the Champions League.

Recently, in the Champions League, Sporting has been less than satisfactory in its matches, which is of course different from the domestic league and of course Dortmund, in my opinion, is not much different because Dortmund lost 3 times and Sporting also lost 3 times. In my opinion, this match will certainly not be easy to predict because I definitely see that Dortmund will fight to the max as well as Sporting.

but for some reason I prefer to predict that Sporting will win that match because I am sure that in this match Sporting will definitely perform better and I am sure that Rui Borges will be able to make a good strategy in that match and I am sure that Sporting will be able to win. However, if your choice is Dortmund, which has the potential to win the match, it's certainly not wrong because it's certainly possible that Dortmund will win and Dortmund definitely doesn't want to fail to advance to the last 16.

I am sure this match is quite exciting where both teams almost have the same probability to win the match in the first leg, whether it is Sporting as the home team as well as Dortmund which is currently handled by a new manager. since Sporting was handled by Rui Borges the performance of this team has not shown its best game, whether in the Domestic League or the Champions League. in the Dortmund camp, we know very well that this team has not been consistent so far. especially now they have changed head coaches, we have not even seen Niko Kovac's performance in his debut with Dortmund. honestly I do not dare to speculate which team will win the match in this first leg, we also know very well that Sporting has more advantages playing as the home team in the first meeting. at the same time, Niko Kovac stated his goal with Dortmund. he said, we want to bring Dortmund back to where it should be. the match in the domestic league will be a picture of how Dortmund plays under the guidance of Niko Kovac, so for now there is not much I can assume other than seeing the performance of the two teams competing in their Domestic League. at least after that we have a little picture regarding the performance of these two teams, and maybe we can try to speculate and predict the match between these two teams in the playoff phase later.
