Yes Dortmund should at least get a draw rather than a defeat in the first leg later so that in the second leg they can play more confidently when playing at home and of course Dortmund's chances are greater than Sporting, I also think Dortmund will try hard not to lose in the match and I might bet on a double chance Dormund/draw. Sporting performed well only when coached by Amorim so I think with their current condition they don't have high expectations like at the beginning of the season.

Well, since Amorim left, I no longer have high hopes for Sporting CP. Maybe in the Domestic League Sporting CP is still strong and has a level of consistency that is still well maintained. But in the Champions League I think Sporting CP is starting to weaken. And I'm also not sure Sporting CP will be able to beat Dortmund. Because I think that Dortmund is still a team whose strength is still relatively strong. Even though it's not as strong as last season, I personally still think Dortmund still seems stronger than Sporting CP. But let's see. It's just that I have decided to favor Dortmund for this match.

But in the play-off round, I think the match that is easiest to predict is the PSG vs Brest match. because I think the difference in strength between these two teams is clear if you look at their domestic league matches. And last week PSG also managed to beat Brest in Ligue 1. So I think even in the UCL PSG will win when they face Brest.

You never know. He didn't leave the team and take all the players with him, they still have the same players and that means they are going to play a good football I am sure. I understand that losing the manager could be a big deal, but looking at how Amorim doing over at United, I can see that Amorim may not be the reason why they did so great, we have seen Amorim not do that well at United so far, which means that maybe Sporting didn't do that great because of Amorim neither?

Maybe they were already great as a team, like I mean the players? If that is the case, they still have a chance to win, and go further and that would of course be a good thing for the team. I am still not sure though, we have to wait and see how it works out.
