Two days are remaining for the match between Borussia Dortmund football team and Football team. Borussia Dortmund football team is favorite for that match because that team has good players and that team has good head to head performance. Both teams played 4 matches between each other and Borussia Dortmund  won 3 matches and Sporting could win only 1 match. That match will be in the Estádio José Alvalade and we are expecting good competition between these teams and Borussia Dortmund team is favorite for that match but Sporting team should try to upset Borussia Dortmund team and result could be different from our expectations.The recent performance of both teams look like same because both teams won only 2 matches out of last 5 matches.

Looking at Dortmund's performance this season, I'm not sure Dortmund will be favored to win the match. Looking at their performance in the Bundesliga is also very bad, if the h2h of both teams a few seasons ago, maybe when Dortmund's performance was still good they could be superior. But right now they are not good enough.
But everything could change when Dortmund can no longer hope for the Bundesliga and try to do their best in the Champions League, indeed their performance in the Champions League is not bad, but I'm still not sure Dortmund will be favored in the match.
Dortmund might have a poor performance in the Bundles league but it turns out that they are better in the champions league competition. There are similar teams with same scenarios like this and that is why I won't underestimate Dortmund in the champions league competition.

If the head 2 head count for both team reads Dortmund winning three out of 4 matches which both played against each other then we should expect a very fierce game that could either lead to extra time or a direct 90' win because Dortmund still have strong advantage over sporting despite their poor bundles league performance.

Why I'm not so sure about Dortmund is not only because of their performance in the Bundesliga. But you can compare the opponents that Dortmund faced in the Champions League in the qualifying round were not strong enough and favored teams. Maybe only Madrid and Barcelona were their opponents from strong teams. And Dortmund lost to both of them.
Facing Sporting I think Dortmund could also have problems. Sporting is not a strong team if you look at their performance in the Champions League, both of them might show a tight game. It will definitely be an interesting match.
