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 always does the same thing every season, which is where they will focus on one competition, after seeing their chances in the Bundesliga, I think Dortmund only has the chance to play more optimally in the Champions League. It is very unfortunate because in the Bundesliga this season's decline is quite severe, and Sporting chances are much greater to win the match.
On the other hand, the play-off round presents Brest vs PSG, a match that is no less interesting. At least this match is an opener to watch before the special match between Man City and Madrid.

Putting all of focus on UCL won't guarantee Dortmund to play optimally coz UCL is far harder than Bundesliga. They're at 11th, and won't get a spot on UCL next season if they are still doing shit at Bundesliga. We know how important UCL money for them, but potentially to miss it in the upcoming season.

The only thing they can do to go as for as they can in UCL, then grab as much money as they can to fund next season.
Yep, all clubs in UCL must take their domestic league serious for them to participate in UCL. If Dortmund is not doing well in Bundesliga, it is impossible for them to finish on top four and also, they wouldn't be able to win UCL to get the automatic ticket next season as defending champions of UCL. This is why you see that most strong teams are always fighting to finish on top four every season, if they cannot win the league.
