Borussia Dortmund vs Sporting Lisbon Prediction: Bombard the away team

Latest information on Borussia Dortmund vs Sporting Lisbon squad

Coach Kovac has few concerns over his squad ahead of Tuesday's game, although midfielder Felix Nmecha and defender Ramy Bensebaini are not expected back in action until March.

Dortmund could start with a back four consisting of Julian Ryerson, Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck and Daniel Svensson.

Gross, who scored in last week's Champions League game, is likely to continue partnering Salih Ozcan in central areas, while striker Guirassy could receive support from wingers Adeyemi and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens.

On Sporting's side, the absence of full-backs Geny Catamo and Nuno Santos could force coach Borges to use Ivan Fresneda and Matheus Reis in a four-man defensive formation.

With Daniel Braganca out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury, the visitors are likely to deploy Zeno Debast and Morten Hjulmand in central midfield.

In addition, striker Pedro Goncalves is also sidelined with a similar injury, meaning Francisco Trincao and Biel are the two most potential candidates to join striker Viktor Gyokeres in attack.

Latest football commentary on Borussia Dortmund vs Sporting Lisbon

Dortmund won thanks to goals from Serhou Guirassy, ​​Pascal Gross and Karim Adeyemi. Notably, the first two goals were scored in almost the same style, both coming from low passes from the right wing towards the far post.

The hosts finished 10th in their Champions League group stage, with 15 points and just one point off a place in the last 16. Unfortunately, they lost three of the games in which they opened the scoring, including two at home.

Coach Niko Kovac has led the team through three matches but has suffered two defeats, including a 0-2 loss to VfL Bochum (the second-to-last team in the rankings) in the Bundesliga last Saturday.

Currently, BVB is ranked 11th in the Bundesliga with only 29 points, 8 points behind RB Leipzig - the team holding the last position in the group to participate in the Champions League.

Kovac's side have lost two of their last three games, but have also won three and drawn one of their last six in all competitions, scoring 11 goals but conceding eight.

Dortmund’s recent home form has been less than impressive, with three draws, three losses and just one win in their last seven games at Signal Iduna Park. However, they have never lost by a margin of three goals or more in their last 31 home games.

As for Sporting, although they had a shot that hit the crossbar in the 18th minute, that was the clearest chance they created to take the lead.

Rui Borges' side are currently top of the Primeira Liga table with 52 points, but are just two points ahead of second-placed Benfica and have been held to draws in their last two league games.

However, Sporting have already beaten Manchester City by three goals in this season's Champions League, winning 4-1 against the English champions on November 5. They also previously beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 in September 2022.

However, the Portuguese team is on a three-match winless streak (two draws, one loss) and has suffered four defeats in its last five Champions League games.

Sporting’s away form has also been disappointing, with just one win in their last eight games in all competitions, drawing three and losing four. In the Champions League, they have lost seven and drawn three of their last ten away games.
