Borussia Dortmund vs Sporting Lisbon Prediction: A crushing victory for the visitors.

Latest team news for Borussia Dortmund vs Sporting Lisbon

Coach Kovac has relatively few concerns about his squad ahead of Tuesday's match, although midfielder Felix Nmecha and defender Ramy Bensebaini are not expected to return to 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 match, is likely to continue partnering with Salih Ozcan in the center, 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 may force coach Borges to use Ivan Fresneda and Matheus Reis in a four-man defensive formation.

With Daniel Braganca sidelined for the rest of the season due to a ligament injury, the visitors will most likely field 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 likely candidates to partner with center forward Viktor Gyokeres in attack.

Latest football match prediction: Borussia Dortmund vs Sporting Lisbon

Dortmund secured the victory thanks to goals from Serhou Guirassy, ​​Pascal Gross, and Karim Adeyemi. Notably, the first two goals had almost identical finishing styles, both coming from low passes from the right wing towards the far post.

The home team finished 10th in their Champions League group, earning 15 points and just one point short of a place in the last 16. Unfortunately, they lost all three matches where they had taken the lead, including two defeats at home.

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

Currently, BVB is ranked 11th in the Bundesliga with only 29 points, 8 points behind RB Leipzig – the team currently holding the last spot in the Champions League qualification group.

Kovac's team has lost two of their last three matches, but has also secured three wins and one draw in their last six games across all competitions, scoring 11 goals but conceding 8.

Dortmund's recent home form hasn't been very impressive either, with three draws, three losses, and only one win in their last seven matches at Signal Iduna Park. However, they haven't suffered a defeat by three or more goals in their last 31 home games.

On Sporting's side, although they had a shot that hit the crossbar in the 18th minute, that was the clearest chance they created to take the lead.

Coach Rui Borges's team currently leads the Primeira Liga table with 52 points, but is only two points ahead of second-placed Benfica and has drawn their last two league matches.

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

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

Sporting's away record is also not very impressive, with only one win in their last eight away matches across all competitions, along with three draws and four losses. In the Champions League, they have lost seven and drawn three of their last ten away games.
