Sporting lost its shine after parting ways with Ruben Amorim. After him, the team did not record a single victory in the Champions League (1 draw and 3 losses) and eventually barely made it through the group stage. The two teams scored in the last five matches of Sporting in the tournament, with the last one ending in a 1:1 draw at home against Bologna. Exactly three seasons ago, they won at home against Dortmund with 3:1 in the same tournament's group stage.
Niko Kovac started with a loss at the helm of DortmundBorussia Dortmund is also not in its best form, which recently led to a coaching change. Now at the helm is the former Bayern Munich coach, Croatian Niko Kovac. However, he debuted with a loss on Saturday with 1:2 as a host against Stuttgart. Otherwise, Dortmund had quite successful matches in the group stage, with only Barcelona finishing with more goals scored in the tournament group.
Prediction: both teams to scoreBoth teams are not in their best form, but I definitely think they are capable of scoring at least one goal in this match, considering their successful matches in the group stage.
