UEFA Champions League
Dortmund suffered another disappointment in the German Bundesliga over the weekend after a 0:2 loss as a guest to Bochum. They are now in 11th place in the standings. However, they continue to perform well in the Champions League, as they shocked Sporting as a guest with a 3:0 victory a week ago. Now they return home, where, besides the loss to Barcelona, they have won their other home games so far in the tournament. Dortmund has only won one of their last seven home games in all competitions, but it was precisely in that match against Shakhtar with a 3:1 victory.
Sporting started very well in the Champions League. It was precisely because of the strong start that they managed to advance to the group stage. However, after the departure of former coach Ruben Amorim, the team started to decline. Sporting has not won any of their subsequent five matches in the tournament since parting ways with Amorim, and now they are on the verge of being eliminated from the competition.
Prediction: both teams to score, victory for DortmundDortmund has a comfortable lead and everything indicates that they will continue to advance, despite their poor performance in the German league. Sporting has declined after the coaching change in the fall, and I expect them to lose again here or at least score a goal this time.
