Team News

Borussia Dortmund
Sporting
  • Ramy Bensebaini has joined Felix Nmecha on the sidelines for Borussia Dortmund ahead of this second leg.
  • Expect minimal changes to the side that cruised to a 3-0 victory in last week's first leg.
  • That would see Emre Can continue at centre-back alongside Nico Schlotterbeck.
  • Daniel Braganca, Pote and Nuno Santos are long-term absentees for Sporting, while Geny Catamo also misses out once again.
  • Morten Hjulmand returns from suspension here, while Viktor Gyokeres is also likely to come back into the side.

Prediction

  • Borussia Dortmund followed up the impressive 3-0 first-leg victory over Sporting last week with a bitterly disappointing 2-0 defeat at Bochum on Saturday.
  • Since his appointment at the beginning of the month, Niko Kovac has overseen one win and two defeats.
  • Sporting are now three games without a win after the 2-2 home draw with Arouca on Saturday night, but remain two points clear at the top of Liga Portugal.
  • Hopes of a comeback for the visitors look slim here, but expect them to show more fight than in last week's first leg, at the very least.

  • No more than one goal

  • If these MOFOs know something, it is how to bring down a 0-0 game!

  • Don't bet on this crap! Gyökeres has no health problems, yet he is not even on the bench: clearly, Sporting has given up on this game! Typical half hearted Portugues approach to this beautiful game. Dortmund on the other hand, would not force the issue: would stand back and park the bus. So, this will surely be a low scoring game - so much so, that even a 0-0 would not surprise me!

  • @Zoltan I just hope on 1:1/2:1 and nothing more than 3 goals here

  • @Zoltan yeah even if Gyökeres is available there will still shoot low because there is no player motivation for the recent match performances of both teams

  • Guirassy TSA +135

  • @KingKeno Blown pen smh

  • This match is a low score match. I will buy Under 3.5. The only people I expect to score here is Guirassy and Gyökeres.

  • @Gocyber Viktor G. not even on The bench

  • btts

  • Bts No, Sporting is a mess

  • @papaitucano have you not seen dortmund's defense this season?

  • @KingKeno lol this ain't bundesliga

  • O1.5/BTTS HT

  • btts
