Analysis & key factors

  • The Lions visited FC Porto last Friday and took one point from Dragao, 1-1.
  • Dortmund conceded a goal in 13 consecutive games.

Sporting and Borussia haven’t been playing well recently. They oscillate a lot and tend to have blackouts during games. Both teams score and allow goals, which is why all those betting on the Champions League hope to profit from it.

Game Preview

Sporting took a point against Porto despite leading throughout most of the game. However, some official calls have disrupted their focus, and Porto managed to level at 1-1 in the end.

Six of the last seven games Sporting played saw 2 or 3 goals – moderate efficiency. Five of them saw both teams scoring, which is normal for the Lions, whose defense is unstable.

Meanwhile, Borussia lost to Stuttgart at home, 1-2. This is a big setback for the Millionaires ahead of a very important game against Sporting. It was also the 13th consecutive event in which they have allowed at least one goal.

Borussia’s road results are pretty mediocre. They have lost six of the past ten outings, with one tie and only three triumphs. Needless to say, they have only one clean sheet during the whole stretch.

Sporting vs. Borussia Dortmund Head-to-Head

The previous two meetings were in the 2021 UCL edition. Dortmund won at home, 1-0 and Sporting in Lisbon, 3-1.

Sporting vs. Borussia Dortmund Prediction

This should be a game with goals on both ends of the field. As stated earlier, Sporting both scores and concedes, and Borussia’s recent statistics show the same. Therefore, BTTS is our pick for this event.
