Tied on six points after four games, Sporting CP and Borussia Dortmund met for the second time in 2021. Borussia took the win in the previous clash, after a tense 1-0 duel vs. the Portuguese champions. However, Sporting is a favorite to take the spoils in the upcoming match, as the hosts continue a nine-game winning streak in all competitions. Primeira Liga's champion comes from two consecutive victories in the UCL, while the guests lost both of their two matches in this tournament. Dortmund is currently dealing with a worrying amount of injuries, and will be without their best players vs. Sporting.

The only club to defeat Sporting at home in 2021 was Ajax. This squad is playing great under the young manager Ruben Amorim, undefeated in the league, and are the favorites to advance to the UCL playoffs along with Ajax. The hosts will be missing Sebastian Coates, Jovane Cabral, and Ruben Vinagre ahead of this game. SCP has scored nine goals in their first four UCL games, five more than Dortmund's five, and have kept better defense than their opponent. The hosts conceded seven times so far, one less goal than Borussia that conceded eight.

The guests are without their key starters: Erling Haaland, Mats Hummels, Thorgan Hazard, Giovanni Reyna, and Nico Schulz. They will also be missing Marcel Schmelzer, Mateu Morey, Dan-Axel Zagadou, and Marius Wolf. I cannot see the visitors prevailing with such a weak starting eleven, and the most they can hope for is a draw. Everything is on the head coach Marco Rose, who has proved to be a good manager in Red Bull Salzburg and Borussia Monchengladbach. Dortmund is currently second in the Bundesliga, winning nine and losing three of twelve matches they played so far. However, all three losses were away from home.

Good luck!

经过四场比赛，里斯本和多特蒙德共得6分，这是他们在2021年的第二次交锋。上次交手多特主场获胜。然而，在即将到来的比赛中，里斯本是最受欢迎的，因为东道主继续在所有比赛中取得九连胜。里斯本在欧冠联赛的两连胜，而客队在这届联赛中输掉了两场比赛。多特蒙德目前正面临着令人担忧的伤病问题，他们最好的球员将缺席比赛。

在2021年主场击败里斯本竞技的唯一一家俱乐部是阿贾克斯。在年轻主教练鲁本•阿莫里姆的带领下，这支球队表现出色，在联赛中保持不败，与阿贾克斯一起成为进军欧冠决赛的热门球队。本场比赛前，东道主塞巴斯蒂安·科茨、乔万·卡布拉尔和鲁本·维尼亚将缺阵。里斯本在前四场欧冠比赛中攻入9球，比多特蒙德的5球多5个，并且保持了比对手更好的防守。到目前为止，主队丢了七球，比多特蒙德少了一球，后者丢了八球。

多特蒙德哈兰德等多位主力球员缺席，同时他们还将失去施梅尔策、莫雷、扎加杜和伍尔夫。我不认为客队能以如此弱的11人先发取胜，他们最多只能希望平局。一切都在主教练马可·罗斯身上，他在萨尔茨堡红牛和门兴格拉德巴赫都证明了自己是个好教练。多特蒙德目前在德甲联赛中排名第二，迄今为止的12场比赛中赢了9场，输了3场。然而，这三场失利都是在客场。
