Sporting CP Borussia Dortmund betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 3^rd position, with 6 points won, after 2 wins and 2 losses. In the penultimate round, they have lost an away match against Ajax by (4‑0). In the last round, they have lost a home match against Ajax by (1‑3). In their last match, for the Bundesliga, they got a home win against VfB Stuttgart by (2‑1). Their last away match was for the Bundesliga and ended in a loss by (2‑1) against RB Leipzig. In the last 10 away matches Dortmund has won 6 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 3 of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 26 of the last 28 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 22 out of 28 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Dortmund comes to this clash motivated after a home victory, by 2-1, against Stuttgart: Malen and Reus scored the goals of the victory. Contrary to the opponent of this match, the away team should act in a 4-3-3, with the goal of taking advantage of the progression on the pitch through short passes. So, it's foreseeable that Dortmund will adopt a more offensive posture, taking into account that they have a superior quality squad. In this tactical formation, the three men who will have the mission to torment the defensive “enemy” are Thorgan Hazard, Donyell Malen and Marco Reus. The Dortmund coach will be without Youssoufa Moukoko, Erling Haaland, Marius Wolf, Thorgan Hazard, Giovanni Reyna, Mateu Morey Bauzà, Marcel Schmelzer, Nico Schulz and Luca Unbehaun as they are currently recovering from injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Gregor Kobel, Nico Schulz, Marin Pongračić, Axel Witsel, Manuel Akanji, Thomas Meunier, Jude Bellingham, Julian Brandt, Reinier, Marco Reus, Donyell Malen.
Coach: N. Şahin.
