The Champions League play offs begins this week, and one of the most mouthwatering first leg clashes sees Portuguese champions Sporting host German giants Dortmund at the Estádio José Alvalade. Sporting scrapped into the play offs thanks to a late Conrad Harder goal in Bologna, which earned them a vital point on Matchday Eight. Their performances in Europe this season have been slightly disappointing given their imperious domestic form. They are currently seven points clear at the top of the Primeira Liga table, but managed to win just three of their eight Champions League games. In contrast, Dortmund are languishing down in 11th place in the Bundesliga, but their Champions League displays have been largely positive. They racked up 22 goals in eight games during the league phase and only narrowly missed out on a place in the top eight. If they can bring that form to Lisbon on Tuesday night, we could be set for a thrilling game.Limited Offer. Currently at Fanatics

Our Sporting Lisbon vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
Both of these sides are capable of some thrilling attacking football, but can be slightly vulnerable defensively. Sporting will go into the game as slight favorites, but their European displays have been below par this season. That could open the door for a Dortmund side that have saved their best displays of the season for European nights. That being said, this is one of the weakest Dortmund squads for a long time and it is tough to completely trust them away from home. All in all, this looks like it could be a high scoring game between two evenly matched teams. Our prediction for Sporting Lisbon vs Borussia Dortmund is: Score draw.
