Lisabon is all set for another huge football drama!
This evening Sporting welcomes the visitors from Germany, Borussia Dortmund, in the 5th round challenge from the Champions League group stage. They are part of Group C where Ajax sits in the first position with 12 points on their account. The dramatic aspect in the group is that Sporting and Dortmund both have 6 points on their account, so tonight’s match is highly likely to determine their chances to enter the next stage of the tournament.
Sporting CP opened the group stage in a bad manner. Namely, they lost their first two games against Ajax (1:5) and Dortmund (1:0). But after that, the Green and Whites bounced back by winning two consecutive games against Besiktas with a score of 4:1 and 4:0. So now the Portuguese crew is in the position to bring their best against the Germans in order to win the home field game. If Sporting manages to win the 3 points, they will have a decent chance to succeed in getting to the knock-out stage.
Borussia Dortmund on the other hand went through a different scenario in the group. They opened the campaign by winning two consecutive games against Besiktas (2:1) and Sporting (1:0). But unfortunately, they lost their last two games to Ajax with a score of 4:0 and 1:3. So tonight BVB must go for the win in Lisbon because most probably that will be their ticket to the next stage of the Champions League.
We are expecting a very dynamic football rhythm, where both teams will do their best to win the match. A slight favorite to win the game will be the hosting team, Sporting CP.
So turn your screen on and watch this exciting clash at Estádio José Alvalade, and witness the Group C unfolding.
