Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be for both teams to score at least one goal. It's true that Borussia Dortmund have a high-quality squad, but their recent performances have fallen short of expectations and Sporting could take advantage of some of their weaknesses. It's worth noting that the “Both Score - Yes” market has won Dortmund's last five official matches and Sporting's last three.
