Borussia Dortmund is having a rough one this season. The Black and Yellows are in 11th place with 29 points, which is a disgraceful position for a club of their caliber. They are already out of European competitions as they are sitting 8 points behind the top 4 and with 12 remaining matches, their situation will only get harder. At this rate, Dortmund will extend their risk of not qualifying for European competitions at all. The change of Niko Kovač for Nuri Şahin hasn’t helped much either.
Dortmund faced yet another loss by 0-2 but notably, this loss came against bottom placed Bochum in the Bundesliga. Before that, they lost 1-2 against Stuttgart and managed a very slim win over Heidenheim where the final score was 2-1. That stark away victory in the first leg against Sporting makes much more sense in this context.
Sporting is still in the top spots of the Primeira Liga but has faced a massive downfall after Rúben Amorim left for Manchester United. Sporting lost their lead towards the Benfica as now the two clubs of the Lisbon are in an intense battle for the title. After round 22, Benfica is trailing with Sporting only by 2 points making the games left crucial.
During the weekend, the Lions shockingly dropped points at home against a modest Arouca (2-2). Prior to this, they had conceded a last minute equalizer against Porto (1-1). It seems like Sporting will soon be able to fully concentrate on their domestic campaign.
