Borussia Dortmund — WLLWW — 10th: Borussia will have a practically full squad to face Sporting at the Signal Iduna Park. The Black-and-Yellows have no suspended players, and absences are exclusive to the injuries. Felix Nmecha is a guaranteed miss for the second leg. At the same time, Ramy Bensebaini could be available as well as Carney Chukwuemeka, but both would likely start on the bench after missing the weekend match at Bochum.
Sporting Lisbon — LLLDL — 23rd: The Lions have no suspended players for this matchup, with captain Morten Hjulmand returning from his suspension in the first leg. In terms of injuries, the assured absences are Nuno Santos, Pedro Gonçalves, Geny Catamo, and Hidemasa Morita. Daniel Bragança will also be out for Wednesday as he left the match against Arouca on the weekend due to a cruciate ligament tear. St. Juste is also likely out with a muscle injury picked up at Arouca. However, the Dutch player was publicly criticized by the manager, Rui Borges, in a post-match press conference, which makes his role in this match even more unlikely.
