The Borussia Dortmund vs Real Betis betting odds make the hosts 8/11 with Coral, which feels about right for a Champions League night pitting the competition's fiercest pressers against a perfect Betis.
Dortmund have turned SIGNAL IDUNA PARK into a fortress in Europe, losing just twice in their last 24 Champions League home games. They are also unbeaten in six competitive outings on their own ground.
Manuel Pellegrini's Betis have won every one of their Champions League outings so far. They have also lost only once in all competitions since the start of September.
The only previous meeting between the clubs went Dortmund's way, but this is the first competitive one. Victory would keep Betis perfect, while Dortmund badly need the points to climb the table.
Borussia Dortmund vs Real Betis Form
A draw against Bayern Munich at the weekend kept Dortmund level at the top of the Bundesliga and extended their unbeaten run across all competitions. Europe has been patchier, with a defeat to Bodø/Glimt leaving them on six points from three games. Serhou Guirassy has scored all four of their Champions League goals, which is brilliant for him and a little worrying for everyone else.
Betis have been relentless. A narrow win over Feyenoord kept their European record spotless, and they remain firmly in contention for a top-four finish in La Liga. Isco, who scored the winner against Feyenoord, is the creative heartbeat, and this side get stronger as games go on, with six of their seven goals in the competition arriving after half-time.

Borussia Dortmund vs Real Betis Talking Points
Pellegrini returns to the ground where his Málaga side were knocked out of the Champions League by two stoppage-time goals, and he will not need reminding. Betis are also chasing history, bidding to become the first Spanish club outside Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid to win four straight Champions League matches since Sevilla managed it.

If Bartra wins that battle, Betis stay in it. Our prediction is that he will not win it often enough.
