Borussia Dortmund vs Real Betis Game Preview

Borussia Dortmund host Real Betis at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK on Wednesday in the Champions League, and the Borussia Dortmund vs Real Betis betting odds make the hosts the moneyline favorite.

Niko Kovač's side arrive unbeaten in five across all competitions after a gritty tie with Bayern Munich, a result that kept them level with the Bavarians at the top of the Bundesliga.

Real Betis have won every Champions League outing so far, and Manuel Pellegrini's side have lost just once in all competitions since the start of September.

The only previous meeting between the clubs went Dortmund's way, but the stakes are fresh. Betis want to keep their perfect European record intact, while Dortmund need to make home field count.

Betis edged Feyenoord 1-0 at home behind an Isco winner to stay perfect in the Champions League, and they remain in the race for a top-four finish in La Liga. They have scored in each of their Champions League games, with most of those goals arriving after halftime. Isco is the creative hub, and the attack gets stronger as games wear on.

Borussia Dortmund vs Real Betis Lineups & Team News

Injuries & Suspensions

Borussia Dortmund: Emre Can (Injured/out), Giannis Konstantelias (Injured/out), Justin Lerma (Injured/out), Kauã Prates (Injured/out)

Real Betis: Junior Firpo (Injured/out), Cucho Hernández (Injured/out), Facundo Bernal (Suspended)

Borussia Dortmund

Kovač has no fresh concerns beyond the injury list, so the Borussia Dortmund vs Real Betis lineups should look a lot like the side that tied Bayern. The press is this team's identity. Dortmund apply high-intensity pressure to 49% of opponents' touches, the most of any team in the competition. Up top, Guirassy carries the scoring load on his own.

Real Betis

Bernal's suspension is the only fresh blow for Pellegrini. Marc Bartra anchors the back four and has won 15 of his 18 aerial duels in this Champions League campaign, which makes him the natural matchup for Guirassy. Further forward, Isco pulls the strings behind Troy Parrott, with Antony and Abde Ezzalzouli providing the direct running out wide.

Borussia Dortmund vs Real Betis Talking Points

The headline duel is Guirassy against Marc Bartra. Bartra returns to SIGNAL IDUNA PARK to face his former club as an opponent for the first time since leaving in 2018, and his aerial success rate is the best in the competition among players with a real sample. Kovač isn't hiding the ambition either: "There's only one direction: We want to win this thing!" If Bartra wins that battle, the tie at +350 (Kalshi) comes into play, but our lean stays firmly with Dortmund.
