Dortmund host Real Betis in a Champions League Matchday 4 meeting. We look at form, team news and the numbers behind a tie between two sides unbeaten in the league phase.

Borussia Dortmund host Real Betis on Wednesday 4 November, kick-off 20:00 UK time, in the fourth round of the Champions League league phase. Both clubs arrive unbeaten in the competition by the press reports, so there is plenty at stake in Germany.

Below we run through form, team news and the underlying numbers. Line-ups are not out yet, so treat everything on availability as provisional.

Dortmund form and league phase position

Dortmund sit 16th in the league phase table with 6 points and a goal difference of 1, which is currently a play-off place. Their record in this competition is a home win and an away win and an away defeat, and they have failed to score in one of their three games.

Domestically they drew 2-2 at Bayern München in their last league game and, according to the press, sit top of the Bundesliga. Over the last 12 months in the competitions we track, they have won 16 of 22 home games, scoring 2.41 and conceding 1.05 per game.

Real Betis form and away record

Betis are 7th with 9 points and a goal difference of 3, having won all three of their league phase matches. They have scored 3.0 goals per game away from home in this competition, though they have also conceded 2.0 on average on the road.

Their wider away record is more balanced. Across 26 away games in the last 12 months they have won 10, drawn 8 and lost 8, and both teams have scored in 65% of those matches. In their last six away games with statistics, both teams scored in four.

Team news and likely line-ups

Press reports list Kauã Prates as Dortmund's only absence, with no doubts. Guirassy and Bellingham are tipped to lead the attack, with Gadou and Anton expected at centre-back. The data provider lists a few other names with knee and muscle problems, so check the final team sheets.

Betis are without Cucho Hernández and Junior Firpo, and Facundo Bernal is serving a four-match domestic suspension. Antony is back in training after a viral illness and is expected to be available.

What the numbers say and how SharpTips helps

There is no recent head-to-head data and we have no recent finished Dortmund fixtures in the provider's match feed, so the picture rests on wider form. Competition-wide, matches in the last 12 months have averaged 3.30 goals, with over 2.5 landing in 61% and both teams scoring in 56%. As always, nothing here guarantees an outcome, and betting carries risk.
