Borussia Dortmund host Real Betis at Signal-Iduna-Park on Wednesday, November 4 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).
No absences are flagged for either side heading into this one, so both teams should be able to go with their first-choice options. Serhou Guirassy leads the Borussia Dortmund attack with four goals already this season, with Joey Veerman and Felix Nmecha supplying from midfield. Fábio Silva has added 1 assist and 7 shots in just 164 minutes off the bench. Real Betis will lean on Troy Parrott through the centre and Abdessamad Ezzalzouli just behind him, while Marc Bartra remains a constant aerial threat from set pieces at the back.
Dortmund have won 2 of 3 outings, good for 6 points and a +1 goal difference. Betis have won all three of their group games, running up 9 points and a +3 goal difference that marks them as one of the competition’s livelier scoring sides early on. Expect that quality at both ends to tell at Signal Iduna Park: Dortmund’s firepower and Betis’s knack for finding the net themselves point to goals in both directions, with the hosts’ edge at home tipping it their way.
