Borussia Dortmund vs Betis team news and expert analysis
The Dortmund club climbed back to second place in the Bundesliga in the spring. After the summer break, they lost to Bayern at home in the Super Cup, but initially moved ahead of them in the new league campaign. However, by October, they had started dropping points themselves. The visitors from Seville finished fifth in last season’s La Liga. They are now holding their own among the leading teams, having even beaten Real Madrid, although they later surrendered to a 5-2 defeat against Barcelona.
The Germans began their Champions League campaign at home against Villarreal and won a thrilling shootout 3-2. But October brought a shock result: they lost 0-1 away to Bodø/Glimt. They avoided another slip-up against debutants Sabah, but only managed a narrow 2-1 victory.
The Spaniards have looked highly entertaining in this long-awaited tournament. They began away at Lille and secured a 3-2 victory. They then repeated that scoreline at home against Porto. At the same venue, they beat Feyenoord 1-0.
