Preview

Real Betis come to Signal Iduna Park with three wins from three in the league phase: 3-2 at Lille, 3-2 at home to Porto and 1-0 against Feyenoord. That is 11 goals in their three games. Dortmund have six points from a 3-2 home win over Villarreal, a 1-0 defeat at Bodø/Glimt and a 2-1 win at Sabah, nine goals in all. Both arrive in form. Dortmund drew 2-2 at Bayern on Saturday and sit level on points with them at the top of the Bundesliga, while Betis beat Málaga 2-1 the same day. Team news is quiet. Niko Kovac says everyone is fit apart from the long-term injured, and Konstantinos Karetsas will have his minutes built up step by step after playing in Munich. Kaua Prates missed Tuesday's training because he is with the U19 side for their Youth League game. Betis travel without the injured Cucho Hernández and Junior Firpo, while Facundo Bernal is available again in Europe despite his league ban. Nothing here is a fresh blow to either side, so we keep the market's numbers. We rate over 2.5 goals at 63%.

Our verdict

Two in-form sides who have both scored freely in Europe, with no fresh team news to change the picture. Over 2.5 goals is our pick at 63%, priced at 1.51.
