Borussia Dortmund team news: Niko Kovač will be missing Kauã Prates, Justin Lerma, Giannis Konstantelias and Emre Can due to injury. Apart from that, Dortmund have no new concerns following their draw with Bayern Munich, enabling the Croatian manager to keep most of the team that has contributed to their current unbeaten run.
Borussia Dortmund team news: Gregor Kobel is expected to remain in goal behind Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck and Ramy Bensebaini in a back three. Dortmund have been notably intense when out of possession in the Champions League, pressing 49% of their opponents’ touches, the highest in the competition. Their defensive structure will be crucial against a Betis team that has scored in each of their first three European games.
Real Betis team news: Manuel Pellegrini will be missing Facundo Bernal due to suspension, while Juan Hernández and Júnior Firpo are unavailable through injury. The visitors otherwise have a strong squad at their disposal as they aim to keep their perfect league phase record intact.
Real Betis team news: Álvaro Vallés is set to start behind Héctor Bellerín, Marc Bartra, Natan and Fran García. Bartra, who has previously played for Dortmund, has been particularly effective in aerial duels, winning 15 of his 18 challenges in this season’s Champions League. His 83% success rate is the highest among players with at least ten aerial duels, and his experience could be crucial against Guirassy’s physical presence.
Borussia Dortmund are without 3 — Emre Can (Out - injured), Giannis Konstantelias (Out - injured), Justin Lerma (Out - injured).
Real Betis are without 3 — Cucho Hernández (Out - injured), Junior Firpo (Out - injured), Facundo Bernal (Out - suspended). Cucho Hernández (7.66/10) would normally be first on the team sheet — that is a real hole in this side.
