Dortmund host Betis at the Westfalenstadion (Signal Iduna Park) on Wednesday 4 November 2026, kick-off 20:00 UK time, in League phase matchday 4 of the Champions League. The two sides sit eight places apart, and the gap in results so far is clear.
Where the two sides stand
Betis are fifth in the league-phase table with three wins from three, nine points and a goal difference of +3. Only PSG, who also have nine points but a goal difference of +9, are known to be ahead of them among the clubs in our table. The top eight go straight through to the last 16.
Dortmund are 13th with two wins from three, six points and a goal difference of +1. That is inside the zone for the knockout play-offs, which cover ninth to 24th, and three points here would help close the gap on the leading group.
Form and season numbers
Betis have won all three results listed in their recent form: 3-2 away at Lille, 3-2 at home to Porto and 1-0 against Feyenoord. They average 2.33 goals per game and three points per game, and they have kept one clean sheet.
Defence is the one area where they match their hosts. Both teams concede 1.33 goals per game. Betis have also collected eight yellow cards to Dortmund's three.
Dortmund's recent results are mixed. They beat Villarreal 3-2 at home and won 2-1 away at Sabah, but lost 1-0 away at Bodø/Glimt. They average 1.67 goals per game and two points per game, and they have yet to keep a clean sheet.

Head-to-head and MFF's prediction
There is no recent meeting between the sides in our records, so this is a fresh contest with nothing to lean on from past results.
Betis have the better record and the sharper attack. Both of their last two matches against Lille and Porto finished 3-2, and they have not needed a clean sheet to win. Dortmund have not kept one, and a side scoring more than two goals a game will test them.
Dortmund have home advantage, though, and they have also scored in two of the three results above. A repeat of that would give them a platform against a defence that has let in goals in two of Betis's three recent matches.
MFF's match model predicts a 2-1 Dortmund win. It gives the hosts a 55% chance of victory, with a 21% chance of a draw and a 24% chance of a Betis win.
