Recent meetings
There is no recent head-to-head on record for Dortmund and Real Betis, which leaves the history out of the picture. That puts the focus on the current season, and on what each side does on the day.
What to expect
Both coaches will have spent the week working on the small margins, because that is usually where a game like this is decided. Whatever the table says, one-off games like this have a habit of ignoring the script. It should be a good watch for neutrals as well as for supporters of either club. Every point counts in this UEFA Champions League season, and neither side will give any away easily. Home form and away form can look very different over a season, and this game is a fair test of both. A clean start and a solid shape at the back are usually the first things coaches ask for in games like this. Late goals have a way of changing the story of a match, so it is worth staying with it until the end. Managers will have a few decisions to make before kick-off, and the starting line-ups are usually confirmed shortly before the game. However the match unfolds, it will add another chapter to the season for both clubs. As ever with fixtures like this, the pre-match talk counts for little once the first whistle goes. Supporters of both clubs will be hoping for a performance as much as a result. Games at this point in the schedule often swing on fitness and rotation as much as on tactics. Set pieces, transitions and the first twenty minutes are usually the things worth watching early on. Form can count for a lot, but it rarely settles a game on its own.
