Borussia Dortmund – Betis Preview – Can Betis make it four from four?
Our Borussia Dortmund vs Betis betting tips start with an awkward fact for the hosts: Betis have won every Champions League game so far, and every one of them by a single goal. Dortmund arrive on Wednesday 4 November at 20:00 GMT at Signal Iduna Park, matchday four of the league phase, still hunting for rhythm.
Niko Kovač’s side were a goal down twice at Bayern on Saturday and still came away with a 2-2 draw. Serhou Guirassy equalised in the 60th minute, and substitute Fábio Silva rescued the point in the 89th, with Harry Kane having missed a penalty along the way. Before that came a 3-2 cup win over Werder Bremen and a 1-0 loss at Eintracht Frankfurt. Goals go in at both ends of Dortmund games, and that is the whole story here.
Betis, under Manuel Pellegrini, are not shy either. Their 3-2 win away at Lille came with three goals after the break, and they have also beaten Porto and Feyenoord by the odd goal. They sit among the early leaders in the league phase, while Dortmund are further back and need the points more. Home advantage gives Dortmund a narrow edge on paper, but this reads as an open game, and I would rather play the shape of it than pick a side to win.
Borussia Dortmund – Betis Betting Tips
Betting Tip: Over 3.5 goals
Dortmund’s recent 2-2 and 3-2 games both reached four goals, and so did Betis’s win at Lille. That is a pattern across both camps, not a one-off. Dortmund’s back line has been giving up chances and Betis have the attackers to take them. The line is high, but this fixture is built for it.
Betting Tip: Double chance Betis or draw
Three Champions League games, three wins by one goal: Betis stay close to whoever they play and find a way to edge it. Dortmund are patchy, with a recent defeat in Frankfurt, and a missing midfield or two according to one injury list we cannot fully confirm. Covering the draw as well as a Betis win protects you against the narrow home win that can still happen.
Betting Tip: Both teams to score
- Borussia Dortmund have conceded in four of their last five matches
- Borussia Dortmund have scored in three of their last five matches
- Borussia Dortmund have seen both teams score in three of their last five matches
Dortmund have conceded in four of their last five, and Betis have scored in each of their Champions League wins. Both sides leak and both sides create, so this is the most natural fit of the three. It also sits comfortably alongside the goals pick, because a four-goal game almost always means both nets are shaken.

What to expect
Expect a loose, end-to-end evening. Kovač has shown he will switch shape mid-game (he said his team “played with a back four” at Bayern even from a three-man start), which tells you the defensive structure is still being worked out. Betis will happily trade blows rather than sit back.
