Real Betis are unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 matches, the only hiccup coming in a 5-2 defeat to Barcelona. They trailed 3-2 when Facundo Bernal was sent off, the red card ending their hopes of a come back.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side sit fourth in La Liga, their latest game ending in a 2-1 win against Malaga. Marc Bartra and Pablo Fornals scored in the first half but they were unable to clear away from the promoted side.

Predicted Lineups & Team News
Borussia Dortmund (3-4-2-1) Gregor Kobel; Joane Gadou, Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck; Julian Ryerson, Joey Veerman, Felix Nmecha, Daniel Svensson; Konstantinos Karetsas, Carney Chukwuemeka; Serhou Guirassy
Emre Can and Giannis Konstantelias are out with cruciate ligament injuries and not expected to return any time soon.
Kovac could make some changes here with Julian Ryerson, Marcel Sabitzer and Konstantinos Karetsas options to start.
Real Betis (4-2-3-1) Alvaro Valles; Angel Ortiz, Marc Bartra, Natan, Fran García; Pablo Fornals, Marc Roca; Antony, Isco, Abde Ezzalzouli; Troy Parrott
Junior Firpo is out with a muscle injury and Cucho Hernandez has a calf injury. Expect Antony to return to the starting side with Rodrigo Riquelme reverting to the bench.
Hector Bellerin could make way for Angel Ortiz and Diego Llorente will hope to return to central defence, but Marc Bartra will want to start against his former club.
