Borussia Dortmund will host Real Betis in their UEFA Champions League match on Wednesday at the Signal Iduna Park, with kick-off at 8pm BST, according to The Football Faithful. The match is part of their Champions League campaign matchday four. Both teams are dealing with several player absences and injuries. Borussia Dortmund is missing key players due to long-term injuries.

Borussia Dortmund is without captain Emre Can, who is recovering from an ACL injury, and Giannis Konstantelias, who has a cruciate ligament tear. Real Betis is also facing selection dilemmas, with Cucho Hernández ruled out due to a calf issue and Júnior Firpo missing due to muscular problems.

Borussia Dortmund has shown strong consistency, suffering just one defeat in their last thirteen matches, and holds six points from three Champions League matches. Real Betis has also performed well, experiencing only one defeat in their previous eleven matches and winning all three of their Champions League matches. The teams' recent forms and the expected lineups have been highlighted by The Football Faithful.

Borussia Dortmund enters this Champions League fixture with several notable absences, requiring manager Niko Kovač to adapt his tactical approach. The Bundesliga side remains without the services of captain Emre Can, who continues his long-term recovery from an ACL injury. The midfield depth is further tested by the absence of Giannis Konstantelias, who is sidelined with a cruciate ligament tear.
