Borussia Dortmund twice came from behind to draw Saturday's Der Klassiker at Bayern Munich 2-2 and next take to the pitch in the UEFA Champions League against Real Betis on Wednesday.
Niko Kovac's team are enjoying a fine season but meet a similarly free-flowing Real Betis, whose only defeat in 11 was a 5-2 loss to Barcelona.
They have a perfect league phase record, beating Feyenoord 1-0 in their last UEFA Champions League match, after 3-2 wins over Lille and Porto.
Borussia Dortmund v Real Betis Tips Summary
Best Bet - Over 3.5 goals @ 6/5

Borussia Dortmund v Real Betis Prediction
Best Bet: Over 3.5 goals @ 6/5
Borussia Dortmund may have lost only once in all competitions since their German Super Cup defeat to Bayern München, but that loss came in this competition at Bodo/Glimt.
Saturday's draw in Bavaria will have given them plenty of confidence. However, even with an almost perfect home record in the league and wins in their other two European games, beating Villarreal 3-2 and Sabah FC 2-1, they are tough to trust.
So are Betis, despite winning all three matches in their first UEFA Champions League campaign since 2005/06.
They beat Andalusian rivals Malaga 2-1 on Saturday and can contribute in another thriller at BVB Stadion Dortmund.
Alternative Bet: Serhou Guirassy anytime goalscorer @ 20/21
Serhou Guirassy is a streaky striker but when he is hot, he is an elite finisher.
After a brace against Villarreal, he failed to net in five before scoring twice away to Sabah.
Guirassy missed out on a goal in the win over Eintracht Frankfurt but netted in his team's last two games against Werder Bremen and Bayern.
Expect him to be a threat against a defence that conceded twice at Lille.
Borussia Dortmund v Real Betis Bet Builder Tip
Both Teams to score
Fabio Silva to score or assist
Abde Ezzalzouli 4+ shots
Pays 6/1
An open game is expected, so back both teams to score and Fabio Silva could be a big factor.
The Portuguese came off the bench to turn the game in his team's opening UEFA Champions League game against Villarreal and scored the equaliser at Bayern.
That was again as a substitute, but Kovac has increasingly used him alongside Guirassy from the start, suggesting he will get minutes either from the start or in the second half.
For Betis, winger Abde Ezzalzouli has registered an incredible 13 attempts in two UEFA Champions League matches.
He may not be the most accurate, firing off five efforts against Malaga but failing to find the target.
Ezzalzouli has also found the target with four of those 13 European efforts, but his lack of accuracy doesn’t appear to dim his confidence.
