Form analysis and trajectory

Borussia Dortmund: they come in on a three-match winning sequence, following one draw and one defeat before that. That is three wins, one draw and one defeat from the last five, worth 10 points. It leaves them unbeaten in four. Their 2025-season record in our dataset (102 scored and 63 conceded in 46 matches, 2.22 and 1.37 per game) points to strong attacking output with occasional defensive lapses. That is reflected in a form rating of 45.2 out of 100, and they sit 13th on a goal difference of +1. For a club of Borussia Dortmund's standing, that is a season off track rather than a slow start.

Real Betis: they come in on the back of a draw, following three wins and one defeat before that. That is three wins, one draw and one defeat from the last five, worth 10 points.
