Mamelodi Sundowns FC vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips - Dortmund to Win
Dortmund returns to FIFA Club World Cup action this weekend looking to build on a somewhat frustrating goalless draw against Fluminense on Tuesday. In a keenly contested Group F opener at MetLife Stadium, Niko Kovac's side were forced to settle for a point after an inspired display by 44-year-old Fluminense goalkeeper Fabio.
A strong run of performances at the end of their domestic campaign saw Dortmund claim six successive victories before Tuesday's share of the spoils in New Jersey.
Having been held to a draw at the MetLife, BVB will be doubly determined to claim a first-ever World Club Cup victory ahead of their final fixture against Ulsan next week. With an in-form Serhou Guirassy fit and available, Kovac's men should have enough firepower to take care of their South African opponents in Cincinnati.
Of course, Mamelodi comes into this weekend's matches in high spirits after their first-ever FIFA Club World Cup victory against Ulsan on Tuesday. Iqraam Rayners first-half goal secured a vital victory for the South Africans.
"The Brazilians" now find themselves with every chance of qualifying for the knockout phase, but the step-up in class against a strong BVB side is likely to prove too much this weekend.
I'm backing Dortmund to claim their first-ever FIFA Club World Cup victory, while I also expect the talismanic Guirassy to get on the scoresheet in Cincinnati.
Mamelodi Sundowns FC team news
