Ulsan vs Mamelodi Sundowns prediction 17.06.2025 | FIFA Club World Cup

• Competition: FIFA Club World Cup
• Date: Tuesday, 17th June 2025
• Kickoff: 23:00 UK / 00:00 CEST
• Venue: Inter&Co Stadium (Orlando, FL)

Borussia Dortmund and Fluminense appear to be the strongest teams in Group F of the FIFA Club World Cup, but neither enters the tournament as a favorite to lift the trophy. This leaves the door open for Ulsan and Mamelodi Sundowns to potentially secure a spot in the knockout stage. The opening-round clash between Ulsan and Mamelodi Sundowns is especially important, as both sides will be eager to claim vital points to boost their hopes.

Ulsan doesn't have a good 2025 season. They are only third in the Korean K League 1, with a nine-point deficit to the league leader, Jeonbuk. Ulsan's form is far from ideal, too, as they won only one of the four games prior to the World Cup. In their most recent outing, Ulsan suffered a 3-1 away defeat to Jeonbuk. Although the match was fairly balanced, Jeonbuk's superior finishing ultimately secured them all three points.

Mamelodi Sundowns, on the other hand, continued their domestic dominance by winning an eighth consecutive South African league title. However, the season ended on a disappointing note for Miguel Cardoso's side, as they fell to Egypt's Pyramids in the CAF Champions League final. Both teams had their opportunities in the closely contested final, but in the end, Mamelodi Sundowns were left heartbroken.

Ulsan vs Mamelodi Sundowns pick: Both teams to score - yes

Ulsan scored in each of the last eight matches. On the other hand, Mamelodi Sundowns scored at least one goal in each of the previous nine games. We should expect goals on both sides on Tuesday in Orlando.
