Borussia Dortmund returns to action at the 2025 Club World Cup looking to shake off a sluggish start as they face Mamelodi Sundowns at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati. After a frustrating stalemate against Fluminense, the German side is eyeing a much-needed win to keep pace in Group F.
Nico Kovac's men were second-best for large stretches against the Brazilians, failing to make the most of their limited chances in a 0-0 draw. Now, with the two lower-ranked teams in the group still ahead on the schedule, Dortmund knows it’s crunch time, goal difference could well be the decider for a top spot finish.

Mamelodi Sundowns, on the other hand, are already flying high. The South African champions, winners of their domestic league eight times in a row, made history with a 1-0 triumph over Ulsan Hyundai thanks to a composed finish from Iqraam Rayners. Sitting atop the group, they head into this clash with nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Mamelodi Sundowns vs. Borussia Dortmund prediction, tips, bet builder and odds for Club World Cup clash
Borussia Dortmund to win + Over 2.5 total goals: 10/11 (BetVictor)
The pressure’s on Dortmund not just to win, but to do it with authority. While their offense sputtered in the opener, the Bundesliga giants are expected to find their rhythm against a team that, on paper, they outmatch. Dortmund has scored two or more goals in five of their last six road fixtures, if that trend continues, this combo pick could hit with value.
Serhou Guirassy to score first: 3/1 (BetVictor)
After being kept quiet by Fluminense, Guirassy will be hungry to make his mark. The prolific forward, who represents Guinea internationally, was electric last season, netting 21 goals in 30 Bundesliga appearances and topping the Champions League scoring charts with 13 goals in 14 games. Whether he breaks the deadlock or puts the finishing touch on a Dortmund win, Guirassy is primed to be the difference-maker in this one.
