Dortmund returns to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 with the goal of escaping a slow start. They will face Mamelodi Sundowns at the TQL Stadium in Cincinnati.
After a disappointing draw against Fluminense, the German team is aiming for a much-needed victory to keep its hopes of moving on to Group F. Coach Nico Kovac's players wasted many opportunities in the 0-0 draw with the Brazilian team.
In contrast, Mamelodi Sundowns are flying high. The South African team made history with a 1-0 victory over Ulsan Hyundai thanks to a calm finish from Iqraam Rayners. At the top of the table, they entered this clash with high spirits.
Of course, Dortmund are still rated much higher than Mamelodi Sundowns. The victory over Ulsan could not cover up the poor performance of Mamelodi Sundowns. They just lost 1-2 to Pyramids in the African Champions League in early June.
In general, Mamelodi Sundowns are still lacking high-class stars to face a top team in Europe.
With the difference in class, it is likely that this match will be a one-sided one-sided match. Dortmund's attack could play explosively after a failed start.
