This Group F match at the TQL Stadium in Cincinnati on Saturday between ‘The Stylish Guys’ and Der BVB is expected to be an exciting affair. Read further for our predictions.
Brazil’s Fluminense and South Korea’s Ulsan HD are the other teams in the group. Mamelodi start this round at the top of the group and will be confirmed in the knockouts with a victory. Dortmund are locked with Fluminense for the second spot, and a loss could be catastrophic, although it would not yet knock them out.
It was a 0-0 result for Dortmund in the first match, and they were perhaps lucky not to have lost to Fluminense. As for Mamelodi, they needed just a single goal to get past Ulsan HD. Although both teams have had low-scoring starts in this edition, this match could end up featuring goals from each side. Read more for our analysis.

Mamelodi Sundowns - Borussia Dortmund: Form Analysis
Mamelodi Sundowns earned a 1-0 win over Ulsan HD in their first match of the tournament, which was their first ever victory at a FIFA Club World Cup campaign. It was a 36th-minute goal by Iqraam Rayners that made the difference for the South Africans.
‘The Stylish Guys’ earned seven wins in their last nine matches (W7, D1, L1) after matchday one, although the majority of those matches have come against domestic teams.
Dortmund scored at least two goals in seven games prior to matchday one.
The 0-0 draw with Fluminense in their first match of this tournament could then prove to be an exception. Nevertheless, the Bundesliga side extended their unbeaten run to eight matches (W6, D2) with their result against Fluminense.
Dortmund do have precedence and history in this competition, having won the 1997 Intercontinental Cup, the predecessor of the Club World Cup. That said, they could edge closer to the exit with a loss, as that would keep them needing a win on matchday three against Ulsan HD and hope for a favourable result in the other fixture.

Mamelodi Sundowns & Borussia Dortmund Squad Analysis
Mamelodi Sundowns left 12 players back at home for this tournament, with Thapelo Maseko the biggest name of all. He remains the subject of intense transfer speculation, although the Sundowns would want to concentrate on this campaign.
The 4-2-3-1 system worked well for Mamelodi against Ulsan, with Iqraam Reyners playing the lone forward. Against a tougher and compact team like Dortmund, they may resort to 4-5-1 to counter the threat of Dortmund's pacey wingers.
Reyners has scored in six of his last eight games for Mamelodi!
Dortmund will continue to be without Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Salih Özcan for this fixture. Manager Niko Kovac started with a 3-4-2-1 system with Serhou Guirassy playing slightly ahead as the lone forward and Julian Brandt and Karim Adeyemi flanking him on either side.
With no goals and little impact from his side, Kovac injected fresh energy by introducing new signing Jobe Bellingham, Felix Nmecha, and Jamie Gittens. Dortmund even played with a 3-3-3-1 system at one point in time, but with no result.

Our Mamelodi Sundowns vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
A win on matchday one gives the Sundowns a chance to dream high and lock their place in the knockouts with a win against Dortmund. The result on matchday one marked a seventh win over their last nine fixtures, losing just once. Each of those games saw the South African side score goals, and their fans will hope to continue that trend. Dortmund haven’t scored any goals in their first fixture of the finals, but their record of scoring coming into the tournament was impressive. Our Mamelodi Sundowns vs Borussia Dortmund prediction is both teams to score.
Mamelodi Sundowns vs Borussia Dortmund - Other Interesting Predictions
Marcel Sabitzer to score anytime.
Marcel Sabitzer is an all-action midfielder but has failed to have an impact in the first match of this tournament. He does come into the tournament with some impressive numbers, scoring two goals and assisting once in three matches before, for country and club. Back Sabitzer to find the back of the net.
