Fluminense vs Borussia Dortmund Preview and Team News
Fluminense Team News
Fluminense like to use their wings a lot when they attack, which can surprise their opponents. The Brazilian club are also known to be quick on the transition, passing from defense to attack in the blink of an eye.
Coming into the tournament in the middle of their ongoing Brazilian Serie A season, where they’re currently ranked fifth, Fluminense will be without the services of several key players, such as Keno and Otavio. Agustin Canobbio and Facundo Bernal are also doubtful starters.

Having won their last four games in a row, the team are in a good run of form, and one might expect them to carry it into the Club World Cup as well. Their ability to play long balls has often been praised, and fans could get a glimpse of that in the U.S.
However, this international tournament is set to present a different kind of intensity to the Brazilians. They can only sustain themselves if they keep possession of the ball for long periods and press high when they lose it. Interestingly, in 2023, Fluminense made it all the way to the Club World Cup final, where they were beaten by Manchester City.
Fluminense predicted lineup vs Borussia Dortmund (4-3-3): Fabio; Xavier, Silva, Freytes, Rene; Hercules, Martinelli, Ganso; Arias, Cano, Serna.
Borussia Dortmund Team News
In the upcoming match, Borussia Dortmund will be without the services of several key players: Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, Salih Ozcan, and Soumaila Coulibaly. The eight-time Bundesliga winners had a disappointing run in the 2024-25 league season, finishing fourth.
They’ll look to turn things around in the Club World Cup under manager Niko Kovac, who is expected to stick with his usual 4-2-3-1 formation. With striker Guirassy at the top, Dortmund appear to be a fearful force that could lead the charts in this tournament.

However, it’s also the presence of central midfielder Marcel Sabitzer that gives Borussia their shape and allows their attackers to run freely in the final third after receiving perfectly weighted passes. Sabitzer, who scored in their last Bundesliga game of the season against Holstein Kiel, will be crucial for the team, especially in dead-ball situations from outside the box.
The squad have been brilliant in their last five matches, scoring 17 goals and only conceding six. Their two clean sheets during that span prove that their defense is in fine fettle. Kovac’s side could be one of the most well-oiled teams in this tournament.
Borussia Dortmund predicted lineup vs Fluminense (4-2-3-1): Kobel; Ryerson, Anton, Sule, Bensebaini; Sabitzer, Gross; Adeyemi, Reyna, Gittens; Guirassy.
Fluminense vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
- Pick: Borussia Dortmund to win
- Odds: -179 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Fluminense 1-3 Borussia Dortmund
As the outright favorites, Borussia Dortmund are expected to win this clash without breaking into a sweat. They boast one of the best attacking units in Europe, which looks forward to being put through their paces and is unlikely to face much resistance from the Fluminense defenders.
The only way the Brazilians can prevent Dortmund from running riot in the upcoming fixture is by tightening their passing game, right from their central midfielders to their defenders.
However, Kovac’s men, who have scored a whopping 17 goals in their last five matches, will be hard to contain. Their attackers are known to be extremely clinical in the final third, making ample use of the space on offer.
Fluminense vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2.5 goals
- Odds: -147 (20Bet)
We expect the total to go over 2.5 goals, with most of them scored by Dortmund. They’ve hit that mark in each of their last five outings, whereas Fluminense have seen it happen in two out of their previous four.
The Brazilian side, known for their flamboyance on the ball, will have to protect their net from the prying German attackers, which is easier said than done. Dortmund are expected to have an upper hand since they’re known to play short passes and deploy their fullbacks into the final third, while their opponents are likely to resort to a zonal marking approach to counter this threat.
