Borussia Dortmund justified their role as favorites in the group. After a goalless draw against Fluminense, they achieved expected victories against Mamelôdi and Ulsan. The team finished the season strongly in Germany and is now unbeaten in 10 consecutive matches from all competitions, including eight wins and two draws. In seven of their last ten matches, they scored more than two goals.
Monterrey has been performing decently in the tournament so far and went unbeaten in the group stage, conceding only one goal in their three matches, and that was against the favorite, Inter. They even held a prestigious 1-1 draw against the "Nerazzurri". In their last match, they defeated the Japanese Urawa 4-0.
Prediction: victory for DortmundMonterrey has shown that they are not to be underestimated and have not suffered any losses in the tournament. However, I think they will suffer one here. Borussia Dortmund has been in good form overall lately. In addition, European teams have already begun to show that they are superior to all in the tournament. Historically, the statistics show that in the last 13 matches between European and Mexican teams, Europeans have 10 wins against 3 draws. This also leans the scales heavily in favor of Dortmund.
