Two years ago, the winner of the Copa Libertadores, Fluminense, played in the final of the old format of the Club World Cup, lost to Manchester City. Now they are in good form, having won their last four matches before the match. However, the Brazilian team has some aces up their sleeve. Manager Renato Portalup led Gremio to the final of the same tournament in 2017, and veteran Thiago Silva won it in 2022 with Chelsea.
Borussia Dortmund finished the season strongly in GermanyBorussia Dortmund made a strong final push in the German league, which ended just a month ago. They won their last six matches in all competitions and ultimately qualified again for the Champions League, which seemed almost impossible at one point. Over 2.5 goals were scored in the last 10 matches of Borussia. We will see if they can now transfer their good form and high scoring rate to the Club World Cup.
Prediction: over 2.5 goals, both teams to scoreBoth teams have played strong matches recently and we will see if this will be the case in the current tournament. Fluminense should not be underestimated, even though they are considered the underdogs in the match. I think the Brazilians can score at least one goal and we will witness another high-scoring match with the participation of Dortmund.
