Latest team news for Dortmund vs Mamelodi Sundowns.
Borussia Dortmund will be missing several key players in midfield and defense as Emre Can, Salih Özcan, and center-back Nico Schlotterbeck are all unavailable due to injury. However, coach Niko Kovac's squad still has many quality options such as Sabitzer, Brandt, Ryerson, and especially striker Guirassy – who is in consistent goal-scoring form.
Meanwhile, Mamelodi Sundowns are bringing their strongest squad to the Club World Cup. The South African team will continue to place their trust in key players such as goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, midfielder Themba Zwane, and especially striker Marcelo Allende, who played a major role in their historic victory against Ulsan Hyundai in the first match.

Latest football match prediction: Dortmund vs Mamelodi Sundowns
Dortmund started the season with a goalless draw against Fluminense. This result was somewhat disappointing given they were the favorites, but it's understandable as it was their first match after more than a month's break since the end of the 2024/25 Bundesliga season. A lack of ball control and cohesion is clearly an issue Dortmund will need to address immediately.
Nevertheless, Dortmund still possesses a superior squad, especially in attack with experienced and creative players. Their physical advantages, speed, and experience in European football are certainly a major plus for the yellow-and-black team in their clash with Mamelodi Sundowns.
Conversely, the South African representative secured a 1-0 victory against Ulsan to temporarily take the lead in the group. However, their opponent in that match was considered much weaker than Dortmund. Overall, despite their stable form (winning 3 out of their last 5 matches), Mamelodi Sundowns still lacks truly world-class individuals to compete against a top European team.
Statistics also show that in 3 out of Dortmund's last 4 matches, only one team scored. Meanwhile, Sundowns have seen the same in 7 out of their last 9 matches. Given the difference in quality, the match is likely to be one-sided, where Dortmund's attack could explode after a goalless opening game.
