<h1>FIFA Club World Cup – Fluminense vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips: Who’s the Value in Key Group F Clash?</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>On paper, Fluminense and Borussia Dortmund are the best teams in Group F of the Club World Cup.</p> <p>But football isn’t played on paper, so the sides will be leaving nothing to chance in this important contest at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Wednesday (02:00 am AEST).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Fluminense vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Preview</h2> <p>Fluminense are another of what we might describe as one of the Club World Cup’s ‘legacy’ qualifiers, having won the Copa Libertadores back in 2023.</p> <p>But since then, things have been rather more challenging – evidenced by the fact that they’ve now had five head coaches step into the breach in just three years.</p> <p>A 13th place finish in the Brazilian Serie A in 2024 meant that they didn’t qualify for the Copa Libertadores in 2025, while their domestic efforts this time around – Fluminense currently sit fifth in the table – suggest something of a small, rather than drastic, improvement.</p> <p>But drastic improvement is one way to describe Borussia Dortmund under head coach Niko Kovac, who was unveiled in February.&nbsp;</p> <p>After a poor start to the campaign, Dortmund improved to reach the quarter finals of the Champions League before blasting their way to seven wins in their last eight German Bundesliga games – scoring a mammoth 26 goals in that run.</p> <p>So good was their form towards the end of the campaign that they wouldn’t have wanted the season to end – they should be buzzing for the start of the Club World Cup accordingly.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Fluminense vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Angles</h2> <p>These Dortmund players have shown plenty of chops in big tournament football, having reached the final of the UEFA Champions League in 2024.</p> <p>They were the best team in Germany over the final weeks of the season, scoring goals – through many different players – at will, as well as beating Barcelona 3-1 over 90 minutes in a Champions League tie.</p> <p>It’s been a long time since Fluminense have been the best time in Brazil; in fact, they’re hanging onto mid-table mediocrity these days. And that suggests that, in theory at least, they’ll have their work cut out against a much-improved Dortmund outfit.</p> <p>The weather conditions in New Jersey are expected to be pleasant but cool enough for Dortmund to play their best football – and against a Fluminense side conceding an average of a goal per game this season, the rampant Germans are good value to thrive.</p>
