<h1>FIFA Club World Cup – Mamelodi Sundowns vs Borussia Dortmund Predictions: Who Will Prevail In Key Group F Battle?</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Given how well they ended their domestic campaign, it’s amazing to see how Borussia Dortmund struggled in their Group F opener against Fluminense.&nbsp;</p> <p>It means this game against Mamelodi Sundowns is something of a must win for the Germans – another draw, or worse, puts their Club World Cup hopes in serious jeopardy.</p> <p>The South Africans were good value for their win over Ulsan Hyundai last time out, so might just have the confidence of a side that feels they can upset the odds in Cincinnati.</p> <p>So how will this contest play out on Sunday (02:00am AEST).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Mamelodi Sundowns vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Preview</h2> <p>It really was eyebrow-raising as to how disappointing Borussia Dortmund were against Fluminense.</p> <p>They mustered just 0.24 xG from seven shots, with only one of those coming from inside the Brazilians’ penalty area. And while they were solid enough defensively, it’s noteworthy that their goalkeeper – Gregor Kobel – was named Man of the Match after making five saves.</p> <p>The beauty of tournament football is that they’ll have another chance to make amends on Sunday, but a vast improvement will be required if they are to beat a well-organised Mamelodi Sundowns side. The good news for their fans is that Dortmund can perform to a much higher level than they showed against Fluminense.</p> <p>Mamelodi enjoyed a fine time of things against Ulsan. The South Koreans opted to sit in a low block in the first half, ceding possession to the South Africans. And the Sundowns made the most of such a gift, taking the lead after 36 minutes.</p> <p>Ulsan opened up in the second period, but in truth it was Mamelodi who looked most likely to score next even after turning to a more conservative strategy.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Mamelodi Sundowns vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Angles</h2> <p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/fifa-club-world-cup/fifa-club-world-cup/mamelodi-sundowns-v-dortmund-9310011">Mamelodi Sundowns vs Borussia Dortmund betting odds</a> are predicated on the notion that the Germans will play something like their best football in Cincinnati.</p> <p>And the facts remain – Dortmund have better players than their opponents here and have beaten better teams than Mamelodi Sundowns in the past month or so.</p> <p>It will be interesting to see how the South Africans cope against an opponent that will be the aggressor, with Dortmund likely to control the ball and thus the game. Can they defend solidly for 90 minutes to keep the Germans at bay?</p> <p>Perilously short odds on Dortmund to win hold little appeal.</p> <p>But here’s a possible betting angle. Mamelodi conceded nine corners against an Ulsan side that rarely pushed them. The Germans play with genuine width in their 3-4-2-1 shape, so<strong> backing Dortmund to have Over 6.5 Corners </strong>at odds-against prices seems a good value prediction.</p>
