Date – June 17, 2025 .

The stage is definitely set at the on going FIFA Club World Cup being hosted by USA , when European giants Dortmund faces another South American side from Brazil , Fluiminense at Met Life stadium this afternoon .
This is Borrussia Dortmund fort appearance at the Club World Cup , they qualified based on their four year UEFA co-efficient ranking for club sides , while their Brazilian opponents were runners up in the 2023 edition when they lost to Manchester City 4-0 .

The Brazilian side are not new to this tournament , while their European counter parts are just minnows in this regard .
Having played a final in this stage , Fluiminense should not be taken for granted in this encounter today by Borrrusia Dortmund .

Presently seated in the sixth position in the top flight in the Brazilian league with 20 points , they eating was further enhanced with their 2-0 win against Internatciona l as well as having scored 10 goals in their last four games .
The Tricolour as they are popularly called in Brazil have scored at least 2 goals in their last six matches with an average of 2 goals per match with the most recent four games seeing one first half goal , these are the statistics Dortmund should not take for granted in today s encounter .
Fluinense defensive prowess are second to none right now , they have kept two clean sheets and are unbeaten in six matches presently .

Dortmund had a wonderful season under their head Coach Nico Kovac who turned the fortunes the Bundesliga side around when their former Mamanger Nurin Sahin leftthen at the 11th position in the Bundesliga , but his Midas touch catapulted then to the fourth position last season and they also qualifed for the Champions league as well. , but that should not bring any form of complacency on their side , as their opponents today are no push overs in this type of mind games , Dortmund mat need a strong attacking formula today to dismemher the rear men from Brazil , who have some of their players who have played top flight football in Europe , like Thiago Silva who recently left Chelsea last two seasons after a glorious stay in many European Clubs where he won many trophies , including the champions league . He is likely to get a starting shirt at his age of 40 year , though he is not bthe olldest player for Fluinense , their goal Keeper who is 44 stands out to be the oldest .
Dortmund ended the last season in style ,winning their last six matches and also avoiding defeat in the seventh one .
BVB have scored 20 goals in their past six matches , while also being vulnerable of some sort in conceding 13 goals in their last most recent games .

The Brazilian giants will be led by former Chelsea and PSG defender , Thiago Silva today who will be joined in the defence by Juan Freytes who has been partnering him in their previous matches
While another Thiago Santos will a solid rock in the mod field pack of three including , Nonato and Mathues Martinelli
Their striking formation will include Everaldo to accoonpneid by wide players Jhon Arias and Kevin Serna .

For Dortmund ,Niklas Sule , Waldmer Anton Ramy Bensebiani in the back three while Emre Can and Nico Schloteback are out due to injury . While Felix Nmecha and Felix Sabitzer are likely to start in the mid field pack ,the paor was wonderful dying the just concluded last season of 2024/2025 .
While Kareem Adeyemi and Julian Brandt will play a supportive role in the attack for striker , Sehoua Gurrassiy .

Predictions .
The Brazilians are likely to score against Dortmund , when we consider their porus and leaking defence in the past , but that should not be used as a yard stick to judge them in today’s encounter .
They may also have the upper hands against Fluinense , if they can put their acts together in the rear .
We expect goals but not so much .

Fluinense 3-2 Dortmund Or 2-1

Happy Viewing and Happy FIFA Club World Cup. 2025 edition
