• Borussia Dortmund have kept two clean sheets in their three games so far.

Die Borussen to take the win

After being held to a draw against Fluminense in their opener, Borussia Dortmund beat Mamelodi Sundowns and Ulsan HD to take top spot in their Club World Cup group, and they should be able to get past Monterrey to make the quarter-finals in the early hours of Wednesday.

The Bundesliga side absolutely dominated Ulsan HD in their final group game, with the 1-0 scoreline flattering the South Koreans after they allowed Dortmund 3.37 expected goals. This followed a 4-3 thriller against Mamelodi Sundowns, but something more akin to their 1-0 win against Ulsan HD is expected against Monterrey.

The Mexican club thrashed Urawa Reds in their final group game, but they were fortunate to draw against River Plate and Inter Milan, and their luck could run out at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

They generated 1.21 expected goals to their opponents’ 4.13 over their first two group games, having just three shots on target.

Borussia Dortmund look good value for the win here, and given Monterrey’s lack of attacking output in their first two group games, and Dortmund keeping two clean sheets so far, a 1-0 correct score prediction appeals.
