Fluminense vs Borussia Dortmund Predictions

• Borussia Dortmund won seven of their last eight Bundesliga games of the season
• Fluminense have only scored 15 goals in 11 league games this term
• Serhou Guirrasy was the top-scorer in the Champions League with 13

BVB to pick up where they left off

Borussia Dortmund finished the Bundesliga campaign in scintillating fashion, winning seven of their last eight league games and scoring 26 goals in the process.

Nico Kovac’s men will be full of confidence after that, having also secured the signature of Jobe Bellingham and holding on to Jamie Gittens despite interest from Chelsea.

They get their Club World Cup campaign underway against Fluminense, who have been in poor form at the start of the new Brazilian league season.

Renato Gaucho’s team have only scored 15 goals in 11 games despite only facing one of the five teams above them in the table and that is a concern against a BVB side who are riding high.

Brazilians may be able to net

Serhou Guirassy was in fine goalscoring form, netting 13 times in the Champions League and on 21 occasions in the Bundesliga. He should worry a Fluminense side who have a somewhat ageing defence including former Chelsea central defender Thiago Silva.

All in all, expect the German side to pick up where they left off and find the net with regularity in this opener, they are taken to win a game that also goes over 2.5 goals.

Both teams scored in six of Dortmund’s last eight Bundesliga matches and a repeat could be on the cards, a 3-1 BVB win is the correct score pick.
