Mamelodi Sundowns vs Borussia Dortmund Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | FIFA Club World Cup 2025

BVB were held to a draw, while the Sundowns secured a win in their first CWC 2025 match.

Mamelodi Sundowns are all set to battle Borussia Dortmund in their second group stage fixture of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The interesting contest between the two teams will take place at the TQL Stadium.

Mamelodi Sundowns are the only African side to secure a win in their opening game of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 edition. The South Africa side will be pleased with their start, but they will now be looking to step up as they take on Dortmund next. The Sundowns will have to look out for a better conversion rate in their upcoming game.

The Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund will not be very happy after they were held to a goalless draw in their opening game of the mega competition. BVB will be looking to come up with a better performance overall, as Mamelodi Sundowns will be confident enough to face them. But as far as the quality of the squad is considered, Dortmund can fancy their chances going forward.

Players to Watch

Iqraam Rayners (Mamelodi Sundowns)

The 29-year-old secured the Player of the Match award in the opening FIFA Club World Cup game for Mamelodi Sundowns against Ulsan Hyundai. Iqraam Rayners will be looking to come up with a similar performance here. He will have to use the chances he get and must not miss out on them, as it might drastically affect the Sundowns.

Serhou Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund)

Serhou Guirassy has been the top marksman for Borussia Dortmund for quite a while. But he failed to score a goal for his side in the previous game against Fluminense. He will be looking to step up here as Dortmund will be hunting for a win now.

Guirassy has dropped some great performances for BVB and is likely to be a menace to the opponent’s defence.
