----------------------
Borussia Dortmund will face Monterrey in the Club World Cup last-16 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, aiming for a quarter-final spot against either Real Madrid or Juventus. Dortmund topped Group F, while Monterrey finished second in Group E behind Inter Milan.
Team Analysis:
Borussia Dortmund enters the Club World Cup knockout stage unbeaten, extending a 10-match streak across all competitions. Despite modest performances, they topped Group F with seven points from three games.
Monterrey also advanced undefeated, finishing second in Group E after a decisive 4-0 win over Urawa Red Diamonds, helped by Inter Milan’s victory over River Plate. Both teams now prepare for their first-ever competitive encounter against opponents from each other’s leagues.
Player Situation:
Borussia Dortmund is set to lose Jamie Bynoe-Gittens to Chelsea in a £55 million deal, though Jude Bellingham’s strong form offers some relief. Julian Brandt returned from injury as a substitute, but his starting status remains uncertain, with other attackers available if needed.
Monterrey regains Jorge Rodriguez from suspension, though their dominant last match may prompt the coach to stick with the same lineup, leaving players like Lucas Ocampos and Sergio Canales on the bench again. Veteran Sergio Ramos continues to lead Monterrey’s defense.
Result Prediction:
Dortmund’s performance in Atlanta remains uncertain, but if they manage to contain Ramos on set-pieces, their defense should remain solid. A single goal might be enough for them to advance, reflecting their recent pattern of narrow wins.
Predicted Result: Borussia Dortmund 1-0 Monterrey.
