Dortmund in the Club World Cup final: Bellingham debuts against Fluminense!
The countdown has begun: On Tuesday evening, June 17, 2025, Borussia Dortmund will make their first appearance in the Club World Cup against Brazilian champions Fluminense at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Kick-off is at 6:00 p.m. German time. And the signs are promising for Dortmund, who are the only European team competing in Group F and are clearly favorites. So reported Betting base.
BVB was able to present itself brilliantly in the last Bundesliga games and scored a whopping 22 points in the last eight games without losing once. Every appearance brought them at least two goals, which makes the attack around Serhou Guirassy and the talented newcomers more than convincing. Guirassy has already contributed 34 goals this season and will also be looking for goals in New Jersey. Jobe Bellingham, the younger brother of former BVB star Jude Bellingham, could also make his debut in the black and yellow jersey due to certain injuries after he was only signed on the last day of the transfer window.
Fluminense – An opponent with tradition
However, Fluminense, the 2023 Copa Libertadores winners, are facing legal challenges in domestic football. In the last season of the Brazilian Serie A, the team only finished in 13th place and the club has been waiting to win a title in this league for 13 years now. However, there is no need to underestimate the Brazilians. With experienced captain Thiago Silva leading the defence, the defense could pose an interesting challenge for Dortmund despite some signs of age.
An interesting observation is the signing of Yeferson Soteldo, who has 50 caps for Venezuela. Nevertheless, it is not easy for the veterans around Silva and Fabio, who is 44 years old, to compete against the dynamic Dortmund players.
The spectators and the atmosphere in the stadium
Over 80,000 spectators are expected at MetLife Stadium, with a large proportion certainly coming from Brazilian fans. All of these signs make the excitement rise. Dortmund coach Niko Kovač spoke with respect for Fluminense and emphasized that the Brazilians will be a dangerous opponent. BVB has only played against a Brazilian team in an official competition so far - the victory over Cruzeiro in 1997 remains unforgettable.
With all these factors in mind, it will be exciting to see how Dortmund perform in this prestigious encounter. However, the betting odds speak for themselves: a win for BVB is valued at 1.57, while for Fluminense only odds of 6.00 are offered. It would hardly be a better time for Dortmund to demonstrate their incredible form.
In summary, fans were in for a treat at MetLife Stadium this evening. The conditions are ideal and Dortmund has the chance to further cement its reputation in the international football sphere. Let's stay tuned to see how the tide turns on Tuesday!
