Dortmund vs Ulsan Prediction
Dortmund vs Ulsan Prediction and Betting Tips for the final group stage clash of the FIFA Club World Cup, set for Wednesday, June 26 at TQL Stadium. Borussia Dortmund aim to confirm their place in the next round, while Ulsan Hyundai are already eliminated. In this article, you’ll find expert analysis and Club World Cup Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- Dortmund are unbeaten in nine matches, scoring 24 goals during this run.
- Ulsan have conceded 11 goals in their last five outings, losing three of those games.
- The German side scored four in their last Club World Cup game against Mamelodi Sundowns.
- Ulsan have never won a Club World Cup match, losing all six they’ve played.
Dortmund head into this encounter in strong form, having avoided defeat in their last nine games across all competitions. Their recent 4-3 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns highlighted both their attacking flair and defensive vulnerability. Serhou Guirassy, Jobe Bellingham, and Felix Nmecha have all contributed in front of goal, and the trio will be crucial again as BVB look to seal qualification. However, manager Niko Kovac will want his team to tighten up defensively, especially given the 16 goals conceded in their last 10 matches.
The Bundesliga outfit’s dominance in recent games can’t be ignored—they’ve won seven of their last eight, scoring at least three times in six of those victories. With 24 goals in eight matches, Dortmund are among the most prolific sides in the competition. Despite injuries to key defenders like Nico Schlotterbeck and Emre Can, their attacking quality has often been enough to overpower opponents. Kovac is expected to stick with an aggressive 3-4-2-1 formation featuring Bellingham behind Guirassy in a free attacking role.
Ulsan Hyundai, meanwhile, have endured a disappointing Club World Cup campaign. The K League 1 champions are rooted to the bottom of the group with no points from two games. Although they showed some promise in the first half against Fluminense—leading 2-1 at the break—they were completely overrun in the second half, failing to register a single big chance and conceding three goals. Manager Kim Pan-gon’s side have now lost three straight matches and are winless in their last four.
The Tigers’ defensive issues have been evident, with 11 goals conceded in their last five fixtures. Their only goals in this tournament came in the first half against Fluminense, and their attacking threat has otherwise looked limited. Injuries, including to forward Um Won-sang, have further hampered their chances. With a porous backline and little momentum, Ulsan appear vulnerable against Dortmund’s potent offense. This looks set to be another tough outing as they face a well-drilled German side chasing knockout qualification.
Club World Cup Predictions from XpertStats suggest a high-scoring affair is likely, given Dortmund’s attacking firepower and Ulsan’s defensive frailties. Goals are expected.
Borussia Dortmund’s matches have consistently featured goals, with 10 of their last 11 games seeing over 2.5 goals. Their 4-3 thriller against Mamelodi Sundowns highlighted their attacking potency and defensive gaps, making high-scoring games the norm. In this clash against Ulsan Hyundai, the trend is likely to continue. Ulsan have conceded 11 goals in their last five matches and have failed to win any of their Club World Cup games. Despite their defensive struggles, they’ve managed to score in key moments, as seen in their 2-4 loss to Fluminense. Dortmund are expected to dominate possession and chances, but their leaky defense may still allow Ulsan a goal. With Serhou Guirassy, Jobe Bellingham, and Felix Nmecha in form, BVB should find the net multiple times. Combine that with Ulsan’s poor defensive record, and the conditions are perfect for another high-scoring contest.
