Borussia Dortmund have not won the European Champions League, but have been relatively successful in it in recent years. For example, in the 2023/2024 season, the Dortmund club played in the final, where they lost to Real Madrid. This allowed the Bumblebees to qualify for the Club World Cup, where they will face Brazil's Fluminense, South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns and South Korea's Ulsan in the group as favourites. Borussia will start the tournament with the most serious opponent. Fluminense will take part in the World Cup as winners of the 2023 Libertadores Cup. The team from Rio de Janeiro cannot be called a dominant force in Brazilian football. The last time the Flou won the national league was in 2012, after which they did not rise above the third position. To date, the team has gained a decent playing form, so it is dangerous for its European opponent. Bookmakers have identified the nominal guests as favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 1.52 on their victory.

Despite the fact that last year's Brazilian championship Fluminense finished in thirteenth position, today the team is a serious force. In the South American Cup, Flu had an excellent group stage, which ended in first place. In the current Brazilian Serie A, Fluminense are sixth, but are only four points behind the leader, and half of the teams ahead of them have played a match more.

Borussia Dortmund arrived in the United States in high spirits. Back in the middle of the season, the Bumblebees were failing in the Bundesliga, only performing decently in the Champions League. At one point, bookmakers were offering odds of 20.0 on the Bumblebees finishing in the top 4. However, the change of coaching staff to Niko Kovac and his team had a positive impact on Borussia's game, and in the last round of the German championship the club managed to achieve a place in the Champions League zone. What is important in the context of the proposed bet, the "Bumblebees" have returned their chic attacking style of play. Borussia will arrive at the World Cup with a six-match winning streak, during which they have never scored less than three goals. It should be noted that the opponents during this period were Barcelona, Bayer and Borussia Gladbach. Let's bet that the rivals will score at least three times on two.
