Borussia Dortmund v Monterrey Tips

Borussia Dortmund is unbeaten since losing away to Barcelona. Monterrey was nearly harmless when drawing with Internazionale and with River, though they won 4-0 against the weaker Urawa. Nothing unusual but the differences between the German and the Mexican leagues.

Borussia Dortmund drew with Fluminense in their group and Monterrey drew with both Inter Milan and River Plate. I do think this last sixteen tie will be a close game and I think it ends in a draw between these sides.

Offensively, Dortmund have been struggling of late, and we can expect that trend to continue against the Mexican side Monterrey.

Monterrey won their last game 4-0 against Urawa to qualify from the group, and I am backing they will give Dortmund a game. The Mexicans drew with Inter Milan and River Plate, and with the way Dortmund beat Mamelodi 4-3, I am going for another over 2.5 goal game.

This is round 16 in the FIFA Club World Cup, played at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, Georgia, and it is the first time these two teams have met. Monterrey has won 3, drawn 2, and lost 1 of their last 6 matches played and play in the Mexican Liga MX, winning their last group game 4-0 against Urawa. Monterrey has scored 17 goals and conceded 9 goals in their last 6 matches played. Borussia Dortmund has won 5 and drawn 1 of their last 6 matches played and play in the German Bundesliga, winning their last group game 1-0 against Ulsan. Borussia Dortmund has scored 13 goals and conceded 3 goals in their last 6 matches played. I am taking this match to have under 2.5 goals scored in this game tonight.

Borussia Dortmund, first in Group F with W2, D1, but with a bad defense. CF Monterrey finished second in Group E (D2 and W1). They managed respectable draws against favorites River Plate and Inter Milan. I expect a tough battle with goals from both sides.

Dortmund finished their domestic season in fine form with five straight wins. They had a comfortable passage through the group stage and should be able to dispense of Mexican side Monterrey with ease.
