Mamelodi Sundowns vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction: Dortmund to win this game

Mamelodi Sundowns vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction and Odds on 21 June 2025

This game is a typical example of continental football as Bundesliga giants Dortmund play against South African powerhouse Mamelodi Sundowns. The winner of this game advances to the Semi-Finals of the tournament, and each team will want to play in the semi-final, making this a game to watch. Sundowns have already exceeded the expectations of many by winning in a gritty fashion against Ulsan Hyundai to showcase their tenacity.

While Sundowns were proving their status on global football, Dortmund was held to a statement by Fluminense and would need to win if they were to go to the next round. 

Mamelodi Sundowns: Forms and Statistics

Mamelodi Sundowns will enter this contest with some swagger and confidence. Mamelodi Sundowns won yet another South African Premiership title by winning 24 games, drawing 3 and losing 1. The team also scored freely while having the meanest defence. The last five games Sundowns played resulted in three wins and two draws, conceding just two goals.

Their success is built on a tactically disciplined block, crisp passing triangles, and bursts of pace down the flanks. They average 1.86 goals scored per game and just 1.0 conceded, highlighting their balance. While they handle African opposition with confidence, handling Dortmund’s high press and rapid transition is a far bigger ask.

Borussia Dortmund: Forms and Statistics

Borussia Dortmund arrive with a bruised ego and something to prove. The Bundesliga runners-up closed their domestic season in blazing form with 7 wins from 8, scoring for fun and pinching a Champions League place. In their last five matches, they’ve bagged 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, with 12 goals scored and 7 conceded, averaging a healthy 2.4 goals per game. But that opening draw against Fluminense revealed cracks: lots of possession but too many wasted final balls and nervy moments when defending counters. Karim Adeyemi and Serhou Guirassy spearhead an attack brimming with pace, dribble threat, and ruthless finishing when on song.
