Mamelodi Sundowns vs Borussia Dortmund Preview

Borussia Dortmund failed to impress in their first match, creating just 0.28 xG against Fluminense. I expect Mamelodi Sundown’s to prioritize defending here, so under 2.5 goals stands out as a value bet.

Mamelodi Sundowns v Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund had zero big chances against Fluminense and fired just three shots on target. Mamelodi Sundowns are undoubtfully placing a big focus on defense here, so under 2.5 goals is a value bet.
