PROBABLE LINE-UPS FLUMINENSE BORUSSIA DORTMUND: WHO PLAYS AT METLIFE STADIUM?

The probable lineups Fluminense Borussia Dortmund lead us to talk about a very interesting match that will take place on Tuesday 17 June for the 2025 Club World Cup : we are at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, group F of the competition begins today and these are the two favourite teams .

Winning the opening match could mean that Fluminense or Borussia Dortmund will secure first place in the standings, as the other two teams are of a lower level; as for the choices of the field, the yellow and blacks have confirmed Niko Kovac at the helm.

Last season, the Croatian coach took over a Borussia Dortmund in crisis, led them to the Champions League quarter-finals, almost achieving a comeback against Barcelona , ​​but above all, brought them back to the top four in the Bundesliga.

Now this Club World Cup 2025 is played with a lot of hopes; we will see what will happen on the pitch, in the meantime however we must consider the way in which the coaches will choose to deploy their teams for this debut in New Jersey, and therefore we can take some time to evaluate in detail the probable formations Fluminense Borussia Dortmund.

FLUMINENSE BORUSSIA DORTMUND PREDICTION AND ODDS

In addition to the probable Fluminense Borussia Dortmund formations, we can read the forecast sanctioned by the Snai agency, according to which the Germans are fully favored with a value of 1.55 times the stake on the 2 sign, while the 1 sign that regulates the success of the Brazilian team would make you earn 5.50 times the stake. Finally, we have the possibility of a draw, identified by the X sign: in this case the bookmaker would reward you with 4.40 times what you have put on the table.

HOW RENATO LINES UP

The Brazilian project is entrusted to Renato Gaucho, in the probable formations Fluminense Borussia Dortmund we can hypothesize a formation very similar to the one that played two weeks ago against Internacional, winning away. Thiago Silva is the commander of the defense, Freytes plays alongside him and together the two protect the goalkeeper Fabio, having in Samuel Xavier (or Guga) and René the two full-backs who, obviously, push a lot. We then move on to the midfield where Ganso is still operational: no longer a starter, who however could find space together with Martinelli and Nonato ousting Thiago Santos.

The latter, however, would be the linchpin in front of the defense, so one of the other two could be left out; in the offensive trident Arias and Serna remain favorites over Lavega and Baya to operate as wingers, to tell the truth there are other interesting players like Canobbio who could have their say, in any case the center forward shirt in Fluminense should be entrusted to Everaldo, many offensive wingers but few first strikers in Renato Gaucho's team.

KOVAC'S MOVES

Even at the 2025 Club World Cup, Kovac should confirm the 3-4-2-1 with which he concluded last season: obviously there are still some questions about the possible use of the second lines but, wanting to go with the best, we field a defense commanded by Anton with Sule and Bensebaini acting as wing-backs, the goalkeeper is Kobel while the two players who spread out to operate on the lanes are Ryerson, who we saw greatly improved last year and also a key element of a Norway that hurt us a lot last week, and Svensson who operates on the left.

In the middle of the field there is Sabitzer, an attacking midfielder who can drop back to operate in the control room; to keep him company we are counting on Nmecha, this also tells us that in the advanced department there will be space Brandt who is one of the certainties of this Borussia Dortmund, Adeyemi plays in a "free" position who can also pinch the left lane but will also have the task of watching the goal, the goals however will be asked of Guirassy who in his first season in yellow and black has done very well, especially guaranteeing crazy numbers in the Champions League.
