Player to watch
Jobe Bellingham, BVB — There are still many expectations around Jobe Bellingham after he joined Borussia Dortmund from Sunderland this summer and especially after he scored his first goal with the German club against Mamelodi, showing that he might be one of the next stars after the Club World Cup where he made his debut with his new team.
Storyline to watch
Can Ulsan avoid three defeats? After losing the opening two games of the tournament, South Korea’s Ulsan HD want to avoid a third defeat. However, they averaged 31% possession and were outshot 39 to 19, and Ulsan have completed only 492 passes combined across two games, which is fewer than what Mamelodi Sundowns (659) and Fluminense (589) each managed in a single match against them.
Prediction
Borussia Dortmund are expected to win and qualify for the next round, and even a defeat against the South Korean side can secure them a spot. Pick: BVB 2, Ulsan HD 0.
