Mamelodi Sundowns are in action in a match that kicks off at midnight on Tuesday in South Africa and we take a look at the 4 FIFA World Club Championship matches taking place on Tuesday night and the early hours of the morning South African time.
Game 11 – Group F
Fluminense (Brazil) vs Borussia Dortmund (Germany)
Kick-off: 17 June at 18:00
Venue: Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, Nevada
Fluminense bring samba-styled possession play, led by veteran defender Thiago Silva who is now 40 years old. Dortmund counter with young talent Jobe Bellingham (19), who recently joined the squad ahead of the tournament. Expect a tense tactical battle.

Fluminense – 6.00
Draw – 4.50
Borussia Dortmund – 1.57
I think Dortmund have too much class across the park and that they will win this by more than a goal.

River Plate – 1.62
Draw – 4.00
Urawa Red Diamonds – 6.00
I expect a River Plate win but the Red Diamonds may prove tough to break down and I am betting they win but with 2 goals or less in the match.

Ulsan HD FC (South Korea) vs Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa)
Kick-off: 18 June at 00:00

Ulsan HD FC bring balanced and technical play from South Korea. Sundowns, South Africa’s dominant team, are known for possession-based football and smart tactical discipline and they will be looking to their 35 year old captain, midfielder Themba Zwane for inspiration.

Ulsan HD FC – 3.00

CF Monterrey (Mexico) vs Inter Milan (Italy)
Kick-off: 18 June at 03:00

Monterrey arrive with Liga MX’s direct style and intensity. Inter Milan bring Italian organisation and star power, entering as one of the most experienced teams in the field. They will be captained by 27 year Lautaro Martinez from Argentina.
