Match 25 – Group F
Mamelodi Sundowns vs Borussia Dortmund
Kick-off: 21 June at 18:00 SAST
Venue: TQL Stadium, Cincinnati
Sundowns top the group after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Ulsan where they scored what proved to be the winner in the 36th minute. A second victory would seal progression. Dortmund were held to a goalless draw by Fluminense in their opener and will need three points here to stay in control of their own destiny.

Sundowns – 8.00
Draw – 5.50
Dortmund – 1.37
I think the bookmakers are underestimating the South African giants and I am backing them to grab a vital point.
Bet: The draw at 5.50
Match 26 – Group E
Inter Milan vs Urawa Red Diamonds
Kick-off: 21 June at 21:00 SAST
Venue: Lumen Field, Seattle
Inter Milan shared the points with Monterrey in their first fixture where they had to come from behind to grab a point. They will look to take control of Group E with a win. Urawa need a big turnaround after their 3-1 loss to River Plate, and a defeat here would see them eliminated.

Inter Milan – 1.18
Draw – 7.50
Urawa Red Diamonds – 15.00
This should be a straight forward Inter Milan win and I ma backing them to win by 3 goals or more.
Bet: Handicap, Inter Milan -2.5 at 2.35

Match 27 – Group F
Fluminense vs Ulsan HD
Kick-off: 22 June at 00:00 SAST
Venue: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford
Both teams are still searching for their first win. Fluminense looked composed in their 0-0 draw with Dortmund, while Ulsan lost narrowly to Sundowns. This clash could well decide who stays in the hunt for second place in the group.
Betting – click here to bet
Fluminense – 1.35
Draw – 5.50
Ulsan HD – 9.50
I am expecting this to be a tight and low scoring game.
Bet: Under 2.5 goals at 2.00
Match 28 – Group E
River Plate vs CF Monterrey
Kick-off: 22 June at 03:00 SAST
Venue: Rose Bowl, Pasadena
River Plate began their campaign with a strong 3-1 win over Urawa, while Monterrey drew with Inter. The Argentinians will secure a knockout spot with another win, but Monterrey can leapfrog them with an upset here.
Betting – click here to bet
River Plate – 2.10
Draw – 3.50
CF Monterrey – 3.60
River Plate may be top of the table but I was more impressed with Monterrey in holding Inter Milan to a 1-1 draw and I am predicting a minor upset here.
Bet: CF Monterrey win at 3.60
