Fluminense will rely on experience at the back with Thiago Silva partnering Juan Freytes, and Thiago Santos anchoring the midfield. Nonato and Matheus Martinelli are set to provide energy in midfield, while Everaldo leads the line, flanked by Jhon Arias and Kevin Serna.

Borussia Dortmund are missing Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck due to injury, so Niklas Sule, Waldemar Anton, and Ramy Bensebaini should form a back three. Marcel Sabitzer and Felix Nmecha are likely to anchor midfield, with Julian Brandt and Karim Adeyemi supporting striker Serhou Guirassy up front.

Fluminense are unbeaten in six and have found their scoring touch, but Dortmund’s firepower and recent surge under Niko Kovac give them the edge. Expect Fluminense to threaten on the break, especially through Arias, but Dortmund’s attacking depth should see them through in a high-scoring affair.

Prediction: Fluminense 2-3 Borussia Dortmund
