Dortmund v Monterrey Preview
Dortmund Form
Dortmund are managed by former Croatian International and Manager Niko Kovač, who took the reins in February following the sacking of Nuri Şahin and a short interim spell of Mike Tullberg. They finished the season strongly, though finishing 4th in the Bundesliga, going unbeaten in their last 8 league games, and also reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League before being eliminated by Barcelona.
The German side are one of the most efficiently run clubs in European Football, generally focusing on purchasing talent under-the-radar talent from across the club, fostering them, and letting them grow before they sell them on for a profit. There is a fine blend of youth and experience in their squad, but the name which will catch the eye was the signing of Jobe Bellingham before the tournament, who will be looking to emulate his brother’s trajectory at the club.
In their opening Club World Cup game, Dortmund were held to a 0-0 draw against Fluminense. That was followed by a 3-4 thriller where they came out on the right side against Mamelodi Sundowns with goals from Nmecha, Guirassy, Jobe and an own-goal. They then concluded the group unbeaten with Svensson giving them a 1-0 win over Ulsan HD.
Under Kovac, Dortmund set themselves up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, focusing on high pressing, quick transitions, and exploiting wide areas with wing-backs. They combine vertical build-up play with numerical superiority in midfield to create overloads and dynamic attacking opportunities.

Monterrey Form
Mexican side Monterrey are managed by Spaniard Domènec Torrent following the removal of former Man City defender Martín Demichelis, who took over the job last summer following a disappointing season in charge where they finished 5th in their Liga MXX Apertura league phase before finishing runners-up, finishing 7th in the Liga MX Clausura before being eliminated in the quarterfinals. Elsewhere, they were limited early in both the League Cup and CONCACAF Champions Cup.
There are fewer names of note in this Monterrey squad for followers of European Football, but you might remember former Real Madrid and Spain defender Sergio Ramos (39)! As well as former Argentinian International Ocampos (30), who had a successful 10+ year period in Europe with the likes of Sevilla and Monaco, and Captain and former Mexican International Moreno (39), who also played for 10+ years in Europe.
In their opening Club World Cup game, they held Inter to a 1-1 draw against Inter and even took the lead in the game. They followed up with a 0-0 draw against River Plate before securing qualification for the knockout stages by winning their final group game 0-4 against Urawa Red Diamonds.
New manager Torrent aligns with a possession-based, vertical style influenced by his time working under Pep Guardiola. The team often overloads the attack with multiple players, including wingers and midfielders, joining the striker in the box.
