Borussia Dortmund vs Ulsan HD Tips, Predictions and Bet Builder

Borussia Dortmund could still qualify for the round of 16 even if they lose their final Group F match against Ulsan HD, but the Bundesliga team won't want to take any chances and should be capable of taking care of business when they meet the South Korean side.

Der BVB shared the spoils with chief group rivals Fluminense in a goalless opening game before beating Mamelodi Sundowns 4-3. 

Ulsan lost 1-0 to the South African side in their first match before going down 4-2 to the South American team, which means even an upset victory by the 12/1 underdogs at the TQL Stadium in Cincinnati would not be enough to see them advance to the next round.

Borussia Dortmund vs Ulsan HD Prediction

Best Bet: Borussia Dortmund & over 3.5 goals @ 7/5

Borussia Dortmund finished the European season in fine form and they have carried that over to the Club World Cup.

There is still work to be done for them to qualify, but it would be hugely disappointing for manager Niko Kovac if his side doesn't get the job done against South Korean side Ulsan, who are already out after suffering two defeats.

Indeed, Dortmund should be looking to boost their goal difference in this match as that would decide the group winners if Fluminense beat Mamelodi Sundowns in the other game.

Kovac has done a fine job since taking over at the Bundesliga club in February, steering them to fourth place in the league, and the draw against the Brazilians at the MetLife Stadium last week was the only time they have been denied victory in their last eight fixtures.

Ulsan are the weakest team in the group but they have shown some potential going forward and took a 2-1 lead into half-time against Fluminense, so they may be capable of contributing to the goal tally in a high-scoring game in Cincinnati.

Phil Agius explains:

Dortmund are going well and they should secure the result they need in what could be an entertaining group finale in Ohio.

Borussia Dortmund vs Ulsan HD Builder Tip

• Serhou Guirassy to score a goal

• Julian Brandt to assist a goal

• Match Goals Range 4-5 goals

  
  Pays 7/1

Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy was the joint-top scorer in the UEFA Champions League this season with 13 goals and he remains in red-hot form with his goal against Mamelodi Sundowns taking his tally to 10 in his last eight matches.

He looks a solid choice to score against Ulsan and he or a teammate may well be helped by assist king Julian Brandt, who set up Jobe Bellingham's goal in that match and now has five assists in his last five games.

After only one goal was scored in the opening two games in this group, the second round of matches produced seven and six goals.

This contest may not quite reach that level of entertainment but backing a match goal range of four to five goals appeals with a 3-1, 4-0, 4-1 and 3-2 Dortmund wins all looking realistic.

Phil Agius adds:

Dortmund's slick forward line should prove too strong for the South Korean side and Serhou Guirassy looks a great bet to add another goal to his tally.
