Borussia Dortmund vs Ulsan HD Preview

• Tournament: FIFA Club World Cup
• Date: Wednesday, 25 June 2025
• Kick-Off Time: 19:00 PM GMT
• Venue: TQL Stadium, Ohio

Borussia Dortmund looks to power their way to the knockout rounds of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup when they face off against a dejected Ulsan HD side in their final group stage encounter. The Borussia Dortmund vs Ulsan HD clash will take place on Wednesday evening, in what should be an action-packed encounter.

It's not been the easiest of outings for the Bundesliga giants at the Club World Cup yet, as they've only won one of their two games and picked up 4 points from two games. They are coming off a dramatic 4-3 win over Mamelodi Sundowns in the last and need another win to guarantee their place in the Round of 16. Here's a look at Borussia Dortmund vs Ulsan HD Preview.

Niko Kovac will be aiming to push his players to improve their defensive structure to avoid any surprises against the Asian side. They will look to play some innovative, swift attacking football to thrill the fans and get a big win to end the group stages impressively.

Ulsan HD have had a pretty forgettable outing at the Club World Cup so far, losing both their matches and conceding five goals. They're on a four-game winless streak across all competitions, and aim to end the tournament with an inspired display.

Pan-Gon Kim has to produce a bit of a tactical masterclass for his side to keep the Dortmund players quiet. They must maintain a really sturdy defensive structure to frustrate the German giants and must be clinical in converting their counter-attacks to have any chance of pulling off a surprise in their final Club World Cup game.

Borussia Dortmund Team News

Niko Kovac is missing quite a few important players in the ongoing tournament. He's still without first-team regulars Emre Can (groin) and Nico Schlotterbeck (meniscus). Even midfielder Salih Ozcan is out of action with a knee injury.

Pan-Gon Kim is at least fortunate not to be dealing with any major injury problems in his squad. He will have a fully fit unit available for the game against the German giants, with no player injured or suspended.

Borussia Dortmund vs Ulsan HD Head-to-Head Record

This will be the first-ever meeting between these two sides. They have never played against one another in a competitive match in the past.

Key Players to Watch in Borussia Dortmund vs Ulsan HD

Serhou Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund)

Serhou Guirassy has retained his threat in front of the goal for Borussia Dortmund at the Club World Cup, scoring a goal in two games with a 25% goal conversion rate. He remains an unpredictable figure in the final third who is tricky to mark because of his smart off-the-ball movement.

Guirassy will look to help drive his side forward with his clever link-up play style, but will mostly be tasked to get into the right positions inside the box and finish off chances emphatically to help his side get a high-scoring win.

Won-Sang Um (Ulsan HD)

The 26-year-old striker has been one of the bright points for Ulsan HD in their Club World Cup campaign. He has scored one goal so far in the tournament with a 50% goal conversion rate, proving himself as a decisive figure in the final third. However, Won-Sang will need to be at his ruthless best to inspire his side to a positive result against the German giants. He needs to be smart with his movement to disrupt the Dortmund backline shape and needs to finish off whatever chances he gets perfectly to help Ulsan get a memorable result.

Borussia Dortmund vs Ulsan HD Prediction

Borussia Dortmund have picked up form at the right time, which could mean dire consequences for the Ulsan HD players in this upcoming clash. Even though the South Korean side should put up a diligent fight by working hard, they've been defensively too leaky in the tournament to survive against major teams.

There should be a lot of back-and-forth in this match, but the German giants' attacking firepower should end up being too explosive. Dortmund should get a comfortable win to move into the knockout rounds. Here is a look at our Borussia Dortmund vs Ulsan HD prediction.

Predicted Score: Borussia Dortmund 3-1 Ulsan HD
