Fluminense vs. Borussia Dortmund Picks

This is a heavyweight clash to kick off the competition in Group F on Tuesday. However, Borussia Dortmund boasts the proven pedigree across the field.

The Germans ended the previous campaign in excellent form, and they have already strengthened during the short transfer window. Despite preferring the Dortmund win, we fully expect Fluminense to reach the knockout round.
