As Borussia Dortmund aim to book their place in the last 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup, they face South Korea’s Ulsan Hyundai in a match filled with narrative, momentum and vulnerability. With the stakes high and styles contrasting, we’ve built a four-leg Bet Builder featuring selections that capture the essence of both sides. This is not just a speculative flutter—it’s a well-informed pick rooted in form, team tendencies, and tactical patterns.
Here’s our Bet Builder pick for Borussia Dortmund vs Ulsan HD, which has been placed with William Hill:
18+. Play Safe. From 00:01 on 18.10.2022. £30 bonus. New customers only. Minimum £10 stake on odds of 1/2 (1.5) or greater on sportsbook (excluding Virtual markets). Further terms apply. #Ad. 18+Only, gambleaware.org |
📌 Bet 1: Both Teams to Score
Despite being heavy underdogs, Ulsan Hyundai have found the net in both of their group stage games—against Fluminense and Mamelodi Sundowns. Even with no points to show, their commitment to attack remains intact, and with nothing to lose, they will likely take risks again in this final group outing.
Borussia Dortmund, for all their attacking talent, have been incredibly porous at the back. They conceded three goals in a single match to Sundowns, and their clean sheet against Fluminense came more through luck than structure. Across their last 10 matches in all competitions, Dortmund have shipped 16 goals, many of them due to poor positioning and lapses in concentration.
Ulsan may not dominate possession, but with counter-attacking weapons like Erick Farias and potentially Matias Lacava starting, they will have chances. Dortmund should win this match, but given their fragility in defence, expecting a clean sheet feels overly optimistic.

📌 Bet 2: Serhou Guirassy to Score Anytime
Serhou Guirassy has settled into his role at Dortmund with assurance, bringing pace, power and precision to the final third. In this tournament, he’s already looked sharp and remains their key figurehead in attack. With Jobe Bellingham expected to provide creativity just behind him, Guirassy should receive ample service.
Ulsan have conceded seven goals in two Club World Cup games, with defensive positioning proving a major issue. Their central pairing of Kim Young-Gwon and Woo-Young Jung has struggled to deal with runners in behind and aerial threats—two areas where Guirassy thrives.
Dortmund are expected to control territory and tempo throughout the match, which means Guirassy should have both volume and quality of chances. With so much at stake, manager Niko Kovac will likely field his strongest attacking line-up—and Guirassy remains the sharpest point of that spear.

20/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Dortmund’s leaky defence and Ulsan’s willingness to attack despite defeat suggest both teams can find the net. Guirassy remains Dortmund’s most clinical option. Both sides are aggressive and likely to commit fouls, while Dortmund’s wing-focused attacks and Ulsan’s reactive style should produce a flurry of corners.
|
📌 Bet 3: Over 10 Total Corners
Dortmund favour wide attacks, often using overlapping full-backs and midfield runners to stretch the game horizontally. This naturally lends itself to frequent corner kicks. In their match against Sundowns, Dortmund earned seven corners themselves—and conceded five. The numbers back up what the eyes already see: end-to-end chaos and transitions.
Ulsan also favour wide outlets, particularly when chasing a game, and have the legs to force defenders into blocks and deflections. Given the attacking profile of both teams, and Dortmund’s tendency to build patiently only to reset and go again, the corner count could climb quickly.
Add in Ulsan’s probable defensive shell—forcing Dortmund to probe repeatedly down the wings—and there’s every chance we see the corner tally exceed double figures. Both sides will contribute, either through pressure or counter-punches.
📌 Bet 4: Each Team Over 1 Card
Tension will run high at TQL Stadium, with Dortmund needing at least a point to ensure progression, and Ulsan playing for pride and regional reputation. That cocktail tends to produce physical contests—and fouls.
Dortmund aren’t afraid to get stuck in. Players like Felix Nmecha and Pascal Gross operate on the edge, frequently making tactical fouls when transitions break down. On the other hand, Ulsan’s midfield trio of Seung-beom Ko, Darijan Bojanic, and Jin-hyun Lee are no strangers to picking up bookings when overrun or chasing play.
Ulsan’s frustration in defence was evident against Fluminense, where they conceded three second-half goals and began to resort to rougher tactics. With pacey Dortmund attackers like Bellingham and Brandt driving at them, more last-ditch challenges are expected. A minimum of two bookings per team is well within reason, especially with tired legs and stakes adding to the pressure.
Expect plenty of attacking action and thus a busy corner flag throughout the evening.
