Fluminense 🇧🇷

The Tricolor is in the World Cup thanks to their 2023 Libertadores win.

And they arrive at a good moment for the tournament, mainly due to their positive campaign in the Brasileirão.

Renato Gaúcho recommended signing Soteldo, but the Venezuelan winger got injured and will miss the group stage.

Keno is fit to play again. The same goes for Canobbio, who will start.

Cano has recovered from injury but will start on the bench.

Everaldo, who is in a bad phase, remains among the starting eleven.

The midfield lineup also intrigued the Tricolor fans, since Ganso is no longer an undisputed starter. He remains as an option.

The left back will be Renê, who is more defensive.

Borussia Dortmund 🇩🇪

BVB secured their place in the World Cup thanks to their performance in the Champions League between 2021 and 2024 via the European ranking.

With the limit of two spots per country (excluding continental champions), Dortmund was only behind Bayern.

The spot was secured with Leipzig's elimination in the round of 16 of the 2023/2024 Champions League – BVB would go on to be finalists and runners-up.

One of their strengths is the work developed since the arrival of Niko Kovac.

He took over Dortmund in January with a tough mission: to secure a spot in the 2025/2026 Champions League. Which was achieved.

But they lost important players along the way. Such was the case of defender Nico Schlotterbeck, who suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee back in April.

Ozcän has a knee injury and captain Emre Cam also missed the World Cup due to muscle problems.

Guirassy is the one likely to torment the Tricolor defense.

After a great season with Stuttgart, he was even better at the start of his time at BVB: 34 goals and seven assists in 45 games. He was also the Champions League top scorer alongside Raphinha.
