Dortmund are showing quite good form after finishing the group stage at the top of Group F. Although coach Niko Kovac's team had a bit of a struggle when they won a thrilling 4-3 victory over Mamelodi Sundowns and a minimal 1-0 victory over Ulsan Hyundai.

Dortmund's solidity and bravery are demonstrated through a 10-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. Although their playing style has not really exploded, Monterrey's experience and squad depth are things that cannot be compared.

On the other side of the front line, Monterrey had an emotional group stage journey. Placed in a difficult group with Inter Milan and River Plate, they played with great spirit and squeezed through the narrow door thanks to a devastating 4-0 victory over Urawa Red Diamonds in the final match.

The Mexican team's biggest support is none other than center-back Sergio Ramos. The former Real Madrid captain's experience at the top level is the key factor helping Monterrey's defense stand firm against big opponents.

However, Ramos alone is not enough to make up for the difference in class between the two teams. Facing Dortmund's quality attack will be the toughest test for the defense led by Ramos.

However, the bookies offer quite safe odds when Dortmund only concedes 0.75 goals for the whole match (0.25 in the first half). Meanwhile, the over/under is 3 goals for the whole match (1.25 in the first half).

Most experts are leaning towards a victory for Dortmund. In all aspects, from squad quality, top-level experience to current form, the Bundesliga representative is superior.

Experts predict a match where Dortmund will control the ball and create constant pressure, while Monterrey will have to struggle to defend.

Although they will have some difficulty against Monterrey's disciplined defense, the class of the stars in attack will help Dortmund win the final and advance to the quarterfinals.

Expected lineup:

Dortmund: Kobel; Ryerson, Anton, Bensebaini, Couto; Sabitzer, Nmecha; Adeyemi, Bellingham, Svensson; Guirassy.

Monterrey: Andrada; Medina, Ramos, Chavez, Arteaga; Deossa, Rodriguez, Torres; Corona, Berterame, Alvarado.

Prediction: Dortmund 2-1 Monterrey.
