Most recent H2Hs: Teams preparing for first encounter
Borussia Dortmund and Ulsan have never met before and their tussle in Cincinnati will be the clubs’ first encounter.
Borussia Dortmund preview: Ryerson and Adeyemi could start
Emre Can, Salih Oscan and Nico Schlotterbeck are out of action for Dortmund. The Germans got the job done against Mamelodi Sundowns last time out but failed to impress. Head Coach Niko Kovač could freshen things up against Ulsan with the likes of Marcel Sabitzer, Julian Ryerson and Karim Adeyemi pushing to start.
Predicted lineup: Kobel (GK), Sule, Anton, Bensebaini, Couto, Bellingham, Nmecha, Gross, Ryerson, Adeyemi, Guirassy

Ulsan preview: Defensive formation likely
Ulsan HD led at half time against Fluminense before conceding a flurry of late goals in their last Club World Cup test, which suggests they lack the staying power to compete with their fitter opponents. Ulsan used a defensive 5-3-2 formation in their last outing and should set up similarly here.
Predicted lineup: Jo (GK), Kang, Trojak, Kim, Lee, Ludwig, Lee, Bojanic, Ko, Um, Erick Fari

Player to watch – Jobe Bellingham
Summer signing Jobe Bellingham was handed a first start by new club Dortmund in the German side’s matchday two meeting with Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday and the promising midfielder offered a glimpse of his potential with a solid display.
Bellingham is up and running
Bellingham managed to mark his debut with a first goal for Dortmund on the cusp of half-time in the Germans’ 4-3 win over the Sundowns and already off the mark, the 19-year-old should be ready to kick on against Uisan HD.
