Game Preview
The Millionaires present some of the biggest oscillations in the top five European leagues. They’ve opened the season well, but a 5-1 loss in Stuttgart and a 2-1 loss to Union in Berlin messed up all our positive impressions of them.
Still, when playing at home, they are ruthless. Dortmund won all four games at Signal Iduna, netting at least twice in each, and in total, scoring 17 goals. A win over Celtic in the Champions League, 7-1, was their last triumph here.
As for St. Pauli, only four points won in the league is enough for them to be near the bottom of the Bundesliga standings. The sole victory was on the road in Freiburg, 0-3, but other than that, this team showed nothing.
Four of six Bundesliga fixtures St. Pauli played saw them failing to score. If you want to survive in the top tier, this must be fixed. How? We don’t quite know, and that’s on head coach Alexander Blessin to find out.
Dortmund vs. St. Pauli Head to Head
The previous meeting between the two teams was in the 2022 German Cup when St. Pauli won 2-1 and eliminated Dortmund.
Dortmund vs. St. Pauli Prediction
Dortmund is relentless at home, and our pick here is for them to win. Those who want to take risks and profit more go with Dortmund, covering a 1.5-goal spread.
