Borussia Dortmund vs St. Pauli Prediction

Borussia Dortmund Form

Borussia Dortmund are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Bochum by 4-2, before beating Celtic by 7-1. The winning streak came to an end against Union Berlin, who ran out 2-1 winners. Borussia Dortmund have been in potent form at Signal Iduna Park, winning no less than five of the past six Bundesliga matches here. They remained without defeat, as they drew once, hammered in 20 goals while letting in six.

While a title challenge may be a bit of a stretch, Borussia Dortmund look a solid bet for a top three finish at the end of the season.

St. Pauli Form

In their last three matches, St. Pauli drew 0-0 with RB Leipzig, won 0-3 against Freiburg, and lost 0-3 against Mainz 05. St. Pauli managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Bundesliga. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring ten time and letting in seven.

A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Borussia Dortmund a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.

Anything but a home win for Borussia Dortmund will be a massive surprise, and with goals flowing freely St. Pauli could be in for a hammering.

Borussia Dortmund took four points from their last two encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Bundesliga table. This amounts to one wins after scoring four times and conceding two. Borussia Dortmund claimed three wins, one draw as well as two defeats in the Bundesliga this season. St. Pauli have a record of one win, one draw and four defeats in the Bundesliga.
