St. Pauli vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
St. Pauli Form
In their last three matches, St. Pauli lost 0-1 against VfB Stuttgart, drew 2-2 with Eintracht Frankfurt, before losing to Bochum by 0-2. St. Pauli just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Bundesliga matches at the Millerntor Stadion. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored three and conceded seven goals.
Borussia Dortmund Form
The results have been up and down for Borussia Dortmund, who beat Monterrey by 2-1. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 3-2 against Real Madrid, before claiming a victory in a 0-1 game against RW Essen. Borussia Dortmund claimed 13 points in their last six Bundesliga matches, winning four, drawing once as well as losing once. They conceded nine and scored 15 goals themselves.
In current form, we favour Borussia Dortmund to claim a win, when they challenge St. Pauli at Millerntor Stadion. We doubt, the home side is able to stop the visitors.
