St. Pauli enters this fixture under pressure, having lost 2 of their last 3 home matches in the Bundesliga. They struggled at home last season, managing just 10 goals – the lowest in the division – and narrowly avoided the relegation playoff by three points.
To make matters more concerning, St. Pauli have lost 6 of their last 8 matches against Borussia Dortmund and ended last season on a five-game winless streak. Keeping Dortmund’s attacking trio of Serhou Guirassy, Jobe Bellingham, and Julian Brandt quiet will be a difficult task.

Borussia Dortmund come into this campaign full of momentum. After finishing fourth last season and securing Champions League qualification, they now have higher ambitions under Niko Kovac. BVB ended last term with five straight Bundesliga wins, scoring 17 goals and collecting more points (22) in their final 10 games than any other side.
Their Club World Cup performances further underlined their form, and with a fully fit squad, Dortmund will expect to start the season strongly against weaker opposition.
MatchPlug Prediction For St. Pauli vs Borussia Dortmund
Considering Borussia Dortmund’s strong finish to last season, their superior head-to-head record, and St. Pauli’s struggles at home, the visitors are clear favorites.
With their attacking firepower and greater consistency, Dortmund should have too much quality for St. Pauli to handle.
Final Prediction: Borussia Dortmund to win
