What speaks for FC St. Pauli vs Borussia Dortmund in the betting tip?

If we disregard the small embarrassment in the test against Drochtersen (0:1), we can attest to FC St. Pauli's good preparation in our betting tips today. After all, the Kiez kickers defeated Verona (1:0) and OGC Nice (4:1) and fought out a 2:2 draw against Coventry City. However, FC St. Pauli only progressed in the first round of the DFB Cup in a penalty shoot-out against the blatant outsiders Norderstedt. To speak of a successful dress rehearsal for the Bundesliga would probably be an exaggeration.

FC St. Pauli's offense was in dire straits

With a three-point lead over 1. FC Heidenheim, who finished third from bottom, the promoted team managed to avoid relegation in the 2024/25 season. That alone could certainly be seen as a success. However, there was also a flaw, and we found it in the offense in these football predictions. Because the 28 goals scored meant the most harmless forward line in the entire 1st Bundesliga. In addition, only 69 goals were scored in the Paulians' matches, an average of almost exactly two goals per match.

FC St. Pauli

System: 4-2-3-1.

How good is Borussia Dortmund's current form?

BVB also had a lot of trouble in the cup. The Black & Yellows were only in action on Monday evening at Rot-Weiss Essen, where they only reached the next round with a narrow 1:0. Before that, they had also lost their last tough test against Juventus Turin 2:1. However, this was also offset by a 3:2 win against OGC Lille. In this respect, Borussia Dortmund can be reasonably satisfied with their preparations. Meanwhile, the Westphalians lost in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup 2025 to Real Madrid (2:3).

Our prediction for FC St. Pauli vs Borussia Dortmund

For us, the matter is clear this time in the expert tips. BVB will win their first match on Saturday evening, as Borussia have already won seven of nine visits to the Millerntor in the Bundesliga. And FC St. Pauli were the weakest team offensively in 2024/25 and only managed three home wins. Even better odds than the Away Win 2 promise the Bet 2 Win To Nil, i.e. a three-goal win for Dortmund without conceding a goal. This already came true last season and you can also play on it with a higher risk.
