Our Tips

Friday night football at Signal Iduna Park promises an intriguing matchup as Borussia Dortmund take on St. Pauli in what could be a goal-laden contest. While Dortmund sit comfortably higher in the Bundesliga table, St. Pauli’s form has been nothing short of worrying. Dortmund have gathered ten points from their first six games, currently placing them seventh, while St. Pauli languish near the bottom with just four points in their account. Both teams will be desperate to improve their standings, but with such a contrast in form and firepower, can the visitors really stand up to a rampant Dortmund attack?

With the home side having enjoyed five wins in their last six matches at Signal Iduna Park, it’s hard to see anything other than a home victory. But the real question is, just how many goals will Dortmund put past St. Pauli? The hosts’ recent goal-scoring exploits have left fans excited for more, and it’s difficult to see the visitors keeping them at bay for long.

Best Bet: Over 3.5 Goals

Looking at how this game is shaping up, it’s impossible not to expect goals—and plenty of them. Betting on over 3.5 goals looks like a strong choice. Dortmund have averaged a remarkable 2.2 goals per game in their last ten outings, with 22 goals scored over that period. Defensively, they’ve been a bit shaky, allowing 1.9 goals per game, so there’s potential for St. Pauli to grab a consolation goal as well. However, Dortmund’s strength at home, combined with St. Pauli’s frailties, suggests this match could easily hit four or more goals.

St. Pauli, on the other hand, have shipped 24 goals in their last ten games. That is an alarming figure, particularly when going up against a side as potent as Dortmund. St. Pauli’s defensive struggles will likely be exploited ruthlessly by players like Karim Adeyemi, who has already been involved in several of Dortmund’s recent scoring blitzes.

“Given Dortmund’s attacking prowess and St. Pauli’s tendency to crumble defensively, this is shaping up to be a high-scoring affair. Expect goals from both sides, but most of them will come from the hosts.” BettingTips4You.com expert Wolfgang Shotten confidently predicts.

In their last three home matches alone, Dortmund have hit a staggering 20 goals, and if they carry that form into this game, St. Pauli could be looking at a repeat of the kind of hammering they’ve endured in recent weeks. St. Pauli have lost eight of their last ten away matches in the Bundesliga and have struggled to score, averaging less than 1.5 goals per game. The fact that St. Pauli also tend to concede heavily away from home makes this bet even more appealing.

Additionally, Dortmund have an excellent recent record against St. Pauli, winning both previous meetings, including a 3-1 victory. Based on this history and current form, a similar, if not heavier, margin of victory could well be on the cards.

Correct Score Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 4-1 St. Pauli

Backing a 4-1 scoreline for this clash might sound ambitious, but it aligns perfectly with both the best bet of over 3.5 goals and the teams’ current trends. Dortmund’s attack has been relentless, and with St. Pauli conceding at such an alarming rate, it’s hard to see anything but a heavy scoreline in favour of the home side.

While Dortmund have been known to let a goal slip in—conceding 19 in their last ten games—St. Pauli’s attack isn’t completely toothless. Elias Saad, who has been a rare bright spot for the visitors, may well find the back of the net. That said, Dortmund’s sheer attacking firepower should see them comfortably clear, and a 4-1 result seems a likely outcome.

The BettingTips4You.com Expert Rating gives Dortmund’s attack a strong edge, with Adeyemi and Guirassy in particularly good form. The visitors’ defensive woes, coupled with Dortmund’s habit of scoring big at home, make this prediction feel like a solid call.
