Borussia Dortmund and FC St. Pauli meet on Saturday in a Bundesliga matchup that pairs a title chaser with a side fighting to stay out of trouble. Dortmund sit second in the table after 17 matches with 36 points, and their recent league results have kept them firmly in the Champions League places even if they have not been flawless week to week.
The latest league outing was a confident 3-0 home win over Werder Bremen, a result that mattered because it steadied them after a more chaotic 3-3 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt. Even in matches where Dortmund have dropped points, they have largely remained the team controlling territory and creating the better volume of chances, which is why they have stayed high in the standings.
St. Pauli, by contrast, have spent much of the season in the lower part of the table and have been living through the narrow margins that define relegation battles. They come into this one off a 2-1 defeat at Wolfsburg, and that scoreline fits a broader pattern: St. Pauli can stay competitive, but turning performances into points has been a constant challenge.
When they do pick up results, it is often because they keep the match tight and avoid conceding early, but chasing games has been harder for them, particularly away from home where controlling momentum is tougher.

Our Borussia Dortmund vs St. Pauli Prediction
Dortmund have multiple routes to goals, with Serhou Guirassy leading their overall scoring across competitions, including six league goals and ten in all competitions so far. Maximilian Beier is also tied among the club's top league scorers with five Bundesliga goals, offering another consistent end product. In a game like this, Dortmund's advantage is not just the number of chances they can create, but the fact they have more than one reliable finisher to turn those chances into goals.
For St. Pauli, the individual numbers are smaller, which is typical for a team sitting near the bottom, but there are still clear focal points. Andréas Hountondji is their leading league scorer with four goals, and those contributions are significant because so many of St. Pauli's matches have been decided by one moment. If St. Pauli are to threaten here, they will likely need to be efficient when opportunities arrive and then keep the scoreline close long enough for the pressure to shift onto the home side.
With Dortmund's stronger league position, recent clean-sheet win, and deeper set of proven scorers, they look the more likely winner. St. Pauli can make it uncomfortable if they stay compact and avoid early damage, but Dortmund should have enough control and finishing to edge it. Our prediction for Borussia Dortmund vs. FC St. Pauli: Under 3.5 goals.
