FC St. Pauli vs Borussia Dortmund

FC St. Pauli won their last home game against Borussia Dortmund, a 2-1 victory in the round of 16 of the DFB-Pokal in January 2022. However, that is the Kiezkicker’s only victory from their last 13 competitive meetings with BVB (D1, L11).

FC St. Pauli have lost three straight Bundesliga games for the first time since the start of this season, while they have also failed to score in three consecutive top-flight matches for the first time since February/March 2011. The Kiezkicker have drawn a blank 13 times this season (league high) and scored only 18 goals (league low).

Borussia Dortmund’s 6-0 victory over Union Berlin was their first Bundesliga win under Niko Kovac, coming in his third game in charge. Kovac ended his personal 13-game winless run in the league and could now guide BVB to back-to-back victories in the Bundesliga for the first time this season.

Only 1. FC Heidenheim (7) have claimed fewer points at home in the Bundesliga this season than FC St. Pauli (9), while no side has scored as few home goals as the Kiezkicker (7; 0.6 per game on average), who have drawn a blank in eight of their 11 home games. Borussia Dortmund have collected only eight points on their travels – only Kiel and Bochum have been worse on the road in 2024/25 (3 points each).

St. Pauli allow their opponents an average of 15.9 passes outside of their own defensive third before engaging in a defensive action, a league high. Only FC Bayern (9.7) have a lower PPDA than Borussia Dortmund (11.2).
