Borussia Dortmund dey prepare to host St. Pauli for Friday night Bundesliga match, and dem dey look to keep their impressive home record intact. Dortmund no lose any league match at home on Friday for over 20 years, with their last loss being against Schalke 04 in January 2004.
Dortmund don win all their three home matches this season, including victories against Eintracht Frankfurt, Heidenheim, and Bochum. However, dem no impress fans with their performances as much as dem had hoped. For this match, Dortmund go miss Yan Couto, Giovanni Reyna, Karim Adeyemi, and Julien Duranville due to injuries. Niklas Süle, Julian Ryerson, and Maximilian Beier also dey face fitness issues, but Nuri Şahin confirm say Serhou Guirassy go start for BVB.
On the other hand, St. Pauli don struggle since dem return to Bundesliga. Dem lose their head coach Fabian Hürzeler to Brighton and Hove Albion and start their campaign with three successive defeats. Though dem manage to get a 0-0 draw against RB Leipzig and win 3-0 against Freiburg, dem still dey struggle. Dem last match against Mainz 05 end in 3-0 defeat. Elias Saad, who get four goal contributions this season, go miss this match due to ligament injury.
Predictions dey suggest say Borussia Dortmund go win this match narrowly. The Hard Tackle predict 1-0 victory for Dortmund, citing their home advantage and quality over St. Pauli’s defensive solidity but lack of goalscoring prowess. Other predictions also suggest a win for Dortmund, possibly with a margin of two to three goals, given their home form and St. Pauli’s defensive issues.
