Bundesliga 1
St. Pauli secured their stay in the Bundesliga last season and will now again aim to maintain their elite status. The start comes against Borussia Dortmund at home.
Both struggling in the cup
St. Pauli advanced after a goalless draw and penalty shootout, while Borussia barely beat Rot-Weiss Essen 1-0 away. Overall, it is not clear what to expect from the "yellow-blacks", who were very weak last season but somehow managed to reach the top 4 at the last moment. During the summer, the only significant incoming transfer was Jude Bellingham's brother, Joe, while the star Binoa-Gitens was sold for a very serious amount. I am not convinced that Nico Kovac will be able to make this team competitive again, but maybe the trickster will pleasantly surprise me.
Bet on under 3.5 goals
As for the prediction here, St. Pauli was very cautious in their approach throughout last season and I do not expect Alexander Blesin to change his style in any way.
