Prediction:
Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 3-1 in favor of Borussia Dortmund.
Dortmund's high press will target St. Pauli's weak build-up. St. Pauli may sit deep and counter, exploiting Dortmund's high line. Home crowd boosts BVB intensity.
Dortmund's superior form, home record, and offensive output outweigh St. Pauli's resilience seen in H2H draw. Expect BVB control but potential for goals both ways.
