Stats, data, info – all you need to know about BVB v St. Pauli | OneFootball

If it weren't for the all-dominant FC Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund could compete for the championship. With only one defeat, BVB ended the first half of the season. Nevertheless, the gap to the industry leader is an almost insurmountable eleven points. At the start of the second half of the season, FC St. Pauli will visit Signal Iduna Park on Saturday (January 17, 3:30 PM).

In the Bundesliga, Dortmund and St. Pauli have faced each other 19 times so far. The Kiez club has only won twice, while the Black and Yellows have won 13 encounters. In four matches, the clubs shared the points. The goal difference is clearly in favor of Borussia at 40:18.

The last Bundesliga victory for the Hamburg team dates back to the 1989/90 season when they won 2-1 at their home Millerntor. Since then, the Kiez club has only managed two draws in 13 games against BVB. The negative streak was only interrupted by a 2-1 win in the round of 16 of the DFB-Pokal 2021/22, when even a goal by Erling Haaland couldn't prevent the surprising exit.

Many decades ago, there were four matches in the 2. Bundesliga Nord. In the 1974/75 and 1975/76 seasons, BVB won three times, and one match ended in a draw. The goal difference is 15:5.

Red for Mane turns the game

The match from the first half of the current season ended dramatically. Dortmund seemed securely in the lead with 3-1. But after a red card for Filippo Mane in the 85th minute, St. Pauli, with a numerical advantage, caught up and equalized to 3-3.

After three rounds, both teams had seven points. However, their paths diverged afterward. Borussia settled in the top group, while the Kiez club took the league elevator in the opposite direction and plunged into the relegation zone. With one game in hand, Hamburg has reached the second-to-last place.

The offensive weakness of the Brown-Whites is particularly striking. With just 14 goals (0.88 per game), they have the weakest attack in the league. The top scorer is Andréas Hountondji with four goals. However, the center forward will be out for a longer period due to a hairline fracture in his foot.

The away record is unlikely to give St. Pauli much confidence either. In nine games, the Boys in Brown have only celebrated one away victory – and that was a 2-0 win against Hamburger SV.
