With four wins, one draw and two defeats, Dortmund are still looking for the right balance between offense and defense. St. Pauli, on the other hand, is fighting for their survival and has only managed one win in its first six games. But they can make life difficult for the favorites. Dortmund can still shine in attack. With players who are able to score goals out of nowhere, the team remains extremely dangerous. As the game against Union Berlin showed, offensive power alone is not enough. Dortmund's defense must stabilize if they want to stay at the top in the long term. St. Pauli got off to a very bad start. With only 4 points from the first six games, St. Pauli is currently in a worrying 15th place in the table. The guests were able to impress defensively in the goalless draw against Leipzig, but they are currently lacking offensive power. One bright spot was the surprising 3-0 win in Freiburg on the 5th matchday, which gave hope for something more. Those hopes were washed again in the next home game against Mainz with a clear 0-3 defeat.
