THE PREDICTION
A 1-1 draw for Hamburger SV at home to Dynamo Dresden leaves them on four points after their opening two games of the season. They travel to St. Pauli, who have also drawn one and won one of their two league matches played so far. However, St. Pauli have the edge from a defensive perspective, having not conceded a goal in the 2. Bundesliga whilst Hamburg have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their two league fixtures. Provided that the hosts’ backline maintains its solidarity in this match and their attacking players show a high level of cutting edge in front of goal, then St. Pauli should edge out Tim Walter’s side in this one.
