Dynamo Dresden form and stats

Dresden have not come this way in the DFB Pokal without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Paderborn. Last season, Dresden's DFB Pokal journey ended in the 2nd round.

3-0-2 (win-draw-lost) are the 2. Bundesliga numbers at home for Dynamo Dresden so far this season. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Dresden to get some points in this home game.

M. Schroter was the last player to score a league goal for Dresden and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Dynamo Dresden haven't scored in 285 minutes.

The fans are hoping that Dresden will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the 2. Bundesliga game against Schalke 04. The forward Morris Schröter outshone all others in that match and received a match rating of 7.42 out of 10. Schröter hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.

Ahead of that match, Dresden lost 0-1 at home to Nurnberg.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Sandhausen are coming to town in three days.

The Dynamo Dresden fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 8 goals in 5 league matches. Dynamo Dresden are not conceding a lot of goals here at Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.

St. Pauli form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated Magdeburg in order to reach 2nd round of DFB Pokal. Pauli's mission in DFB Pokal last season failed in the 1st round.

Playing away, St. Pauli have won 2 games, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the 2. Bundesliga this season. Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus Dynamo Dresden.

Pauli won their last game, 4-0 versus Hansa Rostock played at home. As mentioned above, Pauli was the only team on the pitch versus Hansa Rostock in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task. Midfield player Marcel Hartel was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.1/10. Hartel served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 49 successful passes (of 54 total).

Preceding that game was the away 2. Bundesliga victory against Heidenheim with the score of 4-2.

Pauli have another game away in just three nights, a 2. Bundesliga match against Werder Bremen. A grim diary for them!

The travelling fans enjoy Pauli's attacking play in away games, having scored 8 goals in 5 league matches away. 7 goals have been conceded by Pauli in these games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two Dresden victories, four draws and four St. Pauli wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
