Dortmund vs St. Pauli Prediction & Betting Tips (18 October)

Although they are playing a rather pleasant game at the start of the season, this Guingamp team is ultimately quite difficult to pin down. Coming under the orders of Sylvain Ripoll this summer who replaced Stéphane Dumont on the bench, the En Avant is apparently capable of the best and the worst. Hanging at home by Annecy 2-2, the Bretons then suffered against Paris FC 2-0 before delivering a very good performance to defeat Caen 3-1. On the other hand, during the last day, the Costarmoricans came through completely, particularly on the defensive level, on the Clermont field 4-1. As a result, they fell to 7th position in the ranking, 3 units from the podium. Pau, for its part, does not really have to be ashamed of its start to the season although it seems to suffer from the same ills as its opponent in the day, namely a fairly chronic irregularity.

The latest results of the Nouste Camp residents also seem to validate this theory since they won their last matches at home against Martigues 3-0 and Lorient 1-0. But they missed their subject on the road, first at Dunkirk 3-2 then against Laval then 3-1. Before the international break, their planned meeting against Bastia was postponed due to strikes at Corsican airports. In the standings, the Béarnais are in 11th place, 2 units behind their opponent of the day but with one game in hand.

On the Guingamp side, the two long-term injured players, full-back Ndour and midfielder Phiri , will not be able to return this weekend. The two important central defenders Gomis and Nair were also added to this list. Finally, the master player of this team, Amine Hemia (4 goals), will be suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards. The young Picard (1 goal) will therefore have to take the game into his own hands. Fortunately for the Bretons, the interesting Siwé (4 goals) is operational as is the supersub Luvambo (3 goals). Against Clermont, it was the twirling Sagna who was able to save the honor.

On the Pau side, the replacements Obiang and Gomes is on the floor. In addition to this, the starting left side Gaspar, who should have been suspended during the reception in Bastia, will finally be sanctioned during this trip to Roudourou. A priori, the point of the Pau attack should be occupied by the experienced scorer Boutaïb who is the most decisive player of this team with 3 goals. The Guingampais will also have to be wary of the interesting Bobichon (2 goals, 2 assists).
