DFB-Pokal quarter-finals (including extra time): St. Pauli vs Borussia Dortmund
The two teams have met once before in the German Cup, and back in the second round of the 2014/15 season, Borussia Dortmund won St. Pauli 3-0. Borussia Dortmund eventually went to Wolfsburg 0-3 in that year's final. Compared to defending champions Borussia Dortmund, who have five German Cup trophies, Bundesliga side St. Pauli have never won the title. Their best result was reaching the semi-finals in 2005/06, when St. Pauli was won 3-0 by Bayern Munich.
St. Pauli vs Borussia Dortmund
St. Pauli
St. Pauli finished 10th in the Bundesliga last season, but St. Pauli played a wave of excellent performances in the middle and late league last season. St. Pauli started this season in the Bundesliga and is currently at the top of the league table, with strong performances on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. St. Pauli forward Kyrre participated in the Africa Cup of Nations and will be absent in the near future, but the st. Pauli squad is fairly thick, and Kyerre's absence has a limited impact on St. Pauli.
Billeffe midfielder Marcel signed this season: Hartle and Osnabrück striker Amenjdo. At the same time signed Will defender Ritzka. Solja goalkeeper Vasily joined the team on a free transfer. Norwegian defender veteran Reggie Newson has officially retired, and Ryo Miyaichi has also left the team. After the loan contract expired, Wolfsburg striker Malmouz and Frankfurt midfielder Salazar left the team. St. Pauli's current striker Burgstaller, Kyerre and Pakareda, a trio, has now scored 14 goals to top the top scorer list, and the former Schalke striker is the main threat to the team, especially as top scorer Kylery plays in the Africa Cup of Nations, where Burgsthal will be in the spotlight. In this Year's German Cup, Burgstaler scored twice in the first round and delivered key assists in the second round! St. Pauli has both efficient shooters and a relatively rich firepower point, and there are currently 11 players in the squad to score goals. Manager Schultz's performance has been much appreciated.
It should be noted that St. Pauli's play style has been somewhat open recently, and the defensive stability is not as good as before. St. Pauli's home stadium is imposing. St. Pauli has averaged just 15.3 league games this season, only 18th in the Bundesliga, and the team's ability to compete for high balls is weak. In this campaign, rotational center Makinock is in the isolation recovery stage due to the new crown infection, and forward Daschner, right-back Vickhof and center-back Aviwall are most likely injured.
St. Pauli last won Dortmund in the Bundesliga on 30 November 1989. St. Pauli have won 2 top-flight games in the previous 16 meetings, While Borussia Dortmund have won 11 and the two teams have shared 3 handshakes.
St. Pauli currently leads the Bundesliga table and has been at the top of the table since last October, the first time since 2011 that St. Pauli clubs have sought to be promoted to the Bundesliga. So the vision of St. Pauli's upgrade is more important than the fight for the German Cup.
In the last round of the DFB-Pokal, St. Pauli eliminated Dresden in extra time, and the last time the club achieved this stage, it is still a long time ago. Since reaching the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal in 2005/06, we have been eliminated in the first or second round every year.
Dortmund
In the last round of the German Cup, Dort won Ingolstadt 2-0, so far, Dort has won eight consecutive German Cup games, since the 2019-20 season 16 2-3 defeat to Werder Bremen, Dort has so far maintained the German Cup to score points.
Since joining Borussia Dortmund, Haaland has scored seven goals in six games in the German Cup, including a hat-trick in the first round of the tournament to win Wayne 3-0, and Haaland also scored two goals in last year's German Cup final.
In the last round of away games against Eintracht Frankfurt, who played well before the winter break, coach Rozer lined up a 433 offensive formation, using Dahoud to play a single back, Mullen as a right winger, and Torgan Hazard replaced Brent as a turning point in the game, Dort changed to 4231, Reus adjusted from the left winger to his favorite midfield forward position, Bellingham withdrew to partner with Dahoud, and Dot suddenly returned to the dead wood. Dortmund ran a distance of 123.2 kilometers in the whole race, a new season high, sprinted 21 times more than his opponents, the success rate of confrontation was also 8 percentage points higher than that of his opponents, and 14 shots on goal in the second half was also twice as many as seven times in the first half.
Borussia Dortmund have been intact lately and Borussia Dortmund will have to lose Germany international Emre Jan for a short time, tearing a fibre in the adductor area of the game against Freiburg. In return, Manuel Akánchy, who recovered from knee surgery, should be in the starting lineup. The use of Meunier is also problematic. Due to a swollen ankle, he was replaced after scoring two goals against Freiburg in the middle of the second half. Reina has resumed full-team training after a muscle problem, and coronavirus Zagadou and Wolf are also on the verge of recovery. Zagadou, Rena and Guerrero can't play in today's card, and Akanji and Mukoko can come back, which is the news that Roze confirmed at the pre-match press conference.
It is worth mentioning that the Hornets were one of the latest teams to assemble for the second half of the Bundesliga, and Rozer's time for his disciples to "fully enjoy the joy of life" seems to have paid off. Dortmund CEO Vácsk explicitly denied in an interview that haaland was leaving in the winter window. A variety of formations such as 433 and even three center-backs are still continuing to be explored.
Since his inception, Mukoko has been a genius that has attracted the attention of the whole world. Born on 20 November 2004, Mukoko moved from Cameroon to Germany at the age of 9, trained in football at the age of 10, played for the Youth Team of St. Pauli at the age of 11 and scored 23 goals in 13 matches for Saint Pauli.
