Dortmund are favourites for the game at 2/7, giving them an implied win probability of 77.8%, while St Pauli are 9/1 to claim a second victory of the campaign. The draw can be backed at 9/2 and both teams to score is 8/11.

Serhou Guirassy tops the anytime goalscorer market at 5/6, followed by Donyell Malen at 8/5 and Marcel Sabitzer at 2/1.

Borussia Dortmund over 2.5 goals @ 10/11

Dortmund have shown that when their attack is in full flow, they're an unstoppable force.

In their last three matches at Signal Iduna Park, Sahin's side put four past both Bochum and Heidenheim, as well as seven past Celtic in the Champions League.

The visitors are going through a goal drought, failing to find the net in four of their last six Bundesliga matches. In addition, they've conceded three goals in each of their last two league outings.

There's little evidence to suggest that St Pauli are better than the teams that Dortmund have put to the sword, so another high-scoring victory could be on the cards.

Serhou Guirassy to score anytime @ 5/6

Dortmund's biggest signing this summer was Serhou Guirassy from Stuttgart.

The 28-year-old netted 28 times in the Bundesliga last season, earning him a big-money move from Die Roten to BVB, naturally putting extra pressure on his shoulders in the process.

Due to injuries, the Guinea international had to wait until mid-September for his Dortmund debut but he's made a fast start to life at Signal Iduna Park, scoring six in as many appearances for the club across the Bundesliga and Champions League.

Guirassy also managed to net five times in two games for Guinea over the international break, so he comes into Friday's clash in red-hot form, and looks a decent pick to score anytime.
