St. Pauli will be looking for a repeat result of a 3-0 Bundesliga victory versus Union Berlin.

In that game, St. Pauli had 44% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. For St. Pauli, the goals were scored by Morgan Guilavogui (31', 51') and Danel Sinani (93'). On the other side, Union Berlin got 14 attempts at goal with 2 on target.

A common theme in more recent St. Pauli games is the number of nil scores.

Taking their prior six clashes leading up to this one, in as many as 6 of them a wager on BTTS would have been a loser.
