St. Pauli

WWWLLL 📉

St. Pauli will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 3-1 Bundesliga 1 defeat last time out to Augsburg.

In that game, St. Pauli had 57% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target. The scorer for St. Pauli was Carlo Boukhalfa (75'). For their opponents, Augsburg got 18 attempts on goal with 9 on target. Marius Wolf (47'), Phillip Tietz (67') and Yusuf Kabadayı (96') scored for Augsburg.

It has been seldom in recent games where St. Pauli have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that St. Pauli have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 games, leaking 10 goals along the way. That pattern might not be continued into this game, though.

Coming into this fixture, St. Pauli are unbeaten in the league by RB Leipzig in their last 3 games.

RB Leipzig

DWWWDL

After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Atlético Madrid in Champions League action, RB Leipzig and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, RB Leipzig had 48% possession and 7 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for RB Leipzig was Benjamin Šeško (4'). Atletico Madrid got 21 shots on goal with 4 on target. Antoine Griezmann (28') and José María Giménez (90') scored for Atlético Madrid.

Marco Rose's RB Leipzig have turned their attacks into goals a total of 11 times in the course of their most recent 6 matches. The total of goals that they have conceded during those same clashes equals 6.

Heading into this fixture, RB Leipzig are unbeaten in their previous 7 away league matches.

🤜🤛 Head to head

The previous league match featuring the two was Bundesliga 2 match day 21 on 12/02/2016 when it finished St. Pauli 1-0 RB Leipzig.

The match was refereed by Tobias Welz.

📰 Team News: St. Pauli

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just one fitness concern for the St. Pauli gaffer Alexander Blessin to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Sören Ahlers (Knee problems) is sidelined.

In our view, St. Pauli could use a 3-5-2 formation for this one, handing starts to Nikola Vasilj, Hauke Wahl, Eric Smith, Karol Mets, Manolis Saliakas, Elias Saad, Jackson Irvine, Carlo Boukhalfa, Philipp Treu, Johannes Eggestein and Oladapo Afolayan.

🗞️ Team News: RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig boss Marco Rose has not got a full squad to pick from. Kevin Kampl (Adductor pain), Xaver Schlager (Cruciate ligament tear) and Assan Ouédraogo (Knee injury) can’t be considered.

We are inclined to think that Leipzig seem most likely to play in a 4-4-2 formation, giving starts to Peter Gulacsi, Benjamin Henrichs, Willi Orban, Castello Lukeba, David Raum, Antonio Nusa, Amadou Haidara, Arthur Vermeeren, Xavi Simons, Benjamin Sesko and Ikoma Lois Openda.

✨ Prediction

St. Pauli have it within them to score a goal against this RB Leipzig outfit, but one goal likely won’t be enough to give them the result that they want.

Therefore, we’re predicting a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 advantage for RB Leipzig at full-time. It really should be an interesting one.
