St. Pauli

WLWWWL

Since a losing effort in their last game against Heidenheim in Bundesliga 1 competition, St. Pauli and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that match, St. Pauli had 61% possession and 11 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Heidenheim had 5 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Paul Wanner (66') and Jan Schöppner (82') scored for Heidenheim.

The stats don’t lie, and St. Pauli have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 7 goals overall. Defensively, St. Pauli certainly have room for improvement.

Ahead of this clash, St. Pauli haven't won against Union Berlin in games played away from home for the previous 7 league games. They'll be keen to stop this run.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking at their past head-to-head clashes stretching back to 04/11/2017 shows us that Union Berlin have won 4 of them and St. Pauli 1, with the tally of drawn matches being 1.

15 goals were produced between them in these games, with 10 for Union and 5 for St. Pauli. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 2.5.

📋 Team News: Union Berlin

Jérôme Roussillon (Hamstring injury), Ivan Prtajin (muscular problems), Josip Juranovic (surgery), Yannic Stein (surgery) and Kevin Volland (Knee surgery) will not be able to play for Union Berlin manager Bo Svensson.

It’s our opinion that Union will probably opt for a 3-4-2-1 formation and select Frederik Roennow, Danilho Doekhi, Kevin Vogt, Diogo Leite, Janik Haberer, Tom Rothe, Lucas Tousart, Rani Khedira, Benedict Hollerbach, Yorbe Vertessen and Jordan Pefok.

📰 Team News: St. Pauli

Owing to an otherwise healthy group of players, there is just the one fitness issue for the St. Pauli gaffer Alexander Blessin to contend with. Sören Ahlers (Knee problems) won’t be in action.

We believe St. Pauli might elect for a 3-5-2 system by sending out Nikola Vasilj, Hauke Wahl, Eric Smith, Karol Mets, Philipp Treu, Robert Wagner, Jackson Irvine, Conor Metcalfe, Lars Ritzka, Johannes Eggestein and Morgan Guilavogui.

🔮 Prediction

St. Pauli will do well to register a score against this Union Berlin lineup who will likely score one, at least.

Our tip is therefore for a highly competitive game with a 1-0 advantage for Union Berlin when the referee blows for full-time.
