St Pauli vs Stuttgart Predictions

Stuttgart look set to continue their good form when they visit St Pauli at Millerntor-Stadion on Saturday. The visitors’ superiority is reflected in the league table, with Stuttgart above St Pauli in the standings.

They are fourth in the league, 13 places and 25 points above St Pauli. They have won 12 of their 20 games this season, while St Pauli have just three wins.

Stuttgart maintained their winning run last weekend, justifying their price of 4/6 to win 1-0 against SC Freiburg. They dominated the game with 69.3% possession and have won nine of the 11 games in which they’ve scored first this season (82%).

Stuttgart are in good form, having been winners in five of their last seven Bundesliga games. They are currently on a run of three straight successes away from home.

The home side are enduring a difficult run of results, having failed to win in nine of their last ten Bundesliga games.

The hosts are having defensive problems. St Pauli have conceded in 17 of their last 20 Bundesliga home games and have failed to keep a clean sheet in 17 of their last 20 games.

The visitors have the edge up front. St Pauli have only managed to score nine goals at home this season in the Bundesliga, averaging just one goal per game from their nine matches. In contrast, Stuttgart have scored in six of their last seven league games and are on a run of five successive scoring games.

A 2-0 away win for Stuttgart looks a decent correct-score option. St Pauli have suffered two defeats by that scoreline this season.
