St Pauli vs Union Berlin Predictions

St Pauli to struggle again

Union Berlin are the best bet to win at St Pauli on Sunday. The hosts have lost five of their last seven home games in the Bundesliga and have lost their last three matches at Millerntor-Stadion.

Union Berlin are 11th in the league, five places and five points above St Pauli, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. Union Berlin have three wins and four losses, while St Pauli have won twice and lost seven.

St Pauli could not break their losing run two weeks ago, when they lost 2-1 away to a SC Freiburg side who had gone five Bundesliga games without a win. They were priced as 17/5 outsiders to win the game and suffered a narrow defeat.

The hosts’ struggles in front of goal must be a concern for St Pauli, who have failed to score in five of their last seven matches. They are on a run of two home games without finding the net.

Recent results do not inspire much confidence in the home side, with St Pauli having lost their last seven Bundesliga matches.

The hosts have had a leaky defence this season, St Pauli failing to keep a clean sheet in their last eight Bundesliga games. They have now gone nine home games without keeping out their opponents.

Union Berlin can edge this, with a 1-0 correct score in favour of the visitors looking like a decent bet. Four of Union Berlin’s last six Bundesliga games have had fewer than three goals.
