St. Pauli - Augsburg predictions

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

The visitors are well-aware of the task ahead. Beating St. Pauli is difficult under any circumstances and doing it on their own turf would be an even bigger achievement for Augsburg.

It’s fair to say even the most avid St. Pauli supporters were surprised to see their team land a comprehensive Hamburger SV victory in the last round of the Bundesliga. Having taken an early lead, St. Pauli smelled blood and went for the jugular resulting in a big-margin, morale-boosting triumph.

Augsburg are coming off of a : draw in a relatively low-scoring home game against Bayern München last round. Considering how heavily the Bundesliga betting odds were stacked against them, however, the point they earned can be considered an accomplishment.

These two teams met in the previous season, and things went quite poorly for St. Pauli. They lost the game to a considerable goal difference. However, the 2.26 betting odds for a home win make it clear that the teams’ forms are quite different this time around.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
