Borussia M'gladbach - St. Pauli predictions

Though Borussia M'gladbach are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

St. Pauli appear severely unprepared for a clash with Borussia M., to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.50 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

It’s fair to say Borussia M. demonstrated their character in the last Bundesliga clash. They held it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes against a tough rival and managed to record an important draw (RB Leipzig).

St. Pauli supporters watched the squad face off against Bayern München last round, and not even the most optimistic among them could have reasonably expected a victory. They spent most of the game’s runtime playing from behind, ultimately ending on a score of 0:1.

The previous 3 times we saw Borussia M'Gladbach play at home were marked by more than 5 goals from them. The visitors will need to be careful if they want to avoid conceding a lot of goals.

With their recent performances in mind, we can expect St. Pauli to perform quite well offensively. They recorded over 5 goals in their latest 3 away games – the lack of home-field advantage isn’t a big factor for them.

These early stages of the Bundesliga season have been quite bad for St. Pauli. They’re dangerously close to the relegation zone and are heading into a very unfavourable matchup in Stadion im BORUSSIA-PARK. On the bright side, the season just started, relatively speaking. They’ll have plenty of time to earn some points in the following rounds.

Elias Saad, Simon Zoller, Sören Ahlers, Sascha Burchert, Conor Metcalfe, Eric Smith, Philipp Treu, Scott Banks, Ben Voll, Robert Wagner have all been forced to stay out of this match due to various injuries. That’s one more disadvantage that the visitors will have to deal with on top of being the less likely team to win.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.8, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
