Eintracht Frankfurt - St. Pauli predictions

Eintracht Frankfurt are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on St. Pauli winning, though.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.67 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

Eintracht Frankfurt grabbed a huge point in the last round’s away clash. As the 2.80 underdogs, they almost pulled a first-class surprise. Eintracht Frankfurt were up and running after the first 45 minutes of their previous fixture and held their guard high enough for a huge point in the end (Freiburg).

St. Pauli’s latest showing against in the Bundesliga was quite disappointing. Playing against Hoffenheim, the first half ended up in a stalemate, but a string of concessions in the second half led to a painful 0:3 defeat.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Eintracht have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

St. Pauli’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

The hosts are in a solid position as number 7th in the standings, but more is expected of them. Another 3 points here will do great in getting them closer to the top, which seems like a likely outcome.

Although most of the season is yet to be played, St. Pauli’s table position is being chipped away with every round. They’re currently sitting at number 14th, but the unfavourable matchup that awaits them in Commerzbank-Arena means that they may fall down even further.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.57 at 888Sport.
