St. Pauli - Union Berlin predictions

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over St. Pauli on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

The task ahead is well-known to the visiting team. Defeating St. Pauli on their own field would be a major accomplishment, and doing so is always challenging.

St. Pauli will be full of confidence heading into the Sunday clash. They recorded a compelling Heidenheim away victory last time out and will be keen to keep the momentum going. They were given 3.09 betting odds to claim three points but it’s fair to say not many people expected them to do so as impressively as they did.

The visitors are here on the back of a tough but successful matchup with Mainz 05, which they played as the home team. Their early lead eventually turned into a narrow but convincing 2:1 HT/FT victory.

St. Pauli’s last five Bundesliga appearances all ended with less than two goals on the final tally. With that in mind, an Under 2.5 Goals market might be something to consider.

Based on their recent performance, Union Berlin’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 9 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

Despite the 2.52 price for a home win, the hosts lost their previous match against Union Berlin. However, it’s important to keep in mind that they were the visitors in that bout.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Simon Zoller, Lars Ritzka, Sören Ahlers, Sascha Burchert, Conor Metcalfe for the hosts, and Kevin Vogt, Ivan Prtajin, Oluwaseun God Power Osaro Ogbemudia, Andrej Ilić for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
