St. Pauli - Union Berlin predictions

Beating Union Berlin will not be easy, but we believe St. Pauli are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against St. Pauli on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

St. Pauli lost their previous away game, although the narrow 2:1 margin means it’s nothing to be ashamed of. After all, Freiburg , their opponents, were given odds of 1.78 for a victory. They pulled ahead in the first half and St. Pauli never managed to equalize.

Union Berlin were facing odds of 1.22 to win their most recent Bundesliga match, so not even their most ardent supporters had much hope. However, they were playing at home and managed to keep up with Bayern München throughout the runtime, earning themselves a single point.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and St. Pauli 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.

Our confidence that Union Berlin will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

St. Pauli’s start of the season left a lot to be desired, but there’s a lot of time to improve. However, their clash with Union Berlin will not be easy by any stretch of the imagination. They’ll need a win in order to get as far away from the relegation zone as possible.

In terms of head-to-head stats, the closest point of reference right now is from last season when St. Pauli walked away with a decisive victory. This is an entirely new campaign but most top online bookies are still expecting the match to end in their favour.

On Sunday, both teams will have a complete roster at their disposal, thanks to a lack of injuries or suspensions.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.30 with Pncl, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
