Karlsruher SC hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 28 points and a 16th position in the 2. Bundesliga table. Visiting St. Pauli holds 11th place with 33 pts.

It's no vacation for neither Karlsruher nor St. Pauli as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Karlsruher SC form and stats

When playing at home in the 2. Bundesliga, Karlsruher SC have managed 4 wins, 5 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 14 games.

Karlsruher SC shared the glory with Hannover 96 in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Bochum that ended 0-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Karlsruher have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won three, drawn three and lost zero.

Karlsruher are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 14 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Karlsruher defense is not exactly impregnable. 22 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

St. Pauli form and stats

There's been little loot from St. Pauli's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 13 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. St. Pauli only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 5 draws.

The attacking players of Pauli have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 186 minutes.

Pauli delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Heidenheim (placed 4th) in their previous match; a 2. Bundesliga game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Darmstadt 98 wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Pauli playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were one St. Pauli win, three draws and four defeats.

The visiting St. Pauli have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 13 goals from 13 games. St. Pauli struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 24 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the St. Pauli - Karlsruher 2-2 played earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Karlsruher, three draws and three wins for St. Pauli. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
