St. Pauli form and stats

The story so far in the 2. Bundesliga for St. Pauli at their home stadium (Millerntor-Stadion) is 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Pauli with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Hamburger SV game, 43 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Pauli, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Pauli are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Eintracht Braunschweig. Preceding that match was the home game against Osnabruck that was lost 0-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with St. Pauli perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with St. Pauli as a small favourite), we find eleven games. St. Pauli has won five of these, drawn three and lost three.

There will be little rest for Pauli after this match as they are travelling to Würzburger Kickers for a 2. Bundesliga game in only three days.

Pauli have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Millerntor-Stadion with 6 goals in 4 league matches. St. Pauli have conceded 8 goals in these home games, a significant number.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Erzgebirge in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Erzgebirge Aue, zero draws and four defeats.
