Season ticket holders at Millerntor-Stadion haven’t seen too many victories this season, with St. Pauli languishing in the 13th position so far. The guesting Osnabrück will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
St. Pauli form and stats
St. Pauli have played 12 2. Bundesliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-4-3 (wins-draws-losses). St. Pauli have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Robin Himmelmann not having conceded a league goal in 201 minutes.
A strong away win for St. Pauli against Hamburger SV the last match, as Matthew Penney and Henk Veerman were on target. Before that, St. Pauli drew at home versus Dynamo Dresden.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how St. Pauli have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won four times, drawn five and lost three.
St. Pauli are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 12 games. St. Pauli have only conceded 11 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Osnabrück form and stats

Osnabrück are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, four draws and one defeat. From a total of seven matches.
Osnabrück are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 11 games (in the league). 16 goals have been conceded by Osnabrück in these games.
