Struggling St. Pauli will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Osnabrück in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- St. Pauli is in the worst form (0-3-3)
- Osnabrück have not yet lost a game away.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a 2. Bundesliga game only four days ago.
St. Pauli form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what St. Pauli have to build on here at Millerntor-Stadion in the 2. Bundesliga.
Pauli haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 188 minutes ago. S. Makienok scored that one.
St. Pauli are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Paderborn. Before that, Pauli played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Hamburger SV.
The penalty miss from Rodrigo Zalazar Martínez in the defeat against Paderborn was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
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 Pauli as a small favourite), we find ten games. St. Pauli has won five of these, drawn three and lost two.
The St. Pauli manager T. Schultz has got the team scoring with 6 from 3 home games in the league. St. Pauli are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (7 from 3 played).
Osnabrück form and stats
Playing away, Osnabrück have won 1 game, drawn 3 and suffered 0 defeats in the 2. Bundesliga this season.
Preceding that game was the away victory against Jahn Regensburg with the score of 4-2.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Osnabrück playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were six Osnabrück wins, four draws and three defeats.
Osnabrück are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 6 times in 4 away games so far. 4 goals have been conceded by Osnabrück in these games.
