St Pauli vs RB Leipzig

St Pauli are hoping to find a spark for survival when they host RB Leipzig in a midweek German Bundesliga fixture.

The hosts have struggled this season and are showing few signs of improvement at the moment. They should find things difficult against the visitors, who are expected to claim the upper hand here.

St Pauli News

It has been a difficult campaign for St Pauli, who have claimed just three wins in 18 Bundesliga matches. Alexander Blessin's team are currently second from bottom, five points from safety, and will be keen to get some resurgence.

Things do not seem to be getting better for St Pauli, who are winless in their last five matches, playing out a 0-0 home draw with Hamburg on Saturday. They have also struggled on home soil and are without a win in four of their last five matches in front of their fans.

Poor defending has been one of the problems for St Pauli, who have a few heavy defeats on home soil, like the 4-0 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach. Two of their last three matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

RB Leipzig News

RB Leipzig head into this clash off the back of a 3-0 victory at Heidenheim last time out in the Bundesliga, with Ridle Baku, David Raum, and Antonio Nusa getting the goals. That was a fine return to winning ways following the 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Bayern Munich in their previous fixture.

The result means RB Leipzig have now won two of their last three Bundesliga matches and sit fourth in the table. Ole Werner's team have also done some good work on their travels and are unbeaten in seven of their last nine away matches.

RB Leipzig have shown attacking quality this season and have scored over 1.5 goals in two of their last three matches. Five of their last six away fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

St Pauli and RB Leipzig have three wins each, with one draw in the last seven matches. The visitors claimed a 2-0 home victory in the most recent meeting last February.

Verdict

St Pauli v RB Leipzig

Both teams have been involved in a few high-scoring fixtures this season, and with five of RB Leipzig’s six away matches producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat is expected here. The visitors have also scored over 1.5 goals in two of their last three matches and could be set for a repeat.

There is a gap in quality between both teams, which is reflected in their position on the table. Leipzig have the superior quality and, having gone unbeaten in seven of their last nine away matches, should claim the win.
