St. Pauli vs RB Leipzig tips and predictions

St. Pauli warrant consideration for Bundesliga clash

This looks like a decent match-up on paper but the visiting team is definitely being overestimated. The home side could deny them the win.

The hosts come into the match having chalked up 6 wins from their last 8 home games. While most previews say that RB Leipzig will win the contest on their own terms, this St. Pauli squad should be respected.

St. Pauli will need to find their top form. When they've been playing at home they have been producing some brilliant stuff. Their recent 18 home matches have resulted in them hitting the net an average of 2.1 times per game and that's been backed up from one to eleven. At the back they have conceded no more than once in 16 of their last 20 home games.

Away from home RB Leipzig have actually conceded at least once in all of their last 20 matches. To get this done the home side cannot hesitate in front of goal.

You'll be aware of how this match has gone in the past. St. Pauli have won all of the last 3 fixtures between the two sides.

The tactics on their own patch will be clear to see. If they apply pressure to RB Leipzig when counter-attacking, they could soon find themselves in front.

The betting markets suggest that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for RB Leipzig. It's not looking like huge value but the Yes BTTS bet warrants consideration. As for the goal line, it's under 3.5 goals for this one after weighing up the chances of all outcomes.
