MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: AWAY WIN
Dresden have lost two and won only one of their last three league matches after falling to a 1-0 defeat away at relegation candidates Ingolstadt last time out. However, the defeat followed an impressive 3-0 home league win over leaders Cologne. Sitting six points above the drop zone and with three league matches remaining, Dresden could do with with another victory here to secure their second-division status. However, they have hardly shone at home, with only five wins, five draws and five defeats this season in the league.
St. Pauli hit Jahn Regensburg for four in an impressive performance in league last time out, beating them 4-3 despite going into the break 2-1 behind. However, that triumph was their first league victory since early March, having drawn two and lost four of their other six league fixtures. St. Pauli have particularly struggled away from home in league action of late, losing their last three on the bounce. They have also lost five and won only one of their last six away league matches, conceding three goals or more on three occasions during that time.
Dresden have produced mixed results and St. Pauli have been poor on their travels. However, the visitors are coming off an important league win and are still in the race for promotion, with five points separating them from the top three. I’m confident Jos Luhukay’s side will get the better of Dresden here.
SECOND PREDICTION: FIRST TEAM TO SCORE - ST. PAULI
St. Pauli have scored first in each of their last four league meetings with Dresden. Back St. Pauli to open the scoring here, too.
HEAD TO HEAD
