MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN
Markus Kauczinski’s St. Pauli have been flying of late. St. Pauli started their season with back-to-back wins against Magdeburg and Darmstadt but lost the next three, conceding 12 goals in the process. However, St. Pauli have certainly turned a corner since then and the club are heading into this league match with two wins and one draw after holding city rivals Hamburg to a 0-0 draw away from home last time out. St. Pauli’s superb run of three unbeaten matches has catapulted them up into sixth in the league table.
Sandhausen’s woes worsened at the weekend as they fell to their fifth league defeat. The team were deservedly beaten 1-0 by Magdeburg at Hardtwald Stadium and remain in the bottom three. Coach Kenan Kocak has had a tough start to the season with five losses, two draws and only one win. It looks like this will be a difficult season for them.
St. Pauli have been in very good form and are very strong at Millerntor. Sandhausen will no doubt put up a brave fight, but St. Pauli should take all three points here.
SECOND PREDICTION: ODD/EVEN – ODD
Three of St. Pauli's four league wins have come by a one-goal margin. In truth, a single goal could be enough to settle this one between these two sides and I'll therefore predict odd total goals.
HEAD TO HEAD
St. Pauli have lost just two of their past six league meetings with Sandhausen, winning one and drawing three.
