St. Pauli – Heidenheim will be played on Wednesday, May 27, starting with 17:30 in the 28th round of the German 2nd League. In the tour, Heidenheim won 1-0 with a goal scored by N. Theuerkauf in the 59th minute.
St. Pauli is without victory in the last 4 direct confrontations, suffering 3 defeats. Moreover, Heidenheim won without a goal in the last 2 direct games.
St. Pauli comes after losing 0-4 in Darmstadt. Thus, the team coached by Jos Luhukay ended the series of 4 rounds without defeat and occupies the 11th place with a total of 33 points. It is noteworthy that 25 of them were obtained on their own land, St. Pauli being the 5th best “home” team. Another interesting aspect is the fact that the host team has an average of only 2.4 goals per match, occupying the last position in this ranking, together with Sandhausen and today’s opponent Heidenheim.
The host team is not used to doing a show when they play away. Along with Bochum, Heidenheim has the lowest average of goals per game in “away” matches and it is noteworthy that only Aue and Dresden have scored fewer goals on foreign soil. Even so, the visiting team is on the 4th place in this league, only 2 lengths away from the 2nd place, a position that ensures the direct promotion in the Bundesliga.
So, there are great chances not to witness a spectacular match and even if Heidenheim is very close to the top 3, its evolutions “outside” have not convinced this season, and St. Pauli has not lost for 6 games at home.
-St. Paul 4th weakest attack;
-Heidenheim 2nd best defense with 29 goals scored;
-St. Pauli undefeated in the last 4 direct confrontations played on Millerntor-Stadion.
PREDICTION: Under 2,5 goals @ 1,80
