St. Pauli and Osnabrück meet at Millerntor ‑ Stadion, in a match for the 9th round of the 2. Bundesliga. The record of direct confrontations of the last 3 years is favorable to the home team, which in the last 4 games won 2, drew 1 and lost 1. The last direct confrontation between these two teams, on 03-01-2020, ended with the victory of St. Pauli by (3‑1). Particular attention is needed for the home / away condition, as both teams present significantly different results at home and away.
St. Pauli:
The home team is currently in 17th position, with 7 points won, after 1 win, 4 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost at home to Karlsruher SC by (0‑3). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Paderborn by (2‑0). This is a stronger team with the support of its fans, since in the last 30 games it has registered 1 victory, 4 draws and 10 losses as a visitor; against 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses in his stadium. In their last 10 home games, St. Pauli has registered 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss.
For this competition, they have not won any of the last 6 matches. The team has not been very strong defensively, since they have always suffered goals in the last 8 matches they played in this competition. This is a team that tends to find it difficult to score first. In fact, he only opened the scoring once in the last 8 games for the 2. Bundesliga. In 8 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 7 times and never got the comeback. In the last 4 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (76′ ‑ 90 ‘).
It’s already six days without losing and this is beginning to worry St. Pauli, as it is in the relegation zone. However, he is only paying this price due to the weakness of football that he has featured throughout matches. To change this, it is up to you, but you will have to present a different position in the future. At home, only positive results can occur and this applies to this journey.
Osnabrück:
After 3 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, the visiting team is currently in 6th position, with 13 points won. In their last match, they lost to Nürnberg at home by (1‑4), after having won away in the previous match, in a match against Jahn Regensburg, by (2‑4). This is a team that curiously tends to achieve more positive results as a visitor than at home, since in the last 30 games they have registered 3 victories, 11 draws and 1 loss as a visitor, with 20 goals scored and 17 suffered; against 4 victories, 3 draws and 8 defeats in his stadium, with 22 goals scored and 34 suffered. In their last 4 away matches for the championship, Osnabrück recorded 1 victory and 3 draws, for which they won 6 points out of 12 possible.
For this competition, they have not lost any of the last 4 away matches. Their defense has not been very strong, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 8 matches, but their offense has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition. This is a team that usually scores first few times: it only opened the scoring in 2 of its last 8 games for the 2. Bundesliga, of these 2 it reached the half-time advantage in all and won at the end of the 90 ‘in all. In 8 games in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 5 times and only managed 1 comeback. In the last 6 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (61’ ‑ 75 ‘).
Osnabrück had their first defeat in the competition and it was not just any defeat. Despite having played at home, he was beaten by Nuremberg and now he is coming to regain the points he lost. The game will not be easy, but he will face an opponent who is having a bad campaign. So if you manage to present the good football you have, it won’t be surprising if you get a favorable result.
PREDICTION: St. Pauli to win @ 2,18
