Hamburger SV vs St. Pauli Prediction & Betting tips
It is the game of the year in the Hanseatic city. HSV versus St. Pauli – every football fan in Hamburg is waiting for this match. For amateur sport and also with regard to spectators in the stadiums, new rules apply from Monday. After all, 1,000 spectators should attend this game in the Volkspark on Friday, even if the derby mood is completely different.
With the best bookmakers, HSV is the clear favorite in this duel, but in a derby, especially in this game, that doesn’t count. It only depends on the 90 minutes, because in terms of intensity and passion there are not many games that come close to this encounter, after all it is about the city championship in the second largest city in the republic.
In the table in the 2nd division, Daniel Thioune’s team is clearly in first place. The Rothosen have won all five second division games and already have a cushion of five points on their first rival Holstein Kiel. This balance alone suggests that in the derby between HSV and St. Pauli a prognosis for the home win is almost inevitable.
The Kiezkicker didn’t get into the season that furiously and are ninth with six points from five games. That sounds like mediocrity, but the Paulians have shown that they have what it takes to play a neat ball. Nevertheless, the first impulse remains to place a tip on the home side between HSV and St. Pauli.
HSV:
Who would have thought that after the disaster in the DFB Cup in Dresden, HSV would be able to outrun the competition in the second Bundesliga after just five match days? Daniel Thioune has managed with his calm manner to get the team back on track and is now reaping the benefits.
The Rothosen got off to the best start to the season of all time. There have never been five wins in five games for HSV. Nevertheless, Daniel Thioune stays on the carpet and does not allow the media and fans to pull him up to the ascent. That is also a reason for using the odds on a diamond win in the match between HSV and St. Pauli.
Last weekend, however, the Hanseatic League needed a wake-up call in the home game against Würzburg to build on their flawless record. At the break, HSV was down 1-0. Perhaps the worst run of the season was good for the derby, as Daniel Thioune’s team freed themselves and won 3-1 after two goals from Simon Terodde and one from Khaled Narey.
The odds comparison of the betting base shows that the three points in the derby tend to stay in the Volkspark. This is also due to the fact that Daniel Thioune can draw on almost unlimited resources. Ex-Paulian Jeremy Dudziak reported back in time and will probably be in the starting line-up. So only Bakary Jatta and Rick van Drongelen are missing.
St. Pauli:
St. Pauli has a team that is definitely dangerous and has shown on the offensive that you can hurt an opponent. In addition, Timo Schulz’s team has proven its ability to take on this season and often came back into the game after backlogs. You are not allowed to write off the Kiezkicker early.
In addition, the guests are likely to guarantee a derby with many goals. After the red trousers, the brown-whites scored the second-most goals this season in the 2nd Bundesliga. That sounds like a prediction of hits from both rivals in the match between HSV and St. Pauli is quite understandable.
However, Hamburg have not won in the second division for three games and have not celebrated any success away from home this season. Against this background, the 2: 2 last weekend in Darmstadt was okay, especially since St. Pauli was 2-0 down and only equalized in the final phase through Rico Benatelli and Rodrigo Zalazar.
Timo Schulz is a little more concerned about injured players. Christopher Buchtmann is still in advanced training and will have to pass as well as Guido Burgstaller, Ryo Miyaichi and Jannes Wieckhoff. Nevertheless, passionate Kiez kickers are expected, who want to teach HSV the first point loss of the new season.
