St. Pauli vs Duisburg Prediction & Betting tips
The international break is over and it was also the last interruption until the end of the season in the 2nd Bundesliga. From now on, all concentration applies to the last matchdays. Of course this is especially important for the clubs who are still in the promotion race or in the relegation battle. On Friday, the 27th matchday will be opened with a duel between two teams, who are in the one and the other circle in the classification. The MSV Duisburg will namely be a guest at the Hamburg Millerntor at FC St. Pauli.
The Hamburg hopes that perhaps still the return to the Bundesliga can be celebrated. Currently, the Kiez kickers in the table are in fourth place. The gap of four points to the top relegation place is still catching up, even though the team of Markus Kauczinski acted in a desolate state before the international break. Nevertheless, before the kick-off between St. Pauli and Duisburg, the prognosis should rather go in the direction of a home victory. The Zebras are fighting for the league and are currently on the relegation rank 17. Until the relegation place and even to the saving shore but there are only two points behind. With an away win on Friday, the Meidericher could even make the jump over the line. The last time that MSV Duisburg won at Millerntor is already 22 years ago. At the time both teams played in the Bundesliga. An old acquaintance was already there, because the eternal Friedhelm Funkel was at that time coach of the Meidericher. Recently, however, the balance of the MSV against St. Pauli was significantly expandable. Therefore, it seems advisable not to give a tip on an away win between St. Pauli and Duisburg. The kick-off for Matchday 27 in the 2. Bundesliga between FC St. Pauli and MSV Duisburg at Hamburger Millerntor takes place on 29.03.2019 at 17:30.
St. Pauli:
Overall, one has to say that the FC St. Pauli completed a great season. In the last season, the Hamburg had to tremble for a long time for relegation. Therefore, we think that the Kiezkicker performed this year for a long time about their circumstances or maybe even many victories were happily drawn. But with fourth place, everything is in the green zone and yet the atmosphere at the Millerntor is currently anything but good. The reason is the last two 0: 4 failures at home in the derby against HSV and relegation-threatened SV Sandhausen. The Kiezkicker should be careful that they do not spoil a great season, because still the ascent is still very possible. If we look at the odds before the kick-off between St. Pauli and Duisburg, then the bookmakers expect a home win and then Markus Kauczinski’s team would be back in business.
Of course, the last two bankruptcies have also shown their effect in the international break. Basically, the Kiezkickern against HSV and Sandhausen was missing everything that makes successful football. Especially heart and soul, which is basically a trademark of St. Pauli, was painfully missed. The break might have been just the right time for the Hamburger, also to lighten the mood.
Daniel Buballa made it clear that they wanted to take the few positive moments from the last games, and then win the game against the zebras. Markus Kauczinski but plague some staff worries. Especially in the position of right-back, St. Pauli has hit hard. Luca Zander and Jan-Philipp Kalla both fall off. Probably Jeremy Dudziak will have to help out there. In addition, Philipp Ziereis and Henk Veerman are still missing. Nevertheless, St. Pauli will bring a good team on the turf and it will show if the audience can scream their players back to victory and at the latest then the world would be fine in the neighborhood.
Duisburg:
The table cellar continues to be very close. Nobody expected that the MSV Duisburg will ensure the league’s survival at an early stage, not even after Torsten Lieberknecht took the helm and collected some points. But Duisburg remains in business and has shown some good results just before the internationals. After all, the MSV has been unbeaten in three games, scoring five points. That this series could continue to exist, is perhaps also because the game against the 1. FC Cologne has failed. Thus, the Duisburg have one less game on the account than the competition. That could become very important later in the season. Regardless of the Meidericher but want to score on Friday in Hamburg and continue to make clear that you will do everything to stay in the second division. However, the spectators can expect no football matches, because the zebras currently play only result-oriented. But there is no alternative in this situation either.
The last competitive game of the MSV is already three weeks back. Torsten Lieberknecht and his team visited Regensburg on 9 March and showed qualities that are needed in the relegation battle. The Jahn went with 1: 0 in the lead and had a significantly better overall chances.
In the 67th minute Duisburg but awarded a penalty and with the only right scoring chance secured Kevin Zebras the 1: 1 a very important counter. We expect Duisburg to play a very defensive and compact role in Hamburg as well and barely give the home side room to develop. In Hamburg, MSV will be without Sebastian Neumann, Christian Gartner, Boris Tashchy and flu-sick Lukas Daschner. But Dustin Bomheuer is probably back in the squad, but tends to sit on the bench. Overall, Torsten Lieberknecht is extremely excited about this game. St. Pauli, floodlights, great scenery, all these are incentives for the zebras to get everything out of themselves.
