St. Pauli vs VfL Osnabruck Prediction & Betting tips
The situation in St. Pauli is becoming more and more precarious. On the one hand, this may be due to the continued suspended or severely restricted “love business” on the Reeperbahn, but also to the sporting situation of the local second division soccer team. Coach Timo Schultz’s team has been waiting for a win since the end of September and recently fell back to penultimate place.
Against this background, it is quite surprising that in the duel on Friday evening between St. Pauli and Osnabrück, the odds of the best bookmakers nevertheless turn out to be in favor of the Hamburgers. The Kiezkicker not only lost their last home game against KSC with a 3-0 draw and also botched the restart after the international break last weekend at 2-0 in Paderborn.
Although the guest from Lower Saxony did not even come close to splattering themselves with fame in the 1: 4 at home against 1. FC Nürnberg, coach Marco Grote’s team is still playing a great season. In addition, the purple-whites are still unbeaten abroad and therefore expect realistic chances of winning points at Millerntor.
We would even go one step further and trust the supposed underdog to win away. On the three-way market, more than three times the stake is paid out; extremely attractive prices are offered even in the two-way market. You can see this in the betting base odds comparison.
St. Pauli:
At FC St. Pauli you will be wondering how things could get to the point that the Kiezkicker have slipped to the penultimate place in the table of the 2nd division after eight match days. After an actually promising start with four points from the first two games, only three points were added in the past six matches. Hamburg have been waiting in vain for a win since the end of September.
The biggest shortcoming is undoubtedly the too fragile defensive. In the last five second division games, Robin Himmelmann always had to reach behind him at least twice. Over the entire season, the Pauli keeper conceded two or more goals in seven out of eight matches. All in all, only SV Darmstadt 98 (18 goals conceded) has an even more unstable defense than the Bundesliga club from the Hanseatic city (16).
At the beginning it was still the potent offensive that was responsible for three consecutive 2-2 draws, but the attack department of the Schultz-Elf finally got noticeably stuck. Both in the 0: 3 against Karlsruhe, as well as in the 0: 2 in the previous week in the Paderborn, the ambitious Hamburgers failed to score, even though there were definitely opportunities in both cases.
In view of the cracked self-confidence, the catastrophic defensive performance and also the stubbornness of the inexperienced coach to continue to enforce his courageous style of play with a high attack pressure despite the failure, we recommend the tip on the away win between St. Pauli and Osnabrück. With Buchtmann, Burgstaller, Miyaichi and Wieckhoff, four players are still injured. Changes compared to the SCP bankruptcy are extremely likely.
Osnabrück:
At VfL Osnabrück the mood is still lively. However, the euphoria got a little crack last Monday. Having started their home game against 1. FC Nürnberg with the aim of being able to climb to a direct promotion position again in the event of a victory, the Lower Saxony got under the wheels 1: 4 against the promotion aspirants and certainly offered the weakest performance of the season so far .
But of course there is no cause for concern, as coach Marco Grote’s team left the field as a loser for the first time and still exceeded their own expectations in sixth place. Nevertheless, we estimate the purple-whites in such a way that the high bankruptcy in their own stadium gnaws at their own personality and we can therefore assume a defiant reaction.
The fact that the men from the Bremen Bridge 2020/21 are unbeaten abroad also speaks in favor of a St. Pauli Osnabrück forecast for the guest. After sharing three points at SpVgg Greuther Fürth, in Bochum and also in Heidenheim, VfL even won 4-2 in Regensburg before the international break, confirming the trend that they scored at least once in all away games.
Because, in our opinion, the odds between St. Pauli and Osnabrück wrongly turn so clearly in the direction of the home side, the value in this duel is very likely hidden in the corresponding bets on the self-confident Grote-Elf. It is also positive to note that Christian Santos is the best goalscorer about to return to the starting line-up. Marc Heider could also celebrate his comeback after injury. Only Augé, Bapoh and Klaas will be canceled.
