Union Berlin vs St. Pauli Prediction & Betting tips
Union – St. Pauli, the meeting of two cult clubs is at the same time a pursuit duel between the fourth and fifth. The 1. FC Union Berlin, who has spent the goal promotion much more offensively, is currently only due to the slightly weaker goal difference in third place, but is on a good path. The FC St. Pauli has three fewer meters on the account and is still acting too little constant, but can be satisfied with the season so far yet.
After 22 matches, the statistics are balanced with eight wins and six draws. In Berlin, however, Union has the nose with seven home victories in two draws and only two defeats clearly ahead.
Union Berlin :
After a perfect start of the season with victories at FC Ingolstadt (1-0) and against SV Sandhausen (4: 3) and in the DFB Cup at 1. FC Saarbrücken (2: 1 nV) is the 1st FC Union Berlin starting with one late cashed 2: 2 compensation at 1 FC Nuremberg (2: 2) temporarily out of step. From the games against Arminia Bielefeld (1: 1), Fortuna Dusseldorf (2: 3), Eintracht Braunschweig (1: 1) and SV Sandhausen (0: 1) brought the iron only two meager two points and ran the music only once after. With a 5-0 victory against 1. FC Kaiserslautern the knot burst again and it was followed by Erzgebirge Aue (2: 0), SSV Jahn Regensburg (2: 0) and SpVgg Greuther Fürth (3: 1) three more victories. Last week, the winning streak with a 1: 4 in the DFB Cup at Bayer Leverkusen but torn and also the 1: 1 after MSV Duisburg was after a long lead a disappointment.
With only Kenny Redondo and Atsuto Uchida still missing, Kristian Pedersen, who was recently beaten down, could return to the starting eleven, with little change expected otherwise.
Probable lineup: Busk – Trimmel, Leistner, Schoenheim, Pedersen – Kroos, Prömel – Skrzybski, Hartel, Gogia – Polter
St. Pauli:
After a good to good start with four points from the games at VfL Bochum (1: 0) and against Dynamo Dresden (2: 2), the cup-break at SC Paderborn (1: 2) was a first damper, a clear 0 : 3 at SV Darmstadt 98 followed. After the team of coach Olaf Janßen landed against 1. FC Heidenheim and 1. FC Nuremberg, although two 1-0 victories, but Konstanz did not bring the Brown-White in their performance, as the following results against FC Ingolstadt (0 : 4), Holstein Kiel (1-0), Fortuna Dusseldorf (1-2) and Eintracht Braunschweig (2-0). Although the latter held a certain consistency, the three 1-1 draws in a row against 1. FC Kaiserslautern, SV Sandhausen and Erzgebirge Aue were not satisfied and were especially in the two home games synonymous with unnecessary point losses.
It is hoped that at least Aziz Bouhaddouz will return from the many casualties and revive the offensive. However, Cenk Sahin, Richard Neudecker, Philipp Ziereis, Ryo Miyaichi and Marc Hornschuh are certainly missing again.
Probable lineup: Himmelmann – Dudziak, Sobiech, Avevor, Buballa – Flum, Nehrig – Sobota, bay man, Möller Daehli – Allagui
