Also next Friday, the teams of St. Pauli and Union Berlin will meet in the 2nd German Bundesliga. Looking at the table situation, the capital cities are considered favorites. The matter is not as clear as initially assumed. The meeting is on 10 March at 6:30 pm.
FC St. Pauli
The first half of FC St. Pauli was – in a word – catastrophic. What did the Hamburgers do? Nothing at all! Instead of a coach change, there was back cover for Ewald Lienen. The coach and the team are now returning this trust. In the final round of the season, the VFB Stuttgart (0: 1) had a good start. Even so, however, the hamburger showed that it is obvious that they are expected to face the favorites. What then followed was an impressive series. In the past five games the team from the Millerntor remained without defeat, celebrated four victories and reached a draw. Most recently, the formidable Munich lions were defeated by 1: 2. A newly discovered quality is the morale of the team. In the 2016/2017 season, the Lienen-elite had still managed to convert a home away from home. At first it was the third full success in the foreign country, but the second in series. The coronation of the successful games of the past weeks was certainly the 5: 0 against the KSC. St. Pauli also has strong strengths in standard situations. Aziz Bouhaddouz has a real weapon. Impressive: St. Pauli was able to score more points in the few backround games than in the entire quarter, which underlines the form of the Hamburgers only more. In addition, the last two home games have been conceded without a goal. In addition, Coach Lienen can reach his entire squad on Friday.
Union Berlin
Union Berlin is not a match for FC St. Pauli. The team of Jens Keller has now surpassed Hannover 96 and stands sensationally on a direct ascent place in the direction of 1. Bundesliga. Lastly, Wuerzburg won with a 2-0 win against Würzburg, while the Munich lions retained the upper hand a week earlier. Union are still unbeaten in the previous round, have five victories and a draw. What also speaks for the team of Jens Keller: The main cities have won the first season’s duel against St. Pauli with a 2-0 win and lost only one of the last five direct duels. However, one could get problems against the re-established Hamburgers abroad. For while the range of taboos is almost inviolable at the local forgeries, he has already suffered four defeats abroad. However, you can rely on an enormously stable defensive. Only two contenders have had to accept Union in the last five league games. All in all, with 23 loss-strikes, the second-best defensive line-up of the league will be played in Kaiserslautern as well as with Heidenheim. Indeed. Coach Jens Keller has to do without one or the other (defensive) actor. Jakob Busch is currently injured, as are Kristian Pedersen, Benni Köhler and Dennis Daube. Roberto Puncec is also beaten after his place against Würzburg.
Betting forecast
The personal problems of the Berliners on the defensive could be a tad at the scales. However, we are more likely to believe that, according to the latest results, the capital cities are solid enough to take at least one meter from Hamburg and therefore count on a division of points.
Prediction: Over 2,5 goals
Odds: 2.10
