Match Analysis

In their recent performances, St Pauli has struggled to find form, suffering three consecutive losses without scoring a single goal. Their defeats against Ein Frankfurt, Hoffenheim, and Werder Bremen highlight their current scoring woes and defensive vulnerabilities, with an average of 2.25 goals conceded per match in their last five outings. Despite this, their expected goals scored average of 1.275 suggests potential improvement if they can capitalize on opportunities. M'gladbach, on the other hand, has also been on a challenging run, with two losses and a draw in their last three games. They managed a goalless draw against Freiburg, but their defensive issues are highlighted by an average of 1.67 goals conceded per match in their last five games. Offensively, M'gladbach has struggled, scoring an average of just 0.67 goals per game, though their expected goals metric of 1.18 indicates a potential for more.

Final Prediction

St Pauli appears to have an edge heading into this fixture, primarily due to M'gladbach's current position as the bottom team in the league and their inability to secure a win this season. The critical factor to watch during this match will be whether St Pauli can break their goal-scoring drought, as their expected goals suggest a capability that could turn the tide in their favor if realized on the pitch.
