Stuttgart, on the other hand, has displayed attacking prowess but has been inconsistent in their outcomes. They suffered a narrow loss to Heidenheim and a closely contested defeat against Werder Bremen, while sharing the spoils in a thrilling 4-4 draw with Union Berlin. Stuttgart's recent games have seen them average 2.2 goals, indicating their attacking strength, but their defense has been leaky, conceding 1.6 goals on average. Their expected goals metrics suggest they are capable of creating scoring opportunities, but their defensive lapses could be a concern.
Final Prediction
Stuttgart's superior attacking form and the ability to create and convert scoring opportunities give them the edge over St Pauli. Their attacking prowess, as evidenced by their recent goal-scoring record, coupled with St Pauli's struggles in front of goal, could be decisive. A key factor to watch will be Stuttgart's defensive performance; if they can tighten up at the back, their chances of securing a victory increase significantly.
