Match Analysis

In recent performances, St Pauli has shown resilience, managing a win against Holstein Kiel and drawing against both Werder Bremen and Leverkusen. Despite their efforts, they have struggled to score, netting only three goals across these fixtures. Their defense has been relatively sturdy, conceding only two goals in these matches. The advanced metrics reveal that St Pauli has been creating chances, with an average of 1.286 expected goals in their last five games, yet they have not been able to convert these opportunities effectively, averaging only 0.6 goals scored per game. 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.
