Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
St. Pauli will be aiming to recover from a 2-0 loss to Borussia M’gladbach when they take on Holstein Kiel on Matchday 12. St. Pauli failed to win the previous five home games, but they will not have a better chance than this to record their first home win of the season. Their injury list, though, remains pretty long, including the likes of Mets, Dzwigala, Wagner, Banks, Voll, Saad, Metcalfe, Zoller, Burchert, and Ahlers.
The visitors, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Mainz. In their last meeting at Millerntor-Stadion St. Pauli rolled over Holstein Kiel 5-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. The likes of Johansson, Bernhardsson, Kelati, and Kleine-Bekel miss out with injuries for the away team, while both Machino and Puchacz should drop to the bench following their under-par performances in the defeat to Mainz. Porath and Gigovic are ready to step up.
