Cottbus and St. Pauli face each other in the 2. Bundesliga round 6 in what will be their first meeting in a competitive match since April 2014. Cottbus aim to build on a convincing 3-0 win over Karlsruher and are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. The newcomers have averaged 2.00 goals per game at home, although they have also conceded 2.40 on average. Top scorer Tolcay Cigerci will be the man to watch in the home team, while Guttau and Engelhardt remain sidelined through injury.
St. Pauli, meanwhile, aim to build on a 1-0 victory over promotion hopefuls Wolfsburg, a result that ended their four-game winless run. The visitors have struggled for consistency, particularly on the road, where they are still without a win and have conceded 2.40 goals per game. However, St. Pauli have scored in all but one of their matches this season, while BTTS has landed in 80% of their games. Hrgota, Pereira Lage, and Jansson are out of contention for the visitors from Hamburg.
Cottbus have the stronger PPG and home scoring numbers, while St. Pauli are still winless away from home. Therefore, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (Cottbus average 4.40 total goals per home game, while St. Pauli's away matches produce 3.60 on average).
This Bundesliga 2 match will be played on Sunday 20 September 2026 at 12:30.
