Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
St. Pauli will be aiming to cement top position in the standings when they take on Hertha Berlin in the 2. Bundesliga round 25. The league leaders are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home ground, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. All Oladapo Afolayan, Eric Smith, David Nemeth, Etienne Amenyido, and Scott Banks are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
The capital club, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league matches. Hertha Berlin have little to play for in the season finale and given St. Pauli’s fine home record, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from Sunday’s encounter. All Marton Dardai, Marc-Oliver Kempf, and Agustin Rogel miss out with injuries for the visiting team. In the first half of the season St. Pauli defeated Hertha 2-1, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
