Prediction: 1-1
St Pauli
Following a goalless draw with Heidenheim, Hoffenheim will look to record their third home win of the season when they take on St. Pauli on Matchday 9. Hoffenheim are only three points clear of bottom three, meaning that Saturday’s clash is of big importance for them. Fit-again defender Pavel Kaderabek is in line for a recall, while the likes of Christopher Lenz, Dennis Geiger, Grischa Promel, Ihlas Bebou, Finn Ole Becker, and Ozan Kabak remain on the sidelines with injuries.
St. Pauli, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Wolfsburg. The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we predict that they are going to share the spoils at PreZero Arena. In their last meeting at the venue Hoffenheim and St. Pauli played out a 2-2 draw. The likes of Ben Voll, Elias Saad, Connor Metcalfe, Simon Zoller, Sascha Burchert, and Soren Ahlers are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
