Koln head into this matchup desperate to get back on course and we predict that they will do so with a 2-1 win over St. Pauli. Defensive issues continue to plague the Billy Goats, as they concede 2.40 goals per match at home, with their expected goals against of 1.48 confirming that opponents regularly carve out promising chances. On the positive side, Koln do pose an attacking threat at the RheinEnergieStadion, scoring 2.00 goals per home game and posting an encouraging 1.66 expected goals, but their inconsistency in both penalty areas remains a major concern. Dominique Heintz misses out with injury, though the defender is not considered a first-team regular.
St. Pauli arrive in equally poor form, having lost four of their last five matches and averaging only 0.40 points per game. Their attack has struggled badly, scoring just 0.70 goals on average, while failing to find the net in 50% of their fixtures. Defensively, the visitors concede 2.10 goals per game, and their inability to keep a single clean sheet this season highlights deep structural problems. Even their away numbers offer little encouragement, with 1.80 goals conceded per match and only 0.60 points per game collected on the road.
The H2H record heavily favours Koln, who have won 6 of the last 8 encounters, and given St. Pauli's recent struggles, all Home Win, Koln Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (63% H2H) betting markets should be considered.
This Bundesliga match will be played on Saturday 6 December 2025 at 14:30.
