St. Pauli take on Koln in a Bundesliga clash with both sides looking to stabilise after mixed recent runs. As both sides are eager to grab something from Saturday's encounter, we predict a 2-2 draw. St. Pauli come into the match reeling from a 5-0 defeat to Bayern Munich, but they do have positives to lean on, with Jackson Irvine returning from suspension. However, they will be without Joel Fujita due to suspension. Their recent form has produced 1.10 points per game, but attacking issues remain clear, scoring just 0.70 goals per match and failing to score in 50% of games. At home they are slightly stronger, but still inconsistent, averaging 1.00 goal per game with a 40% win rate.
Koln travel to Hamburg following a 3-1 win over Werder Bremen and slightly more stable form overall, averaging 1.00 point per game. The Billy Goats are far more dangerous offensively than St. Pauli, scoring 1.50 goals per match and producing an 80% BTTS rate, but their defensive record remains shaky at 1.80 conceded per game. Away from home, they are still winless in recent matches, conceding 2.00 goals per game and looking vulnerable. H2H history heavily favours Köln, who have won 6 of 9 meetings.
Given Koln’s 80% BTTS rate and with both defences look shaky, we believe that there is big value in betting on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals (high-scoring profiles and open defensive records).
This Bundesliga match will be played on Friday 17 April 2026 at 19:30.
