St. Pauli host RB Leipzig in what promises to be an intriguing clash in the 2. Bundesliga. With Leipzig being in a much better form than St. Pauli, we predict a 3-1 away win. The hosts return Eric Smith from suspension after a goalless draw with Mainz, and the home side will look to build on their 1.00 points-per-game average, despite a 20% win rate at home. Defensively, they’ve struggled, conceding 1.60 goals per home match, though they manage a 20% clean sheet rate. Offensively, they average 0.80 goals at home, but expected goals of 1.48 indicate potential to create more.
The Red Bulls, coming off a 3-1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, are missing Diomande and Haidara due to suspension, yet remain a potent force with 2.40 points per home game and an impressive 3.00 goals scored at home. Both teams see goals, with St. Pauli involved in 60% BTTS matches this season, while Leipzig boast the same rate. H2H is balanced, with 3 wins apiece from 7 meetings. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team, which definitely supports our betting angle.
As 6 of their last 7 H2H matches saw at least two goals, both Over 1.5 goals and BTTS markets seem tempting, alongside Away Win as Leipzig have been in a fine form of late.
This Bundesliga match will be played on Saturday 10 January 2026 at 14:30.
