While RB Leipzig’s home ground may lack a bit of atmosphere, that hasn’t affected their recent form, as the team has recorded four consecutive victories in front of their fans in the DFB Pokal.
In contrast, St. Pauli has struggled on the road, managing just one win and suffering nine defeats in their last 18 top-flight away matches.
RB Leipzig has not exactly been delivering high-scoring thrillers lately, with 16 of their previous 18 home games, including the last 11, featuring two goals or fewer. St. Pauli’s away form mirrors this trend, as 16 of their last 18 away games have also finished with under 2.5 goals.
St. Pauli’s defense has been solid in the DFB Pokal, keeping 14 clean sheets in their last 19 matches, making them a tough side to break down. Given that only three of RB Leipzig’s last 13 games have seen both teams score, it’s likely this encounter will follow a similar pattern.
Prediction
RB Leipzig’s matches in the DFB Pokal haven’t been the most exciting, with 16 of their last 19 games producing two goals or fewer. Since seven of St. Pauli’s last nine away games have also had under 2.5 goals, it would be surprising if this trend changed.
Prediction: RB Leipzig 1 : 0 St. Pauli
