Prediction for RB Leipzig vs St. Pauli
The "Bulls" reaffirmed their high level last season, finishing ahead of Borussia Dortmund but trailing behind Bayer Leverkusen and even Stuttgart. Meanwhile, the "League Pirates" impressed in Bundesliga 2, finishing as the best team and earning promotion.
Their young coach Fabian Hürzeler, who led them to the top flight, left for Brighton in England. However, his replacement, Blessin, has been performing relatively well, managing to keep the club above the relegation zone. They closed January with victories over Heidenheim and Union Berlin, though they only managed a draw against Augsburg.
Marco Rose’s side struggled in the Champions League, earning their first points only in January. At the same time, their Bundesliga form took a downturn after a strong start. Even in 2025, after beating Werder Bremen, they suffered a defeat to Stuttgart and recorded draws against Bochum and Bayer Leverkusen, the latter after coming back from 0-2 down. Against Union Berlin, they played a goalless draw.
The hosts are strong in attack, with Šeško and company scoring an average of 1.7 goals per match, but they concede nearly 1.5 per game. The newcomers have a negative goal difference but remain competitive, with a 0.9 goals scored to 1.1 goals conceded ratio.
