Our prediction for the match St. Pauli vs Hoffenheim
The teams had spent the previous cycle in a successful way. The representatives of Hamburg unexpectedly won the 2. Bundesliga. That, however, was achieved by Hürzeler, but the young coach went to train Brighton in the summer. And the club from Sinsheim, gaining 46 points, managed to climb to 7th place.
Hoffenheim did not get 1 or 2 points in the Europa League, where it had returned after a noticeable break, to reach the playoffs. Then, the management was more concerned about the failure in the Bundesliga. At first, even the replacement of the coach and the arrival of Ilzer did not change much, but the club managed to break away from the relegation zone by spring. As a result, a 1-1 draw in the struggle with the crisis opponent, Heidenheim, looks like a misfire. The newcomer, on the contrary, started relatively well. Still, it is reasonable to mention that the club has been losing to everyone in a row, even without scoring, since February. The black streak was interrupted only in the previous round – the meeting with Wolfsburg brought a 1-1 draw.
Blessin’s wards score little, 0.76 goals, while conceding 1.2 goals per meeting. His more experienced opponent has got a brighter, but also negative goal ratio – 1.28/1.88.
