Our Predictions
Recent meetings often see both sides find the net. Each averages 1+ goals per head-to-head, and the attacking intent shown by St. Pauli at home and Hoffenheim away increases the chances for both to score. The 1.70 odds reflect strong expectation of open play.
With end-to-end attacking play and the last meetings producing at least two goals, Over 2.5 at 1.91 is an attractive call. Both teams are more dangerous in attack than defense recently.
Oddsmakers edge towards St. Pauli, and at home, they show determination when under pressure. Hoffenheim’s away form is solid but not unbeatable. With higher motivation to climb away from danger, St. Pauli could edge a close contest. Odds of 2.30 offer fair value.
