THE PREDICTION
Hannover 96 have made a strong start to the year with two wins; in fact, they have taken 13 points from the last 18 on offer. In contrast, second-from-bottom St. Pauli’s winless run stretched to 13 games last Saturday with a 1-1 draw at home to Holstein Kiel - a respectable result in itself, but they remain stuck on just one league victory this season. They are also without a win in their last five meetings with Hannover, collecting just one point and failing to score in all five. Given that Hannover have kept a clean sheet in five of their seven league games at home this season, while St. Pauli have scored just three goals in their last four on their travels, the hosts look appealing in the Win To Nil market.
