THE PREDICTION
These two sides drew 2-2 in October and this is likely to be another close-run contest, with the pair level on points. Form is certainly on St. Pauli’s side, though, as the Hamburg club have won five of their last six games, a run that has eased them away from relegation danger. The loan signing of Wolfsburg’s Omar Marmoush and the form of top scorer Guido Burgstaller have played a crucial role in that, and the fact they have scored in every match since the turn of the year. Darmstadt also have one or two players who know where the back of the net is and the Lilies have failed to score in just two of their last 13 Bundesliga 2 games, which points to both teams scoring in this one.
