THE PREDICTION
Both of these teams picked up vital wins last weekend as they battle to avoid the drop. For St. Pauli, it was actually their third victory in four games and they have lost just one of their last six, which is certainly not relegation form. January signings and a reduced injury list mean that coach Timo Schultz now has a significantly stronger squad at his disposal. For Sandhausen, it was a first win in four but they have won just one of their nine away league matches this term - and that was against bottom side Wurzburger Kickers - losing the other eight. They are also winless in their last four visits to the Millerntor-Stadion and given St. Pauli’s improvement in recent weeks, the hosts look more appealing here.
