THE PREDICTION
St. Pauli couldn’t have picked a worse time for their results to nosedive and with two rounds of fixtures to go, have dropped out of the 2. Bundesliga top three after failing to win any of their last five league matches. Things don’t get any easier for them here as they travel to league leaders Schalke 04 who know that a win could seal promotion back to the top flight should other results go their way across the weekend. The hosts couldn’t be playing St. Pauli at a better time, with confidence and momentum likely to be rock-bottom among the visiting camp, not to mention the recent spate of Covid-19 infections which has decimated their squad. Back Schalke 04 to capitalise on all this upheaval and secure a massive three points playing in front of their own fans for what they hope will be the final time this season.
