St. Pauli vs Augsburg Prediction

When considering the recent results of both these two teams, we could be in for a thrilling battle here between St. Pauli and Augsburg. Whilst the hosts are coming off the back of consecutive victories, Augsburg have won each of their last three Bundesliga games and currently sit one place and five points clear of their opponents heading into this contest.

Confidence and momentum must be high within both camps and each of them should bring that with them out onto the field, leading to what is likely to be an entertaining game with the potential to go either way. However, goals may not be easy to come by with just two of the last league matches involving at least one of these two clubs having seen under 2.5 goals scored, so consider backing that outcome regardless of who comes out on top.
