St.Pauli
St.Pauli spent the entire season near or inside the relegation zone. They are now just above, three points in front of Heidenheim before this round. The relegation fight will be unpredictable until the end, but I feel they can end up in front of Heidenheim and avoid the bottom three.
One reason is that, even though it sounds strange, they are still one of the best defensive teams in Germany. They have conceded only 33 in 27 games, and only Bayern Munich and Mainz have better defensive records.
Good defense is nothing without solid offense, and St.Pauli is the weakest in that department. With only 22 goals scored so far, they are the worst attacking side in the Bundesliga.
Last weekend, St.Pauli lost 3-2 to Bayern Munich, their fourth defeat in six games. Now they have another tough opponent before their relegation “six-pointer” next week against Holstein Kiel.
Interestingly, St.Pauli achieved more wins away (four) than at home (three) this season.
Borussia Monchengladbach
Before this season, it was unimaginable that Borussia Monchengladbach would be sitting two points behind the Champions League spots after 27 rounds. Yet, they have connected several good performances lately and are now in the hunt for elite European football.
Borussia Monchengladbach has won four of their last six Bundesliga matches, including their last two against Werder Bremen and RB Leipzig. They also kept a clean sheet in their last week’s 1-0 win over RB Leipzig last week, one of their rare achievements this season.
Another reason Borussia Monchengladbach is a strong favorite here because they have won all their last four away matches, scoring twice or more in each win.
The Betting Verdict
This is an important game for both sides at opposite ends of the table, so expect them to be extra motivated for points.
It’s hard to neglect Borussia Monchengladbach’s exceptional form and winning mentality lately, so back them to win this game at excellent odds.
