A Sports Betting Pick by Niko

St.Pauli v RB Leipzig
Football; Germany: Bundesliga
Millerntor Stadion – Hamburg
Tuesday, 27th January 2026 - kickoff 20:30 CET

St.Pauli

St.Pauli were held to a goalless draw by city rivals Hamburger SV last weekend, a match dominated by defensive discipline from both sides. While the clean sheet was welcome, it also extended St.Pauli's winless run to four Bundesliga games (two defeats, two draws).

With two defeats and two draws in that stretch, the pressure is growing for St.Pauli to find some attacking spark. Home matches at the Millerntor have often been where they show their best side, but facing one of the Bundesliga’s top teams leaves little room for mistakes.

RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig responded in perfect fashion to their heavy 1-5 home defeat against Bayern Munich by delivering a commanding 0-3 away win over Heidenheim last weekend. Three second-half goals and a clean sheet marked a convincing return to form for Ole Werner’s side.

That victory was particularly important after RB Leipzig had lost three of their previous four Bundesliga matches. It also ended a run of three winless away games, lifting them within one point behind the top four and restoring confidence ahead of this rescheduled fixture.

With attacking power rediscovered and defensive solidity back on show, RB Leipzig will look to carry that momentum into Hamburg.

The Betting Verdict

This is another rearranged fixture, postponed earlier this month due to unsafe winter conditions in Hamburg.

RB Leipzig comes into the game with renewed confidence, while St.Pauli continues to struggle for wins.

If RB Leipzig maintains the intensity shown against Heidenheim, they should win the game, though the Millerntor atmosphere could ensure a competitive contest.
