St.Pauli
St.Pauli suddenly looks like a very different team compared to a few weeks ago. After winning only once in 17 matches earlier in the season, the Hamburg side have now taken three victories from their last four Bundesliga games and have given their survival hopes a real boost.
The biggest result came last weekend when they stunned Champions League contenders TSG Hoffenheim with a disciplined 0-1 away win. It was a typical St.Pauli performance – compact defensively, patient without the ball, and ready to strike when the opportunity came.
That win also proved their recent defensive improvement. Earlier in the season, they were conceding far too easily, but lately they have looked far more organised and difficult to break down.
Back at their stadium, St.Pauli can make the game uncomfortable for another stronger opponent, especially with confidence clearly growing inside the squad.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt arrives in Hamburg in solid form. The Eagles have scored at least two goals in each of their last three Bundesliga matches and picked up an important 2-0 victory over SC Freiburg last weekend.
That result means Eintracht Frankfurt have now won two of their last three Bundesliga matches and remain within reach of the European places.
Going forward, they continue to look dangerous, but their biggest issue this season has been their away form.
Eintracht Frankfurt have managed only three wins from 12 Bundesliga matches on the road, and under coach Albert Riera, they are still searching for their first away victory.
That poor record away from home has been one of the main reasons why they have struggled to keep pace with the top four.
The Betting Verdict
St.Pauli are clearly improving and have won three of their last four games, including that impressive victory away at TSG Hoffenheim. Their confidence is much higher now, and the home crowd usually creates a difficult atmosphere for visiting teams.
Eintracht Frankfurt have the stronger squad on paper and have been scoring regularly in recent weeks, but their away record, just three wins in 12 matches, does not look good.
My feeling is this could be a tight game, but I believe that Eintracht Frankfurt will finally record an away win at valuable odds.
