Command Analysis

RB Leipzig

Current form
Leipzig has not won in the Bundesliga for four rounds. There was a 1-2 defeat against Stuttgart and three draws in this period of the game. A peaceful outcome with Bayer Leverkusen (2-2) can be added to the asset. At the same time, it is unlikely that the management's plans included draws with Bochum (3:3) and Union (0:0). As a result, Marco Rosa's team is in fifth place in the table for the upcoming game, two points behind Stuttgart, but the opponent has already played their match of the 21st round. A victory today will allow us to return to the coveted fourth position.
It should be noted that Leipzig had several transfers the day before. Silva went on loan to Werder Bremen. Gomez came from Caen, and Nedelkovic was also hired from Aston Villa.
Disqualifications and injuries
Henricks, Ouedraogo and Schlager will not play today due to injuries. Seiwald's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In six of Leipzig's last seven Bundesliga matches, at least three goals have been scored.
- Leipzig has not lost in 15 of the 16 previous matches in the Bundesliga.
Approximate line–up: Gulaci – Klosterman, Orban, Lukeba – Nusa, Kampl, Haidara, Raum – Simons - Openda, Sheshko.

St. Pauli

Current form
St. Pauli had a three-match winless streak (two wins and a draw) and pulled away to a solid nine points from the direct relegation zone. The Pirates' string of successful matches started with an away victory over Heidenheim with a score of 2:0, followed by a confident victory over Union on their own field (3:0). In the last round, Alexander Blessin's team lost at home to Augsburg (1-1). Throughout the season, St. Pauli has been distinguished by a reliable defensive performance - only 22 goals conceded, only Bayern have a better record. It should be noted that the club leased Van der Heyden from Mallorca.

7.40Tip and bets
Leipzig has not won in the Bundesliga in four rounds in a row, and there were noticeable difficulties in attacking the well-defended Union. Today we have to play against St. Pauli, which is showing its best side in defense and is characterized by a clear organization of the game and teamwork. The Pirates are on the move now, going on a three-match winless streak and may well claim points in Leipzig.
Our forecast is that St. Pauli will win with an Asian handicap (+1) for a coefficient of 1.92
Bet on the total
In the previous round, Leipzig could not open the Union defense even once. That game ended with a score of 0:0. Today we have to play against another team that relies on defense. We do not think that the meeting will be too productive.
The second bet is a total of less than three goals with a coefficient of 1.71
Betting on corners
Let's pay attention to the fact that Leipzig has provided at least six corners in seven of the last nine home matches in the Bundesliga. Based on these statistics, we recommend another option for betting on the game.
Bet: the total of Leipzig's corners is more than 5.5 with a coefficient of 1.75
