Match announcement
St. Pauli
Current form
On the eve of the winter break, St. Pauli pleased its fans with an away victory with a minimal score of 1:0 against Stuttgart. Three points helped to break away from the relegation zone a little. After 15 rounds, the pirates have 14 points and an interim 14th place in the table. However, there is still no breakthrough in the attack - only 12 goals scored, which is the worst indicator in the championship. Plus, we can see weak home performances - Alexander Blessin's charges won only one game on their home field against outsider Holstein (3:1). It is worth noting that St. Pauli has been replenished with Noah Weisshaupt, who was taken on loan from Freiburg, James Sands from New York City and Abdoulie Ceesay from Paide.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ahlers, Burchert and Zoller will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- In six of St. Pauli's last seven home games in the Bundesliga, at least one team has failed to score.
- No more than three goals have been scored in six of the Pirates' previous seven home games
Probable lineup: Vasil - Val, Smith, Mets - Saliakas, Bukhalfa, Irvin, Troy - Afolayan, Eggestein, Guilavogui.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Current form
From the very start of the season, Eintracht pleased its fans for a long time both in the Bundesliga and in the Europa League. However, the eagles could not maintain the momentum, in December, taking into account all tournaments, they won only one victory. Dino Topmöller's charges were eliminated from the German Cup, losing outright to Leipzig with a score of 0:3 on the road. In the Europa League, there was an away defeat to Lyon (2:3). In the Bundesliga, the team scored only one point in the last three rounds. As a result, after 15 rounds, Eintracht is only in third place and is already five points behind second-placed Bayer, while Leipzig is behind, only losing on additional indicators. The team clearly needed a break.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tuta and Baoya will not play today due to injuries. Amenda's appearance on the field is in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Eintracht have drawn in the first half in three of their last four matches
- Six of the Eagles' previous seven away matches in the Bundesliga have seen at least three goals scored
Tentative line-up: Trapp - Christensen, Koch, Theate - Knauff, Larsson, Shkiri, Brown - Ekitike, Uzun - Marmus.

8.70Tip and bets
Eintracht clearly needed a break, the team had a difficult schedule, they simply failed to maintain the pace, hence the numerous failures in December. St. Pauli occasionally plays good matches, but only when they manage to work reliably in defense. The pirates play very uncertainly in attack, they are not very successful. It is unlikely that the hosts will be able to surprise the rested eagles with anything today.
Our betting tip is Eintracht victory at odds of 2.10

We expect Eintracht to play first today and spend a lot of time at the opponent's goal. Accordingly, in this scenario, there is a high probability that the visitors will win on corners.
