Match result prediction: St Pauli to win

St Pauli has registered two victories in the previous five fixtures in 2. Bundesliga and DFB Pokal. On the other hand, Schalke have suffered two defeats in the previous four league outings, ending one in a draw. The Royal Blues have also gone winless in the previous five road fixtures in the league while losing four of them. Additionally, two of the recent three H2Hs of these two sides at Millerntor Stadion have finished in favour of St Pauli. Therefore, we back St Pauli to have the upper hand and take three points in this game.

Both teams to score prediction: Yes

Three of the previous five competitive H2Hs between these two sides at Millerntor Stadion have featured BTTS outcomes. St Pauli has been on the scoring side in three of the previous five fixtures. League Buccaneers also claimed three clean sheets in that course. However, Schalke has also been quite favourable on the scoring end by scoring in four of the recent five league outings away from Veltins Arena. Hence, we can predict the teams to share a BTTS outcome in this game.

Correct score prediction: 2-1 to St Pauli

St Pauli has scored more than once in two of the previous six league outings. Schalke has rattled the net multiple times in only one of the last five league outings. However, St Pauli have been admirable at the back as they have conceded just two goals in the aforementioned period, keeping three clean sheets. On the other hand, Schalke have conceded six goals in the previous three fixtures in 2. Bundesliga. Therefore, we predict a 2-1 advantage for St Pauli in this fixture.
