While RB Leipzig’s home ground may lack a lively atmosphere, it hasn’t impacted their recent form, as the former champions have recorded four consecutive wins at home in the DFB Pokal.
On the other hand, St. Pauli have struggled on the road, with only one victory and nine defeats from their last 18 top-flight away matches.
RB Leipzig have not been involved in particularly high-scoring affairs lately, with 16 of their last 18 home games, including the last 11, featuring two goals or fewer. St. Pauli’s away form tells a similar story, as 16 of their previous 18 matches have also ended with under 2.5 goals.
St. Pauli have shown defensive resilience in the DFB Pokal, keeping 14 clean sheets in their last 19 matches, making it tough for opponents to break through. Additionally, only three of RB Leipzig’s last 13 top-flight games have seen goals from both teams, suggesting that this trend is likely to continue in this encounter.
Prediction
RB Leipzig have not been involved in many high-scoring matches in the DFB Pokal, with 16 of their last 19 games producing two goals or fewer. Given that seven of St. Pauli’s last nine away games have followed a similar pattern, it’s expected that this game will remain low-scoring as well.
Prediction: RB Leipzig 1 : 0 St. Pauli
