Borussia Monchengladbach vs St. Pauli prediction, tips & stats

Borussia Monchengladbach will host St. Pauli on Friday in a Bundesliga clash that could have a huge impact at the bottom of the table.

With the two teams only separated by one point and trying to stay out of the relegation zone, this will be a very exciting duel, but who will emerge victorious?

Read our Borussia Monchengladbach vs St. Pauli prediction and preview to find out.

Tip 1: Both teams to score (BTTS) – yes

Gladbach’s home games are trending towards goals at both ends: they average 1.2 goals scored per home match while conceding 1.8 per home match, a combined 3.0 goals per game.

St. Pauli’s away profile supports that game-state too, with 0.8 scored and 1.7 conceded per away match (combined 2.5 total goals per game).

With both defences allowing 1.7+ goals per game in their respective splits, BTTS is a higher-odds angle than simply backing overs.

Tip 2: Under 0.5 first half goals

Both teams start slowly based on their split data. Gladbach’s matches average just 0.4 first-half goals, while St. Pauli’s average 0.333 first-half goals.

Those are extremely low first-half scoring rates, making 0-0 at half-time a value-leaning alternative to a full-time under, especially given both sides’ higher full-match concession rates.

That being said, if you want to stay on the safer side, betting on a draw at half time could be the way to go.

Tip 3: Double chance: St. Pauli or draw (X2)

The recent H2H summary leans slightly towards St. Pauli, with four wins in their last eight meetings with Borussia. That includes St. Pauli winning 1-2 away in the most recent meeting in Monchengladbach in the DFB Pokal.

Given Gladbach’s inconsistent home results (3 wins in 12 home games) and St. Pauli’s ability to get results in this matchup, taking St. Pauli to avoid defeat offers a good value.
