Holstein vs St. Pauli prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 12, 2025
One of the matches of the 29th round of the German Championship will be played on Saturday at the "Holstein-Stadion," where local Holstein Kiel will host St. Pauli. I suggest betting on goals in this clash with good chances of success.
Match preview
In the last round, Holstein managed to snatch a draw from Mainz (1-1), but this result is unlikely to please the fans: a win in the championship remains a rarity for Marcel Rapp's team — only one victory in the last 11 rounds (4 draws and 6 losses). At the same time, the attacking line continues to yield dividends: the team scored at least once in 8 matches during this stretch.
In total, the "Storks" have recorded 39 goals — the third result among all teams located in the lower part of the table. In the overall standings, Holstein is at the bottom of the pack and trails the 15th safe spot by 8 points. At home, the team cannot seem to please the fans: already five matches without a win (two draws and three losses).
In the last round, St. Pauli shared the points in an away duel with Borussia Mönchengladbach (1-1). Alexander Blessin's team continues to stumble: in the last nine rounds, the "Pirates" have achieved only one victory, drawn three times, and suffered five defeats. At the same time, the club has marked a bright spell in attack — goals in four consecutive matches, which is their longest scoring streak in the current Bundesliga season.
In the league table, the Hamburgers held onto the 15th position and slightly strengthened their survival battle — they are now four points clear of the danger zone. However, away from home, the team continues to struggle: only one win in the last six away matches with one draw and four losses.
Probable lineups
- Holstein: Thomas Dähne – Marco Komenda, Dominik Javorcek, Nikolai Remberg, Lasse Rosenboom – Timo Becker, John Tolkin, Suto Machino, Armin Gigovic – Steven Skrzybski, Alexander Berdarson
- St. Pauli: Nikola Vasilj – Lars Ritzka, Philipp Treu, David Nemeth – Hauke Wahl, Manolis Saliakas, Jackson Irvine, Eric Smith – Noah Weißhaupt, Danel Sinani, Elias Saad
Match facts and head-to-head
- In the first match of the season, St. Pauli defeated their opponent with a score of 3-1
- The "Over 2.5 goals" bet has won in the last 4 matches between these two
- The "Both teams to score" bet has won in 12 of Holstein's last 15 Bundesliga matches
Prediction
Bookmakers give a slight edge to the visitors in this match, pricing a St. Pauli win at 2.30. Nevertheless, considering the head-to-head statistics, I suggest taking "both teams to score" at odds of 1.75.
