St. Pauli vs Heidenheim prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 13, 2025
One of the fixtures of the 14th round of the German championship will take place on Saturday at the Millerntor-Stadion in Hamburg, where local side St. Pauli will host Heidenheim. I suggest a bet on the total goals in this encounter, taking into account the current form of both teams.
Match preview
After drawing away to Köln, the Hamburg side finally ended a run of nine consecutive defeats but still remain second from bottom in the table. The team is struggling mightily in attack, having scored just 11 goals in 13 rounds—one of the worst records in the league.
At home, St. Pauli have been inconsistent—over their last 10 Bundesliga matches at Millerntor, they've failed to win on nine occasions. The defense remains porous as well, with the club conceding in every one of those 10 home games.
As for Heidenheim, the visitors are coming off back-to-back wins, having beaten Freiburg at home and Union Berlin away. These successes have been an important psychological boost for a team fighting for survival and currently sitting 16th in the standings.
However, their away form remains a major concern: five defeats in their last six away fixtures and only four goals scored on the road all season. This makes Heidenheim's attacking threat rather limited, especially against teams who play defensively.
Probable lineups
- St. Pauli: Vasilj, Mets, Smith, Wahl, Pyrka, Irvine, Sands, Fujita, Oppi, Pereira Lage, Cars
- Heidenheim: Ramaj, Keller, Mainka, Gimber, Ferenbach, Niheuß, Dorsch, Busch, Scepner, Pieringer, Honsak
Match facts and head-to-head
- St. Pauli have failed to score more than one goal in 12 of their last 14 home Bundesliga matches.

Prediction
Both teams are struggling at the bottom of the table and face major issues in attack, especially away for Heidenheim and at home for St. Pauli. It's tough to expect fireworks or a high-scoring affair here. Our prediction for this match is "Under 2.5 goals" at odds of 1.77.
