St. Pauli vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-01-10 14:30.
[p]St Pauli enjoyed a thoroughly successful 2024, returning to the top flight and rounding out the calendar year with their heads above water in the battle to stave off immediate relegation. Two wins from their last four league matches (L2) earned Alexander Blessinās men a four-point buffer to the drop zone, and having added three new signings in the January window already, itās clear they are taking a proactive approach to survival.[/p]
[p]A hugely impressive 1-0 win at Stuttgart before the winter break took their seasonal points tally to 14, though just five of those have been won on home soil (W1, D2, L4). The Kiezkickerās home struggles undoubtedly stem from a lack of goals as theyāve failed to score in six of those seven matches – with the exception coming against second-bottom Holstein Kiel (W 3-1) – something they must improve on ahead of a first top-flight meeting with Eintracht Frankfurt since March 2011.[/p]
[p]Frankfurt were certainly grateful that the winter break came when it did, as they finished 2024 with a miserable five-match winless run across all competitions (D1, L4), three of which came in the Bundesliga (D1, L2). Dino Toppmƶllerās men conceded 2+ goals in all five of those games, placing extra pressure on a forward line thatās so often produced the goods this term.[/p]
[p]The Eaglesā attack comes under fresh scrutiny this month, with Manchester City the latest European heavyweight reportedly lining up a move for star striker Omar Marmoush. Keeping hold of him could be imperative as Frankfurt try and solve their recently developed travel sickness, as a fourth consecutive away defeat here would mark their worst run on the road since December 2023.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: St Pauli captain Jackson Irvine has played every minute in the Bundesliga this season, with the two games heās assisted in ending in wins āto nilā for his side (A3). Frankfurt frontman Marmoush has now failed to score in each of his last four domestic matches, but away supporters will take heart from the fact his last five goals in any competition came on the road.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: No team in the Bundesliga has conceded fewer away goals before half-time this season than Frankfurtās three.[/p]
