St. Pauli vs Augsburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-01-31 14:30.
[p]St. Pauli players and fans alike will be on cloud nine after the club earned back-to-back wins āto nilā in the Bundesliga for the first time in their history. Those results mean that Alexander Blessinās side sit 13th and six points clear of the bottom three, while they now have the opportunity here to earn successive top-flight home victories for the first time since February 2011.[/p]
[p]They might feel confident about achieving that objective, having not lost any of their last three meetings with Augsburg at the Millerntor-Stadion, including wins āto nilā in two of those encounters. This seasonās reverse fixture was a different story though, as St. Pauli let in three (L 3-1) – the joint-most goals theyāve conceded in a league game so far this term.Ā [/p]
[p]Despite St. Pauliās recent improvement, Augsburg are in even better form, having won their last three Bundesliga matches – the only side currently in the top flight to have done that other than leaders Bayern Munich. As a result, they sit five points above their upcoming opponents, although that may not last long as their defensive record on the road is among the worst in the league.[/p]
[p]Augsburgās defence has certainly tightened up since the turn of the year, as they have conceded just two goals across their four matches at any venue in 2025 – compared to eleven goals let in during the four games the previous month. Jess Thorupās men have also begun to gain a reputation for being fast starters away from home, opening the scoring inside ten minutes in each of their last three encounters on the road.Ā [/p]
[p]Key battle: St. Pauliās Morgan Guilavogui has the chance to score in three consecutive games for the first time since March 2023 after netting three times in his last two games. The Guinea international could find himself up against defender Keven Schlotterbeck, who returned from injury off the bench to get the winner in second-half stoppage time for Augsburg against Heidenheim last weekend – he has either scored or been booked in four of his last six matches.[/p]
[p]Hot streak: None of St. Pauliās last six games have seen both teams score.[/p]
