St. Pauli vs Stuttgart prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-05-02 13:30.
[p]St. Pauli’s late season surge has finally brought them to the cusp of safety, as their Bundesliga status for next season will be mathematically confirmed should they better Heidenheim’s result this weekend. St. Pauli will have the benefit of knowing Heidenheim’s result before they take to the field here, and with only champions-elect Bayern Munich beating them across their last seven Bundesliga games (W2, D4), they should be ready to pounce on any opportunities.[/p]
[p]Alexander Blessin’s side are now looking to finish the campaign on a high and arrive on the back of a four-game unbeaten streak (W1, D3), their longest undefeated run in the Bundesliga since February 2011. A mere three home league wins this season (D5, L7) suggest that extending that run here is far from a foregone conclusion, but the incentive of a first H2H Bundesliga double against Stuttgart could provide some added motivation.[/p]
[p]Stuttgart are in for a much less exciting end to the Bundesliga season, as winning just one of their last ten top-flight games has squashed any realistic hopes of a European finish (D3, L6). The Swabians are now 23 points worse off compared to this stage last season, with no other club suffering a drop-off as large as them. [/p]
[p]Hopes of a successful season haven’t completely dissipated just yet, as Sebastian Hoeneß’s men have a DFB-Pokal final to look forward to, where a victory would grant them a spot in next season’s UEFA Europa League league phase. Garnering some momentum ahead of that final at the end of May will be their sole objective across their last three league games, and hitting the road could be the perfect place to do so having lost just two of their last 11 Bundesliga road trips (W4, D5).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Carlo Boukhalfa could spring into action later on as his last six goals for St. Pauli arrived after half-time. Looking to have an earlier impact will be Stuttgart’s Enzo Millot, who scored in the first half of their last away match and has netted eight of his last ten club goals before half-time. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: St. Pauli have conceded exactly one first-half goal in four of their last five matches.[/p]
