St. Pauli vs Wolfsburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-10-25 13:30.
[p]Two sides in St Pauli and Wolfsburg meet here looking to kick-start their Bundesliga campaigns after dreary starts. Two of the home side’s five defeats already this season (W1, D1) have come in their past two matches, with a combined five goals conceded across the two. Five defeats at this stage is actually a new unwanted Bundesliga record for the club and miles away from the impact new manager Alexander Blessin would have hoped for.  [/p]
[p]Blessin will know that pressure will mount if he can’t turn things around soon, so he’ll be grateful that his side boast a proud H2H record against Wolfsburg, with no defeat in the four top-tier meetings between the two (W1, D3). Despite that strong record, attending home fans who’ve not even been given a goal to celebrate so far (D1, L2) might not arrive in confident spirits. [/p]
[p]Wolfsburg travel with three more points than their hosts (W2, D1, L4), but Ralph HasenhĂĽttl will want a response from his men after they fell to a 4-2 home defeat against Werder Bremen last time out. That contest summarised their issues this season, as their two goals scored continued a record of being just one of four sides to score in every league game this season, yet four conceded at the other end means only four Bundesliga teams have conceded more coming into the round (16).[/p]
[p]That highlights why they don’t have more to show for their endeavours, but Wolfsburg grabbed all three points on their travels last time out, downing Bochum 3-1. That continued a remarkable trend since Hasenhüttl joined the club of his side winning and then losing across his seven Bundesliga away games in charge. With that success last time out, it’s a trend he will want to buck here. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Elias Saad, who bagged a brace in St Pauli’s most recent win at Freiburg (3-0) comes into the round as one of the most fouled players in the Bundesliga (15). Opponent Tiago Tomás has been a fast threat of late, netting Wolfburg’s opening goal in each of their last two matches. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: St Pauli could go nine successive games without a Bundesliga home win for the first time in their history here (D1, L7). [/p]
