St. Pauli will be looking to keep alive their hopes of a promotion to the German top flight with a win this week when they host Hansa Rostock.
It's been more than a decade since St Pauli were relegated from the Bundesliga but it looks like Fabian Hürzeler's side could return to the top flight next season. The Kiezkickers are just one point off the top of the table and have the joint-best home record in the division.
Rostock meanwhile have had to settle for the second Bundesliga since their promotion from the third division in the 2020-21 season. Rostockfinished13th in each of the last two seasons to avoid relegation, but the 2023-24 season has been a disaster. Mersad Selimbegović's side are among the bottom three and have only managed three away wins this season.
Betting Tips St. Pauli vs Rostock: Home team to win
St Pauli have been a force to be reckoned with at the Millerntor Stadium this season. Indeed, Kiezkicker have lost just one game on home soil this season, winning nine and draw five. They also have a very strong record against Rostock at this venue, having won all the last five encounters 13-2 on aggregate.
Rostock have been poor both offensively and defensively away from home lately. The visitors are winless in their last nine games on the road and failed to find the back net in two of those fixtures. And given the team's current form, anything other than a home win would be a surprise.
