Friday’s clash at the Millerntor-Stadion will see two newly promoted sides go head-to-head as St. Pauli hosts fellow strugglers Holstein Kiel in matchweek 12 of the German Bundesliga.
The return to league action after the two-week international break was marked by disappointment for St. Pauli, who were thoroughly beaten 0-2 by Borussia M'gladbach, a result that marked their seventh loss in 11 top-flight matches. Led by Alexander Blessin, the team has struggled to meet the demands of the top tier, with their disappointing eight-point haul leaving them in a precarious relegation playoff position, though being just two points away from safety offers a glimmer of hope.
Much like their fellow promoted side from last season, Holstein Kiel are facing with the difficulties of adjusting to life in Germany's top football tier, making them one of the leading candidates to drop back down. After securing their first win of the season with a narrow 1-0 victory over Heidenheim earlier this month, Die Storche returned to their old ways, suffering back-to-back defeats against Werder and Mainz, leaving them five points behind the first team outside the danger zone.
St. Pauli vs Holstein Kiel Betting Tips: UNDER 2.5
It’s incredibly hard to predict who might come out on top in the battle between two underperforming Bundesliga teams, but we are certain that neither side will want to worsen their already poor situation, which could lead to a dull and uneventful match. With a paltry seven goals to their name, St. Pauli understandably hold the worst attacking record in Germany’s top flight, and shockingly, they are still searching for their first home goal of the season. In the final third, Holstein Kiel have been just as ineffective, being kept off the scoreboard in half of their last six games, including a heavy 0-3 defeat at home to Mainz in their most recent outing. Despite their recent encounters producing a flurry of goals, this time the situation is completely different as both teams are playing a match of great significance, so it wouldn't be surprising if the points are shared in a dull, goalless contest.

Holstein Kiel team news
Holstein Kiel will be without key player Carl Johansson for the eighth consecutive match as he continues his recovery from a serious knee injury, while his fellow Swede, Alexander Bernhardsson, is listed as doubtful.
21-year-old center-back Colin Kleine-Bekel has returned to training with his team after months on the sidelines due to surgery for a serious injury, but he still appears to be unfit to feature in this match.
