St. Pauli and RB Leipzig haven't met too often in the past. Both teams won three of seven H2H matches, with one draw. However, RB Leipzig won the previous two encounters, including a 2-0 victory this season. Also, it is worth noting that at least one of the two teams didn't score in six of the seven H2H games.
St. Pauli team overview
After successfully avoiding relegation last season, St. Pauli's goal remains the same: to stay in the Bundesliga. However, that could be highly challenging for Alexander Blessin's team, as they collected only 12 points in the first 15 league rounds and will have to show up in much better form in the coming months. St. Pauli are currently enjoying their most encouraging spell of the campaign, going four games unbeaten. In the most recent outing, Blessin's team played to a 0-0 draw on the road against Mainz. The home side was better, but the visitors defended well and found a way to a valuable point.
St. Pauli seems active in the transfer market this winter. They already signed defender Tomoya Ando from Avispa Fukuoka. However, it seems unlikely that the Japanese will start on Saturday against RB Leipzig.
St. Pauli have almost a full squad available for the upcoming Bundesliga round. Only David Nemeth and Andreas Hountondji are unavailable, while Martijn Kaars is questionable, and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.

RB Leipzig team overview
RB Leipzig significantly improved this season and are again looking like one of the top four Bundesliga teams, ready to return to the Champions League. However, they didn't end December well, as they lost the last two matches. In the previous game, RB Leipzig lost 3-1 at home against Bayer Leverkusen. The home side ended with an xG of 1.76, while the guests had 2.72, so it is no wonder that Ole Werner's team left empty-handed.
The biggest question for RB Leipzig this January is whether they will sell Yan Diomande. 19-year-old winger is a revelation this season with six goals and three assists in 14 league rounds. According to the reports, Manchester United, Manchester City, PSG, and Tottenham are interested in the youngster.
Yan Diomande is still at the African Cup of Nations and will not play on Saturday in Hamburg. Also, Viggo Gebel and Benjamin Henrichs are injured, while Johan Bakayoko, Ezechiel Banzuzi, Antonio Nusa, and Assan Ouedraogo are questionable.

Prediction
St. Pauli are the worst offensive team in the Bundesliga with 13 goals in 15 matches. On the other hand, RB Leipzig have the third-best defense with 19 conceded goals. Also, it is worth repeating that usually at least one team in the H2H matches between St. Pauli and RB Leipzig doesn't score. We should expect a similar game on Saturday afternoon. Our prediction: BTTS - No.
4 Reasons why we shouldn't expect goals on both sides in this match
- St. Pauli scored only 13 goals in 15 league matches
- RB Leipzig conceded 19 goals in Bundesliga this season
- At least one team didn't score in five of the last six H2H games between these two teams
