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 a tough winter period, St. Pauli’s goal remains unchanged: survival in the Bundesliga. It has been a grueling campaign for Alexander Blessin's side, as they have collected only 13 points in the first 18 league rounds. While they showed some resilience in December, the restart in January has been challenging, and they need to find their scoring boots quickly to avoid being cut adrift.
St. Pauli has been proactive in the winter transfer window, officially bringing in defender Tomoya Ando from Avispa Fukuoka. The Japanese center-back has already joined the squad and could be an option for the bench on Tuesday.
Regarding injuries, St. Pauli's medical room is still relatively busy. David Nemeth, Simon Spari, and Andreas Hountondji are definitely out. Connor Metcalfe is also unavailable, while the status of top scorer Martijn Kaars is being monitored closely; though he has been playing through some discomfort, he remains the team's primary hope in attack.

RB Leipzig team overview
RB Leipzig has solidified its position in the top five and is firmly in the hunt for a Champions League spot. After a shaky end to December, Ole Werner’s team found their rhythm again in their last outing, securing a dominant 3-0 away win against Heidenheim on January 24. That victory provided a much-needed boost after a heavy defeat to Bayern earlier in the month.
The major talking point in Leipzig remains the future of Yan Diomande. The 19-year-old sensation, who has already contributed six goals this season, is the subject of intense transfer rumors involving Manchester United and PSG. Unlike earlier this month, Diomande is now back in Germany following Ivory Coast's exit from the Africa Cup of Nations and is available to lead the line in Hamburg.
However, Ole Werner still has some selection headaches. Castello Lukeba is a major doubt with a knee capsule injury and will face a late fitness test. Assan Ouedraogo, Viggo Gebel, and Johan Bakayoko are also sidelined, though Antonio Nusa has returned to full training and could feature.

Prediction
St. Pauli remains the least productive side in the final third, having managed only 16 goals in 18 matches. RB Leipzig, meanwhile, boasts one of the league's most disciplined defensive units, especially in away games against bottom-half sides. Historically, matches between these two often see at least one side fail to score. With St. Pauli struggling for creativity and Leipzig regaining their defensive composure, we expect a low-scoring affair for the hosts.
Our prediction: BTTS - No
4 Reasons why we shouldn't expect goals on both sides in this match
-
St. Pauli's drought: The hosts have averaged only 0.5 goals per game in their recent stretch.
-
Leipzig's away discipline: Under Ole Werner, all four of Leipzig’s away wins this season have come with a clean sheet.
-
H2H Trends: At least one team failed to score in five of the last six meetings between these clubs.
-
Recent Encounter: RB Leipzig already proved their superiority earlier this season with a professional 2-0 victory.
