Hamburger SV v FC St. Pauli
Zodiac Bet Betting Odds
Hamburg: 2.20
Draw: 3.30
St. Pauli: 2.95
Despite losing only 1 of its past 16 matches, Hamburg lies 6 points off the leaders in 5th position. St. Pauli is atop the Bundesliga 2 table but it has allowed the chasing-pack to catch up after failing to win the last 3 games.
In the view of our Bundesliga 2 betting tips experts, the 2.00 line on Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals looks a pretty viable for this derby-clash. Hamburg has scored 11 times in the last 4 home-games but has just 2 clean-sheets at Volksparkstadion this season. St. Pauli has not earned a clean-sheet since October but it has failed to score in only 2 of the past 13 league-matches.
The 1.61 price on the Double Chance for a draw or away-win gives a safer option. Hamburg are undefeated at home but has in fact bagged just 4 wins from those 10 fixtures. While St. Pauli has gathered a mere 12 points away from home it has suffered only 2 losses in the previous 7 games on the road.
