Hannover - St. Pauli Prediction, Picks and Taips
From a sporting point of view, FC St. Pauli was allowed to take a deep breath last Sunday. In the 2-1 home win over Aue, the Kiezkickers increased their lead on the relegation place to five points. With only nine points to be awarded for relegation, that should be enough. The way in which the victory came about and how coaches Jos Luhukay and compatriot Henk Veerman, in particular, had a dispute on the pitch, did not provide much reassurance.
So it still looks as if the chemistry is no longer right for the brown-whites, who now have a great chance in the north duel at Hannover 96 to bring the relegation into dry cloths. The odds comparison of the betting base reveals which bookmaker has the best odds at Hannover against St. Pauli.
In the case of Hanover against St. Pauli, the forecast should include the fact that the Lower Saxony also won the first leg 1-0 and have been unbeaten since four encounters with the brown-whites. Added to this is the strange mood that prevailed in Hamburg after the actually redeeming 2-1 victory over Aue.
Against this background, we see little evidence that the 96s, who have also lost just three of their 15 league home games, are losing out in the northern duel.
Further exclusive betting recommendations for the second-highest German division are presented in the betting tips section of the 2nd Bundesliga.
As a relegation team in the Bundesliga, Hannover 96 naturally started the 2019/20 season with the goal of immediately re-entering the top floor of German football. Three game days before the end of the season, however, it is already set in stone that with ten points behind the relegation place nothing will come of it.
It is now all the more important for Kenan Kocak's team to bring the season to a conciliatory end. Lower Saxony can finish with a good result in a place in the upper third of the table and then go into the squad planning to be able to try again in the 2020/21 season.
It is clear that there will be some changes for the two-time German champion. With Sebastian Soto, the first departure is already certain, while Hendrik Weydandt, who has eight goals and three assists in the current second division season, has not extended his contract. The 24-year-old is associated with a number of teams from Hamburg via Bremen to Freiburg, who are potentially playing in the Bundesliga for the new season.
In short: The Hanoverians are facing a change in the course of which it will be very important how many of the top performers and players in the Bundesliga are ready for another season in the 2nd Bundesliga and how many comparable top players due to the radiance of the remaining staff can be pulled ashore.
The penultimate home game of the season is also about polishing up the less than convincing home record. Although the 96s lost only three of their 15 league home games, they were only able to win four home games after eight draws in the HDI arena. In Hanover against St. Pauli, the odds are now not bad that there will be victory number five against the Kiezkicker.
The only bad thing is that Genki Haraguchi, who is troubled by the hip flexor, is likely to be joined by Captain Marvin Bakalorz's already painful retirement. In addition to the lively Japanese, who contributed five goals and four assists for the current season, there is in any case a big question mark.
1. FC St. Pauli managed to gain air in the relegation battle by defeating FC Erzgebirge Aue 2-1 at home in the Millerntor Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Kiezkicker can not be really satisfied with the rather sobering season.
The long-running favorite, who is currently part of the 2nd Bundesliga in the ninth year in a row, has an overall strong and established squad consisting of a number of experienced but also hopeful talents such as Brighton on loan from Leo Östigard. A really strong mix that definitely has the potential to get involved at least in the top third of the league.
Instead, the relegation specter did not only go around among the Hamburgers since the forced break, who could celebrate an important 1-0 home win over relegated team 1. FC Nürnberg after the restart, but then went on to win four league games in which overall only one goal could be scored.
A shortcoming that the much criticized striker Henk Veerman has to blame for, in which the knot finally broke at the weekend. Instead of celebrating this boisterously, the Dutchman gave his trainer Jos Luhukay a meaningful, grim look before it really banged when he went into the cabin.
The 57-year-old Kiezkicker coach made a scene for his attacker because the attacker did not execute a due penalty but let Dimitrios Diamantakos, the designated shooter, take the lead. A scene that said a lot about what is wrong with the brown-whites these days.
Something fundamental does not seem to be right in the team that fell short of expectations over long stretches of the season. No wonder that in Hanover against St. Pauli, a tip on the Kiezkicker point win in the northern duel is not under the very best star.
Nevertheless, the Hamburgers should not allow themselves to prematurely celebrate the supposed relegation, because the cushion of five points to the relegation place could actually be used up in another three defeats on the last three match days - especially because it was on the last match day still goes to a direct competitor, namely SV Wehen Wiesbaden.
It would be all the more important if the brown-whites could kidnap at least one counter from the HDI arena. However, this contrasts with the fact that St. Pauli not only won no victory in the last four competitive games against the Hanoverians, but not even a goal. The Kiezkicker have been waiting for another goal against the Reds for exactly 444 minutes.
