Arminia Bielefeld vs FC St. Pauli — Tips & Analysis

Over 2.75: Bielefeld play in open games, and that is the case for this pick. 10 of their last 14 games had 3 or more goals, and their games average more than 3 goals in total. At home they have been strong and busy. They have won 3 and tied 3 in 6 home games without losing, scoring more than 2 goals a game and letting in a goal a game. St. Pauli are struggling, but they do not sit back. They are still looking for a first win in a run of 14, with 5 ties and 9 losses, and they sit 16th in the relegation play-off spot. Their trouble comes at both ends. They score less than a goal a game and let in almost 2, and 7 of their last 14 games had 3 or more goals. Their record also looks worse than the team really is. It mixes second tier games with top flight matches against Bayern, Leipzig and Wolfsburg. So expect St. Pauli to have a go and to get caught out at the back. A 2-1 to Bielefeld is the likely finish. That is three goals, so this one wants the game to stay open and find a fourth. The worry is the away version of St. Pauli. On the road they barely score, and the last 14 meetings between these clubs averaged just over 2 goals. We still want the busier game.
