Freiburg vs St. Pauli Prediction 28 Sep 2024

⚽ Bundesliga - Round 5 Preview

🏟 Europa-Park Stadion (Freiburg)

Freiburg’s impressive start to the Bundesliga season continued with a dominant 3-0 victory over Heidenheim, marking their joint-strongest start at this stage since the 2008/09 season in the 2.Bundesliga. This success comes with a bit of nostalgia, as their current manager Julian Schuster was a key player during that promotion campaign. Freiburg’s home form has seen a turnaround this season, with two wins at the Europa-Park Stadion despite conceding first in both games. Last season, they struggled at home when falling behind, managing only one win in such situations. Their last clean sheet at home dates back to January, which may concern fans ahead of the clash with St. Pauli.

St. Pauli, promoted this season, have yet to win a Bundesliga match (D1, L3), though they managed a surprising draw against Leipzig last weekend. Their poor form stretches over 16 top-flight games without a victory, dating back 13 years to their last stint in the Bundesliga. If they don’t turn things around soon, they risk facing an immediate relegation. They have yet to lead in an away game this season, and despite a historic win at Freiburg in their ill-fated 2010/11 campaign, their chances look slim here.

💡 Freiburg vs St. Pauli Prediction

Freiburg’s strong start to the season and improved home form make them favorites against a St. Pauli side that’s struggling to find their footing in the Bundesliga. Despite St. Pauli’s fighting spirit, especially after their draw with Leipzig, Freiburg’s attacking prowess should be enough to secure a 2-1 victory.
