Odds: 6/4 @ 1xBet

Looking to extend on their iconic Champions League charge on Saturday afternoon, Hoffenheim will welcome St. Pauli to the PreZero Arena.

Starting with the hosts, while Hoffenheim might have found themselves at the heart of an infamous Bundesliga relegation scrap last season, Christian Ilzer’s side have come roaring back in an iconic fashion this time around. Breaking a string of unwanted records this year, the Dark Blues open Saturday’s fixtures remarkably sat in bronze medal position among Germany’s elite and they are sat firmly in the driving seat to claim a famous Champions League ticket in 2026. Last seen at the PreZero Arena storming their way to a routine 3-0 romp against Freiburg, the former Strum Graz has seen his squad suffer just a single defeat from any of their previous 10 consecutive appearances – a purple patch that stems all the way back to December 7th. Signing off January with a 3-1 victory against Union Berlin, Saturday’s hosts find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Likewise, the German high-flyers have won all of their last eight consecutive domestic showdowns at the PreZero Arena.

As for the visitors, making an immediate return to winning ways last weekend as they secured an essential 2-1 victory at home against Werder Bremen, St. Pauli have shown some signs of life over the past few weeks. However, still opening Saturday’s showdown sat in the relegation play-off spot, Alexander Blessin’s side are widely regarded as a standout bottom-three candidate in 2026. Watching their DFP Pokal adventure come to a thumping end on February 3rd as they slumped to a 3-0 loss away at Bayer Leverkusen, the Neighbourhood Kickers have also gained an unwanted reputation for their glaring issues on the road. Signing off January with a 2-1 defeat against Augsburg, St. Pauli have lost all of their previous five consecutive showdowns outside of Hamburg by an aggregate score of 14-4. It should also be highlighted, the former Royale Union boss has seen his relegation scrappers register just a sole Bundesliga clean sheet on their travels since the end of August.
