Archived pre-match analysis

This analysis was prepared before kick-off. The conclusions use only information available before the match and do not include the final result or post-match statistics.

General match analysis

St. Pauli have the edge in results over their last five matches, collecting 6 points compared with Karlsruher SC’s 4, while the visitors have lost 3 games. The hosts conceded 6 goals during this period, whereas the visitors shipped 12, which tilts the balance in St. Pauli’s favor despite their modest return of just one win in five matches. At home, St. Pauli average 19 shots and generate an xG of 2.03, but score only 1 goal per game, so finishing remains a weakness. Karlsruher SC also create chances, with an away xG of 1.92, and have drawn both of their matches on the road so far. The hosts’ defensive advantage and stronger recent results support backing them to win, although the visitors’ run of away draws means a share of the points remains a realistic outcome.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

In their last 5 matches, both teams scored in 80% of St. Pauli’s games and 60% of Karlsruher SC’s, supporting a BTTS - Yes pick. The visitors conceded an average of 2.4 goals per match during this period, while the hosts scored 1.2, giving St. Pauli a solid chance of finding the net. Karlsruher SC, meanwhile, averages 1.92 xG, while their opponents allow chances worth 1.99 xG, increasing the likelihood of an away goal. Caution is warranted because season data shows that both teams failed to score in 50% of their matches. However, their recent BTTS record and the number of chances they create tip the assessment towards Yes.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The strongest signal points to Over 1.5 goals: this outcome occurred in 75% of St. Pauli’s matches, compared with just 50% for Karlsruher SC, so the forecast accounts for some uncertainty. The home side concede an average of 2.5 goals, while their opponents create chances worth an average of 1.92 xG, increasing the likelihood of goals for the visitors. Meanwhile, St. Pauli average 1.83 xG, and Karlsruher SC have conceded 2.4 goals per match over their last five games. With a projected total of 3.14 goals, the 1.5 line has a clearer edge than 2.5, particularly as at least three goals were scored in only 40% of the home side’s last five matches.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

A half-time draw followed by a St. Pauli win at full-time looks the most likely outcome. The hosts have averaged just 0.2 goals in the first halves of their last five matches and were level at the break in 2 of those 5, so an early lead is difficult to anticipate. Their recent form after the break has been better: they averaged 1.0 goal and won the second half in 3 of 5 matches, while Karlsruher SC have lost 3 of their last 5 matches and conceded an average of 2.4 goals in those games. However, this is not a clear-cut pick, as St. Pauli lost 3 of the 4 home matches considered, while Karlsruher SC did not concede after half-time in either of their 2 away matches.
