Match description
Köln is my pick: they have 43 goals this season versus St. Pauli’s 25 and have scored 10 goals in the last 5 matches compared to the hosts’ just 2. Over the last five games Köln averages 1.2 points per match versus 0.4 for St. Pauli, and the visitors register more shots (12.29 per game on average versus 10.43 for the hosts). In terms of chance quality, the visitors’ xG on the road is 1.35 compared to the home xG of 1.29, although Köln concedes a slightly higher average xG against (1.71 vs 1.40). Both teams are vulnerable defensively — they concede on average 1.79 goals per game, and St. Pauli have let in as many as 11 goals in the last 5 matches versus 9 for Köln, which further weakens the hosts. Additionally, St. Pauli score an average of 1.00 goal at home and fail to score in 43% of their home games, while Köln have a lower percentage of goalless away matches (21%), so I give the visitors a better chance to win.
