General match analysis

Wolfsburg remain unbeaten in the league, with a record of 2 wins and 2 draws, while St. Pauli have failed to win any of their four matches. The visitors have looked particularly strong away from home: they have won both games, averaging 3 goals and 9 shots on target per match, compared with St. Pauli’s 1 goal and 6.5 shots on target at home. Wolfsburg’s advantage is also evident in the quality of chances created, with their away xG standing at 2.43 versus 2.20 for the hosts, alongside a significantly higher conversion rate: 13% compared with 5%. St. Pauli concede an average of 1.5 goals at home and have yet to keep a clean sheet, which could prove problematic against a side that has scored 13 goals in its last five matches. The hosts average 59% possession, but so far this has translated into 0 wins and a negative goal difference of -1 in home fixtures.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The case for both teams to score is reinforced by their current form: St. Pauli recorded BTTS in 80% of their last 5 matches, while Wolfsburg did so in 60%. During this period, the hosts conceded an average of 1.8 goals per match, identical to the visitors’ figure, which clearly increases the likelihood of both sides allowing the opposition to score. Wolfsburg possess very strong attacking potential, averaging 2.6 goals and an xG of 2.78 across their last five matches, while St. Pauli generated an xG of 1.61. The visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet in every match of the season, while both teams have recorded BTTS in 50% of their matches across the competition. The league also favors open games, with BTTS landing in 61% of matches and an average of 3.64 goals, making a scenario in which both teams score the more likely outcome.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The match profile points to high attacking activity, with St. Pauli averaging 1.95 xG and Wolfsburg as much as 2.43. Wolfsburg have scored an average of 2.6 goals and generated 2.78 xG across their last 5 matches, while St. Pauli have conceded 1.8 goals per game over the same period. The hosts should also create chances, as Wolfsburg have conceded 9 goals in their last 5 matches, or 1.8 per game, while St. Pauli have averaged 1.61 xG. Both teams recorded Over 2.5 goals in 60% of their last five appearances, while the league-wide average is a very high 3.64 goals per match. The strongest signal remains Over 1.5 goals, as the projected 3.70 goals and the attacking numbers of both sides clearly reduce the risk of a match ending with no more than one goal.

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

Wolfsburg are showing clearly superior form: over their last five matches, they averaged 2.6 goals and 1.8 points, whereas St. Pauli scored 1.2 goals and collected only 0.6 points. The visitors are also creating more chances, as reflected by their xG of 2.43 compared with 1.95, as well as an average of 9 shots on target versus 6 for the hosts. Wolfsburg led at the break in 40% of their recent matches, while St. Pauli were trailing at half-time in 40%, making a Wolfsburg lead at the break a realistic scenario. After half-time, Wolfsburg won 60% of their recent second halves, scoring an average of 1.4 goals and keeping a clean sheet in 60% of cases, whereas the hosts conceded 1.2 goals. The strongest HT/FT option is therefore Wolfsburg leading at half-time and securing the victory after the final whistle.
