RB Leipzig<\/a> host St. Pauli<\/a> in a clash of contrasting fortunes at the Red Bull Arena, with the hosts pushing for a top-three finish while St. Pauli are fighting for their Bundesliga<\/a> survival. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leipzig\u2019s dominant home form and attacking prowess present a stern test for a St. Pauli side struggling at both ends of the pitch. Kick-off is at 14:30 on Saturday 9 May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on the gulf in attacking output and defensive solidity between these sides, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We’re particularly confident in a high-scoring Leipzig win given their nearly two goals per game average and St. Pauli’s frequent defensive lapses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Over 3.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n6\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(45.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nLeipzig games average over 3 goals, and St. Pauli have conceded 55 in 32 matches. With Leipzig\u2019s attack firing and St. Pauli’s defence often breached, this could become a high-scoring affair. Odds of 6\/5<\/a> (45.5%) look generous.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score: No<\/strong><\/td>\n21\/20 @ Matchbook<\/a>
(48.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nSt. Pauli have averaged just 0.84 goals per match, the lowest scoring rate in the league, while Leipzig have kept 11 clean sheets. There is value in backing at least one side to blank, with 21\/20<\/a> (48.8%) a solid price given the data.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
