Key Players
-
Players to watch:
- Can Uzun continues to make his mark up front for Frankfurt with five goals from his seven Bundesliga appearances this term, while fellow attacker Jonathan Burkardt has been the team’s main provider with the ball, five of the Eagles’ 12 goals in their last five matches coming via his boot.
- Andreas Hountondji has been St. Pauli’s best and most reliable striker this year with three goals in six Bundesliga outings, so he should lead the line on Saturday.
Betting Insights
- The bookmakers are making Frankfurt strong favorites here at 1.66, while St. Pauli are 4.5 and the draw is 4.1.
- Our selection is for the Over 2.5 goals market at 1.57, given that the home team will want to attack in this one and St. Pauli have little option but to press high and make the game open.
- Toppmöller’s system is a free-flowing 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 with attacking full-backs and a vertical passing style of play which lends itself to quick and high tempo transitions in the attacking third. This approach should be factored into any Eintracht Frankfurt vs FC St. Pauli betting tips.
Prediction
Frankfurt have not beaten St. Pauli in the Bundesliga since a 2-2 in the most recent meeting at this ground, but we’re backing the host team to come out on top here with a -1 handicap busting score.
