FC St. Pauli (Home)
- St. Pauli have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 4 of their 7 home matches in the Bundesliga 2025/2026, conceding 15 goals.
- St. Pauli have drawn their last 2 games 0-0 against Bundesliga mainstays Mainz 05 and Werder Bremen (a friendly), which illustrates the defensive resolve of the hosts, but also their lack of quality in the final third.
RB Leipzig (Away)
- RB Leipzig have won 3, drawn 2 and lost 3 of their 8 away games in the Bundesliga 2025/2026 to date, scoring 1.38 goals per game on average.
- Ole Werner has instilled a new identity at Leipzig since taking over in July 2025, and although it has not been perfect, the Red Bulls have adapted to the 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 system by blending their usual high-pressing game with a more structured build-up and greater discipline.
- Their current position in the Bundesliga 2025/2026 table, 4th with 29 points from 15 games, is a true reflection of their league form, with only 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from their last 5 outings.
Head-to-Head
Leipzig have the superior league record and head-to-head record in this game, but St. Pauli have found their feet in recent weeks, going unbeaten in their last 5.
Key Players
- Martijn Kaars has been in exceptional form for St. Pauli over the last 5 games, scoring 3 of their 5 goals in that run, and Andreas Hountondji has contributed 4 Bundesliga goals in 12 appearances as their focal point up front.
- Leipzig’s Christoph Baumgartner has been more prolific with 6 Bundesliga goals in 15 games, so he will be the man to watch in the opposition’s box.
Betting Insights

- RB Leipzig are 1.97 favorites and St. Pauli are 4.07 underdogs, which is understandable given the huge gulf in both league position and form, but the visitors should edge out a hard-fought 3 points here.
