Match Prediction: Eintracht vs. St. Pauli
Frankfurt has had a shaky start to the season, securing just three wins in seven rounds (1 draw, 3 losses). Even at home, Eintracht struggles to achieve maximum results: in their last four home Bundesliga matches, they have won only once, losing the last two to Union and Bayern, conceding a total of seven goals.
St. Pauli may not shine in away games, but they fight for points until the end. In their last eight away league matches, they have suffered three defeats (2 wins, 3 draws), but in only one of those losses did they lose by more than one goal. Additionally, last season, they drew 2-2 with Eintracht in Frankfurt.
Considering Frankfurt's Champions League commitments this week, I believe the visitors can put up a strong fight. My prediction: St. Pauli with a handicap (+1)
* Each team's lineup is based on their starting XI in their last match in this tournament.
