Hannover take on the visitors St. Pauli in the round 2 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Saturday, July 23th at HDI-Arena (Hannover).
Hannover immediately showed that they should not be overestimated. The Reds were in the playoffs of the Europa League just 10 years ago. But in football, a lot can change over such a period of time, especially in a competitive German environment. Gradually, the team got stuck in the Bundesliga 2 (although after the first fall, they were able to return to the elite, but only for a season). In the last championship, only 11th place was taken. This does not seem to suit the leadership - then in the offseason Greuther Furth's coach, Leitl, was lured away. But even under Stefan, the start of a new draw frankly did not work out. Kaiserslautern, back in Bundesliga 2, managed to snatch victory last Friday by scoring the decisive goal in the 2nd added minute!

St. Pauli are unlikely to set themselves maximum goals. The "Pirates of the League" managed to rise to the top division of the country for a year - in 2010/2011. But they didn’t reach that level, and, frankly, in Bundesliga 2 they can’t be called a favorite, but a rather strong mid-table side. This is also evidenced by the result of the last draw, when the team from Hamburg came to the finish line 5th. Timo Schulz's wards started the new draw rather controversially. On the one hand, they won, also scoring against their opponent, Nuremberg, three times. But at the same time, St. Pauli played at home. And it seems that he relaxed too early, even though the visitors scored their first goal immediately after the break. And it's also lucky that 3-2 was fixed just before the final whistle.
Hannover is generally successful against St. Pauli, including recent matches: for the past three times in a row, he beats the club from Hamburg. Judging by the quotes, the hosts are more likely to win from the match in Hannover. But both clubs got off to a strong start and can continue in the same way. We bet on "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
