St. Pauli hosts Hamburger SV in round 3 of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, August 13th at Millerntor-Stadion (Hamburg)
St. Pauli is unlikely to set itself particularly high and ambitious goals for this season, as well as for the previous ones. In the last championship, the Pirates of the League rounded out the top ten of the standings, and this was perceived as quite a worthy result. Now they can be all the more pleased with the start to the new season. St. Pauli defeated Holstein in the first round (3-0) and then tied against Erzgebirge Aue (0-0). And last Saturday the Pirates of the League managed to beat Magdeburg in the cup away match due to Burgstaller’s brace (2-3).

Hamburger SV has already repeated the same scenario several times. Claiming to return to the Bundesliga, the most popular team took only 4th place and remained even without playoffs. So, some may have an impression that the Red Shorts can get stuck in the 2nd division of the country. The popular team is making a new attempt to finally return to the usual level of the German football elite under the management of Timo Schulz. But after the victory over Schalke in the first round, his new players already misfired, sharing points at home with the league's newcomer, Dynamo Dresden. But the Red Shorts partially made up for this, having managed to beat Eintracht Braunschweig at the weekend (1-2). Truth be told, the Lions are now playing (and badly) in the country's 3rd division, and they were eliminated in the early stage of the German Cup. Now it is much more important for Hamburger SV to win in the championship.
St. Pauli has been successfully playing against Hamburg lately. The Red Shorts won only one match of the last eight and suffered four defeats. In the last championship, the Pirates of the League gained four out of six points. Now both teams seem to be in good shape and will be competing for victory. But there are problems in defense, so we expect productive football.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
