St. Pauli take on the visitors Koln in the round 30 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, April 17th at Millerntor-Stadion (Hamburg).
St. Pauli managed to return to the Bundesliga in 2024 after a long absence. Unlike their previous attempt, they succeeded in extending their stay at this level. Their recent form, however, has been rather modest, with the team struggling to pick up points consistently. They often fail to convert competitive performances into wins, which keeps them under pressure in the standings. Back then, they also had some luck, collecting only 32 points over the season — yet even that was enough to finish 14th. Now the results are quite similar, and it could again be sufficient to secure survival. In March, though, they suffered consecutive defeats away to Borussia Mönchengladbach and at home to SC Freiburg. After the international break, they managed only a 1–1 draw against Union Berlin. Against FC Bayern Munich, as expected, they had no answers, conceding five unanswered goals.

Köln do not want to turn into a “yo-yo club.” “The Billy Goats” remain a very popular club, even by high local standards. However, their recent results have often been disappointing — although they did reach European competitions not long ago, last season they played in the 2. Bundesliga. Their current form is also inconsistent, with the team losing around half of their matches. Since February, they have struggled to secure victories, often settling for draws instead. They managed to win promotion immediately by finishing top, but now the side coached by Lukas Kwasniok are struggling, losing half of their matches. March, however, ended on a slightly positive note with a couple of draws. Moreover, in Frankfurt they produced an entertaining 2–2 against Eintracht Frankfurt. In the latest round, they secured an important win, beating a direct rival Werder Bremen 3–1.
“The Billy Goats” had a run of five consecutive victories, but in December they were held to a draw at home by the side from Hamburg. The teams are considered evenly matched. However, in spring “The Billy Goats” have looked more solid and clearly better than their opponents — backing Köln with a draw no bet looks like the right choice.
Prediction for the match: Koln to with with 0,0 handicap.
