St Pauli vs Hoffenheim
It is a battle of the strugglers as St Pauli host Hoffenheim in a Friday night German Bundesliga fixture.
Both teams have been poor throughout the season and are hoping to avoid dropping into the relegation zone. However, Hoffenheim appear to do their best work on the road lately and can avoid defeat in this one.
St Pauli Form
St Pauli have struggled in the Bundesliga this season and are currently just two points above the bottom three. They have shown little signs of improvement lately and head into Friday’s clash winless in their last six matches, suffering four defeats in that run before battling to a 1-1 draw at Wolfsburg last time out.
Things are not much better at home for St Pauli, who are winless in five of their last six Bundesliga matches in front of their fans. However, they do have some key results at home like the 3-1 win over Holstein Kiel and the 3-0 victory over Union Berlin.
Those wins over Holstein Kiel and Union Berlin highlight some quality in St Pauli's attack and manager Alexander Blessin will be hoping for a similar performance on Friday. However, they have been poor at the back, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six Bundesliga matches.
Hoffenheim Form
Hoffenheim have a little more breathing space in their battle against relegation, sitting six points clear of the bottom three. Christian Ilzer's team are showing some good form at the moment and are unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga matches, playing out a 1-1 draw with Heidenheim last time out.
An interesting thing about Hoffenheim lately is that they appear to fare better on their travels, winning four of their last five away matches across all competitions. Among their results in that run is a 3-1 victory at Werder Bremen.
Hoffenheim also show their attacking quality on the road, although they remain vulnerable at the back. That trait has seen them score and concede in four of their last five Bundesliga away matches, with all four fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.
Head to Head
Hoffenheim and St Pauli have claimed two wins each and as many draws from six previous matches. The visitors claimed a 2-0 home victory in the reverse fixture back in November.
Verdict
Hoffenheim may have lost at home in the reverse fixture but come into this clash with an impressive record on their recent travels. They have won four of their last five matches on the road, and given St Pauli's poor record at home, an away win or draw can be considered.
The visitors have scored and conceded in four of their last five away matches, with the four fixtures producing over 2.5 goals. This clash could be set to offer up a similar outcome.
