Borussia Mönchengladbach hosts St. Pauli in a matchup between two teams bottom of the Bundesliga table. The hosts are 12th with 25 points, while the visitors are 16th with 24 points. Despite their low position, the St. Pauli are clearly superior to their opponents and must take three points to avoid relegation. In their last five matches, Borussia have lost only to Bayern and Eintracht Frankfurt, while beating Union Berlin.
St. Pauli have been lackluster on the road: they have failed to score in six of their last 10 away matches. The Hamburg team is experiencing colossal attacking problems, with only 23 goals in 25 matches (the worst in the league). In the first half of the season, Borussia Dortmund crushed their opponents 4-0 on the road, and there's no reason to believe things will be any different at home.
The hosts have a huge advantage in experience and players, while the visitors traditionally struggle against teams in the top half of the table. We expect a confident 2-0 or 3-1 victory for the "foals."
