Schalke vs St. Pauli Prediction & Betting Tips (1 March)

Simultaneous opening this Friday March 1, 2024 at 6:30 p.m. in the legendary Veltins Arena based in Gelsenkirchen of the 24th day of 2.Bundesliga in Germany. This match, unbalanced in view of the general classification, will therefore see the formation of Schalke 04 with 26 points receiving the leader, Sankt Pauli who has 48 units on the clock. The local players only have a small lead of only 4 units in the red zone, for a team which fell from the Bundesliga at the end of last season, the shadow of a second consecutive relegation dangerously threatens the club.

Indeed with an unfavorable record of 13 losses in the space of 23 games, it is quite logical to see the team stuck in the bottom of the rankings. Recently, Schalke lost twice, including last weekend 3-0 at Magdeburg and 15 days ago against Kiel 1-0. Between the two, a glimmer of hope came with a 1-0 victory against Wehen. Facing them, therefore, stands the best team in the second division which has achieved two wins in a row, after a narrow defeat on February 10, 1-0 against Magdeburg, before winning by the same score against Braunschweig. Last weekend in a match rich in goals, the visitors won by a score of 4 goals to 3 on their trips to Kiel.

Over the course of their last 17 2. Bundesliga matches, St. Pauli have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes on 13 occasions, so the St. Pauli has not been entirely responsible for the excitement levels going up. As for an impressive Schalke side, 12 of their previous 15 top-flight games have also been devoid of clean sheets at either end.
