St. Pauli vs Hansa Rostock Prediction & Betting Tips (26 April)

Hansa Rostock is under pressure after a defeat against Magdeburg and needs to show a strong performance in the next match in order to get back on the road to success. The team's defensive strategy in recent games has resulted in at least one team keeping a clean sheet in five of the last six matches. This tactical discipline could be particularly important against the offensively strong St. Pauli.

Coach Mersad Selimbegović will have to rely on a structured defensive performance in order to overcome St. Pauli's home strength and gain important points in the table.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from each of the previous five St. Pauli matches in the 2. Bundesliga, so there is no reason to see this pattern changing against Hansa Rostock. One reason for this is that it has also been the case in each of the Toffees’ last three away games at this level, so both teams are on the same page.
