Stadium: MHPArena (Stuttgart)
21.12.2024 17:30
A string of four consecutive victories across all competitions has Stuttgart in a strong position. Last weekend, they won their away match against Heidenheim by a score of 3-1, which allowed them to move up to sixth place in the Bundesliga standings. Stuttgart has won three of their most recent four league matches while drawing one of them. They will be presented with a wonderful opportunity to finish the year in a positive frame of mind. For Saturday afternoon at MHPArena, Sebastian Hoeness' soldiers will be hosting St. Pauli.
St. Pauli enters the battle in a state of mind that is opposed to hers. Over the last weekend, they were defeated by Werder Bremen at home and were unable to generate anything in the final third of the field. With 11 goals scored in the first 14 rounds of the season, St. Pauli has 11 goals scored, which is tied for the lowest offensive record in the division. In addition, they have won four of their previous five league matches, although they have lost five of their seven matches played away from home in the Bundesliga during this season.

Since suffering a crushing loss to Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League by a score of 5-1, Stuttgart has gone five games without suffering a loss. The positive run of form that Die Schwaben has been experiencing began with a draw against Werder Bremen. Subsequently, they went on to accomplish victories over Jahn Regensburg and Union Berlin in the DFB-Pokal and the league, respectively. They went on to win their home match against Young Boys by a score of 5-1, which boosted their chances of making it to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Stuttgart's comeback to domestic competition was marked by a 3-1 victory over Heidenheim on the road. This victory came after the club had defeated the Swiss team. Stuttgart was able to secure its first league victory away from home since September. This victory placed Stuttgart in sixth place, four points behind the top four teams in the league. Throughout the calendar year, Stuttgart has been a formidable opponent on their own soil, as evidenced by the fact that they have only lost one of their fifteen home league games in 2024 (W10, D4).
FC St Pauli
St. Pauli is now in a position where they are one point above the bottom three after playing in 14 league matches, winning three, drawing two, and losing nine of those matches. In recent years, the freshly promoted team has struggled to accumulate points, as seen by the fact that they have lost four of their past five league matches. Before claiming a 3-1 victory against Holstein Kiel at the end of November, they started that run of games with successive losses to Bayern Munich and Borussia Monchengladbach. After that, they won an important match against Holstein Kiel.
Unfortunately for St. Pauli, they have not been able to build upon that success in their first two matches of December. They were defeated by Bayer Leverkusen, the champions, by a score of 2-1, and then they were defeated by Werder Bremen by a score of 2-0. The fact that St. Pauli has already suffered two consecutive defeats puts them in jeopardy of closing the year 2024 with three consecutive losses. As St Pauli prepares to travel to MHP Arena in the hopes of gaining at least one point against a Stuttgart club that is currently in good form, St Pauli will be hoping that they can avoid that scenario.

After reviewing the form of both teams as well as the player availability, it appears that Stuttgart's supporters will have yet another enjoyable afternoon. In the eleven most recent matches that have taken place at MHPArena, the home team has a remarkable record versus St. Pauli, with ten victories and one draw. Stuttgart also comes into tonight with far more positive emotions, having won four consecutive matches across all competitions.
Every single one of these three triumphs has resulted in at least three goals being scored by them. Hence, I recommend getting on Stuttgart to win. A cautious better may also go for Stuttgart win or draw or Stuttgart to win either half, however, this comes with little odds.
