Saint Pauli vs Union Berlin

HAMBURG (Interstat) — A Bundesliga fixture with contrasting fortunes on the line is set for Sunday as FC St. Pauli hosts Union Berlin at the Millerntor-Stadion.

Union Berlin (6-4-3) arrives following a cup upset, a 3-1 extra-time loss to third-tier Chemnitzer FC on Nov. 8. That result halted momentum from a impressive 2-2 league draw with Bayern Munich the same day. Union’s form has been otherwise strong, including a 5-1 rout of Eintracht Frankfurt on Oct. 24.

St. Pauli (1-6-6) is mired in a slump, coming off a 2-1 loss to Freiburg on Nov. 9. The club has managed just one win this season and is winless in its last five competitive matches across all competitions, a stretch that includes a 4-0 defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

According to the Interstat game simulator, the match is projected to end in a 1-1 draw. The result would extend St. Pauli’s struggles while halting Union Berlin’s positive league momentum.

Following this match, Union Berlin continues its Bundesliga campaign at home against Heidenheim on Nov. 29. St. Pauli faces a daunting trip to face Bayern Munich, also on Nov. 29.
