Hoffenheim's recent form has been difficult, with only one win and a draw in their last five matches. They have been conceding several goals in those games. St. Pauli are also struggling, having lost four of their last five and only managing a single draw.

Looking at recent meetings between these two, the games have not been close; one team has won comfortably each time. Given both sides' current struggles, this could be a very open match.
