RB Leipzig comes into this match with a mixed recent run, having won two of their last five games but also drawing three times. They are finding it hard to get wins consistently at the moment. FC St. Pauli has been struggling to win lately, with just one loss and four draws in their last five matches, so they are also in a bit of a tough patch.

Looking at their recent meetings, the games have been very close and tight. Their last three matches have all been draws, with two of them finishing level at one goal each and one ending without any goals. This suggests another very competitive and possibly cagey match is on the cards.
