The game got off to a great start as Benedict Hollerbach scored in the first minute of the game and Nadiem Amiri equalized in the fifth minute.

FC St. Pauli vs Union Berlin Prediction

Die Kiezkicker have won two of their last six league outings, with both registered in away games. They have failed to score in seven of their eight Bundesliga home games, which is a cause for concern. They have won just one of their last 11 meetings against the visitors.

Eric Smith and Adam Dzwigala are suspended for this match. Simon Zoller, Sascha Burchert, Connor Metcalfe, and Robert Wagner are sidelined with injuries while Karol Mets faces a late fitness test.

Die Eisernen opened their goalscoring account for 2025 last week while also recording their first win of the year and will look to continue that form here. They have lost their last five away games, conceding 13 goals while failing to score in three.

Andrej Ilić will miss this match due to an ankle issue. Yannic Stein is also not an option here while Frederik Rønnow and Kevin Vogt are doubts.

Both teams have been in poor touch recently and, considering their goalscoring form, a low-scoring draw will likely ensue.

Prediction: FC St. Pauli 1-1 Union Berlin
