St. Pauli vs RB Leipzig Preview

St. Pauli welcome RB Leipzig to the Millerntor-Stadion on Tuesday evening in a Bundesliga encounter between two sides struggling for consistency. Both teams suffered defeats in their most recent outings and will be desperate to return to winning ways, though the contrasting quality and expectations between the clubs make this a fascinating fixture.

St. Pauli’s most recent outing brought a narrow 3-2 away defeat at Borussia Dortmund, a result that extended their winless run but demonstrated their ability to compete with the league’s top teams. Prior to that weekend setback, Alexander Blessin’s side suffered a 2-1 away loss at VfL Wolfsburg, another disappointing result on their travels. Earlier in this sequence, the Hamburg-based club earned a hard-fought goalless away draw at Mainz, a result that showcased their defensive organization. Before that, St. Pauli secured a valuable 2-1 home victory over 1. FC Heidenheim 1846, their only win in this five-match period. The struggling club also earned a 1-1 away draw at FC Cologne. With one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five matches, St. Pauli have shown resilience but struggle to collect points consistently.

RB Leipzig’s recent form reveals alarming inconsistency for a club with Champions League ambitions. Their most recent fixture delivered a humiliating 5-1 home defeat to Bayern Munich, a result that exposed serious defensive vulnerabilities and raised questions about Ole Werner’s tactics. Prior to that damaging loss, Leipzig secured a comfortable 2-0 home victory over SC Freiburg, demonstrating their quality when functioning properly. Earlier in this run, they suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, another setback that highlighted their struggles against elite opposition. Before that, Leipzig endured a disappointing 3-1 away loss at 1. FC Union Berlin. The Red Bulls also produced an impressive 6-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt in this period. With two wins and three defeats from their last five fixtures, Leipzig desperately need stability and points to salvage their season.

The head-to-head record is evenly balanced, with both teams winning two of the last five meetings and one draw between them. Most recently, RB Leipzig claimed a 2-0 home victory in February 2025, having also secured a 4-2 home win in the German Cup in October 2024. The sides played out a goalless draw at the Millerntor-Stadion in September 2024, while St. Pauli won 1-0 at home in February 2016 and claimed a 1-0 away victory in August 2015.
