[Tips]:
St. Pauli suffered a narrow 2-3 away defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the last league round, managing only 1 draw and 2 losses in their recent three league matches, failing to taste victory. Their overall form remains sluggish, with defensive stability lacking. In contrast, Hamburg drew 0-0 at home against Borussia Monchengladbach in the last round, recording only 2 draws and 2 losses in their last four league games, also without a win. Their overall competitive state is far from ideal. Both teams are currently stuck in winless slumps, with unconvincing performances in both attack and defense, making it difficult for either side to demonstrate absolute strength for a secure victory. However, considering the overall trend of the season and squad depth, Hamburg hold a slight edge in recent form comparison and show some resilience in away matches. Taking everything into account, this Northern Derby may see both sides locked in a stalemate, but Hamburg might be better at seizing opportunities under pressure. Therefore, the away team are expected to keep unbeaten.
