Match Prediction: Bayern Munich vs. St. Pauli
March has not been the best month for the Munich team. They have dropped points twice, and in matches against opponents they should have beaten without issues. Now Bayern has a third attempt to defeat a representative from the lower half of the standings. However, St. Pauli, thanks to their defense, is a very tough opponent even for a title contender.
Only two clubs in the current championship have managed to score more than two goals against Hamburg. Bayern defeated Alexander Blessin's side in the first round with just a 1-0 scoreline. St. Pauli has conceded 30 goals, with only Munich and Leverkusen having better records. However, no team has scored fewer goals than Hamburg.
Vincent Kompany's side has not scored more than three times in 5 of their last 6 Bundesliga matches. During the international break, 14 of Bayern's first-team players were away with their national teams. It is unlikely that the Munich team will be able to put on a high-scoring performance. Especially since very few teams can do so against Hamburg.
My prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
