The previous match was only a draw for Union Berlin when they faced Mainz and this time they must win if they want to secure the standings. Their opponent is St Pauli who is one of the promoted teams in the Bundesliga this season and this should not be a difficult match for them. Even so, I think Union Berlin must remain vigilant with the same result if they are careless.
The bookies give big odds for Union Berlin and I think this is quite reasonable considering the level difference is not that far. But as a team that has been successful, I think there is no problem at all to be able to lock in the victory and the rest will be an opportunity for Union Berlin to secure their first victory. Moreover, if we look at the H2H of the two teams that have faced each other before in other competitions, Union Berlin is far superior to St Pauli's victory. So that alone is enough to judge who will win.
In my opinion, Union Berlin is not the kind of team that you can trust to bet on them, even though the bookmakers are placing Union Berlin as the favorite and their opponent is a team that was recently promoted to the Bundesliga. I say this because Union Berlin had difficulty in the game against Mainz, which in my opinion is an unstable team, at least that's what I saw from them last season, and even so, Union Berlin was unable to score more than 1 goal and conceded 1 goal, while St Pauli, despite having lost and conceded 2 goals in the last game, had a good performance in terms of possession and dominated the game, had more opportunities to score but failed, they lost because they were unlucky, when they all went on the attack, they left the defense without protection and in a counterattack they conceded a goal and in the second goal they conceded thanks to a corner. So in my opinion, they can draw or even beat Union Berlin.
