Ah, now we're dipping our toes into the bustling world of Bundesliga! We have St. Pauli vying against Union Berlin. A contest that may not exactly be the clash of the titans, but nonetheless, it's bound to scatter some popcorn across the living room floor.
For Union Berlin, they're walking in with Alexander Schwolow between the sticks. His performance this season’s been pretty solid with a rating of 7.00 and a total of 9 saves. Over at St. Pauli, they've got Nikola Vasilj guarding their goal who's been a fine performer with a sturdy 7.17 rating and 10 saves.
Now, let's walk through the key players for both teams, shall we? Union Berlin brings to the field Diogo Leite and Jordan Siebatcheu. Both hovering around 7.10 ratings, but frankly speaking, they've barely made the goalkeepers sweat with a couple of shots on the goal each and no goals. Not particularly the stuff legends are made of, eh?
St. Pauli, on the other hand, has got Johannes Eggestein swinging their flag high. With a 7.10 rating and a goal to his name, he seems to be the only one who remembered that the aim is to poke the ball in the net. Morgan Guilavogui also chimes in with a goal, albeit a lower rating of 6.90.
Looking back at the history books, Union Berlin did have the upper hand in their previous duel, managing a slender 1-0 victory. And if you factor in the recent performances, both teams share the same number of wins in the regular season, though St. Pauli has experienced slightly more heartache with 11 losses compared to Union Berlin's 9.
In light of all these titbits, drum roll please... Albert’s Prediction: Union Berlin by 1
