Holstein Kiel vs St. Pauli Prediction and Betting Tips | April 12th 2025
Holstein Kiel will host St. Pauli at the Holstein-Stadion on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Bundesliga campaign. The home side have endured a difficult debut Bundesliga campaign and have work to do in the final six games ot the season if they are to avoid the drop as they currently sit rock-bottom in the table.
They picked up a good point in their 1-1 draw against Mainz last weekend with Alexander Bernhardsson scoring a stunning opener in the first half before their opponents drew level 15 minutes from normal time.
St. Pauli have also had their struggles upon promotion this season but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They played out a 1-1 draw against Europe-chasing Borussia Monchengladbach last time out and will be gutted not to have come away with all three points as they were the better side on the day.
The visitors sit 15th in the league table with 26 points from 28 matches. They are four points above the sole relegation playoff spot and will be looking to at least retain that advantage this weekend.

Holstein Kiel vs St. Pauli Prediction
Die Storche are winless in their last four Bundesliga outings and have won just twice in the competition since the turn of the year. They are without a win in their last five home games and could struggle here.
Similarly, the Kiezkicker have won just one of their last nine matches. They have, however, put out commendable performances in recent games and should do enough to secure the points against a fellow struggling side this week.
