St Pauli to Win
After losing their last two preseason club friendlies, Erzgebirge Aue kickstarted their 2021/22 2. Bundesliga campaign on the wrong foot. They could only manage a 0-0 draw with Nurnberg and now take on the challenge of St Pauli. The visitors took home the points on their last trip to the Erzgebirgsstadion and will be looking to build on their 3-0 win over Holstein Keil. The bookmakers are in favour of them taking home the three points on offer and we back their call.
BTTS – No
With clean sheets in their last matches, a repeat of the same is expected in this German second division meeting. Erzgebirge were lucky not to concede against Nurnberg who had far greater chances on goal in their nil-nil draw. They have a tough task on their hands in the form of St Pauli, who were ruthless in attack and managed to shut out Holstein Keil.
Under 2.5 Goals
The last seven matches between Erzgebirge Aue and St Pauli has finished with an Over 2.5 goals scoreline. Both sides troubled the scorers in those H2H duels, a trend that should come to a conclusion in this meeting. Aue found it difficult to create noteworthy chances against Nurnberg and will have to play out of their skins to test the St Pauli defence. With St Pauli making their first away trip of the campaign, we expect them to keep affairs under wraps and conclude the affair with an Under 2.5 goals scoreline.

Match Preview of Erzgebirge Aue vs St Pauli
Erzgebirge Aue
Aleksey Shpilevsky saw his side finish in the bottom half of the table last season. Aue struggled to score regularly, an affliction that seems to be haunting them to date. It was highlighted against Nurnberg as their midfield failed to provide Nicolas-Gerrit Kuhn and co. reliable service. Nevertheless, Shpilevsky will be pleased with the clean sheet managed by Dirk Carlson and his supporting cast.
St Pauli
For a team looking to make the jump to the German top-flight football and change the dynamics, their League Privateers nickname is apt for their ambitions. Timo Schultz's men gave a good account of their abilities in their opening fixture against Holstein Keil and he will surely want more of the same on the road against Aue. The show was run by Daniel-Kofi Kyereh and the midfielder will have greater responsibility this time around.
