*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
St Pauli gained promotion to the Bundesliga after a 14-year absence. However, their return to the German top flight has not gone as well as they had hoped, as they suffered three defeats in as many league matches so far.
Bearing St Pauli's recent struggles in mind, RB Leipzig are the expected winners at 13/20 (1.65). Teams with these odds usually have a 60% probability of winning.

Player to watch: Antonio Nusa
Antonio Nusa had an impressive start to his first season with RB Leipzig, with at least one goal involvement in each of his first three appearances for the club. However, the teenager has not scored nor registered an assist in four appearances for club or country since then. As Leipzig gear up for their trip to St Pauli, it will be interesting to see if Nusa will get back to scoring ways.
