St. Pauli welcome Hannover 96 at Millerntor Stadion, Hamburg on Sunday, Mar 7 at 1:30 PM in a 2. Bundesliga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

St. Pauli come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Hannover 96 travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. St. Pauli won their last outing, while Hannover 96 suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — St. Pauli and Hannover 96 have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–2D–4W). Their last encounter ended in St. Pauli won 2–3.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow St. Pauli win or a draw looks most likely.
