St. Pauli welcome VfL Bochum at Millerntor Stadion, Hamburg on Saturday, Nov 21 at 8:30 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). VfL Bochum travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. St. Pauli head into this on the back of a defeat, while VfL Bochum arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

In 10 previous meetings, St. Pauli lead 2–4 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in VfL Bochum won 2–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives St. Pauli a slight edge, but VfL Bochum are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
