FC St. Pauli vs Hamburger SV Prediction 23 January 2026
Added on 22 January, 2026
The nineteenth round of the Bundesliga kicks off this Friday with a crucial derby between St. Pauli and Hamburg.
St. Pauli are struggling through the familiar “second-season syndrome” and currently sit rock bottom of the table with just 12 points and a goal difference of 16:31. After a narrow 2–1 win over Heidenheim, the Pirates failed to build momentum, drawing with Mainz (0–0) and Werder (0–0) before suffering defeats to Wolfsburg (1–2) and Borussia Dortmund (2–3).
Hamburg, meanwhile, have shown slightly better form. They edged Werder Bremen 3–2, drew with Eintracht Frankfurt (1–1) and Borussia Mönchengladbach (0–0), but also suffered heavy losses to Hoffenheim (1–4) and Freiburg (1–2). As a result, the Dinosaurs sit 14th in the standings with 17 points and a 17:27 goal difference.
Overall, the sides look fairly evenly matched. St. Pauli won the reverse fixture earlier this season, and playing at home again, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Pirates take another step toward victory.
