St Pauli vs Stuttgart Prediction 7 February 2026
π Can St. Pauli extend their unbeaten run at the Millerntor? The "Pirates" have gone three matches without a loss here, but they remain in the relegation zone. In their remaining home fixtures, they need to focus on securing all three points against the favorites, not just settling for one. Stuttgart are certainly among those favorites, yet the "Swabians" face a tight schedule with their second consecutive away game. Can Sebastian HoeneΓ's side, who are unbeaten in seven Bundesliga matches, handle this challenge?
Head-to-Head
π With goals from Ermedin DemiroviΔ and Bilal El Khannous, Sebastian Hoeness's team secured a victory in the first round at the MHP Arena (2-0).

St. Pauli
ποΈ Alexander Blessin on the current situation: "We've had stretches where we've been very good, and others where things haven't gone our way. It's crucial to always see the positives. Success can only be achieved together, and for that, we need a fundamentally positive mindset. It starts with me. If one or two situations are decisive for the game, we must try to fix them. We have to keep fighting. For me, giving up is not an option. I see everyone sticking together and united."
β Ricky-Jade Jones, Andreas Untodji, Connor Metcalfe, and David Nemeth are injured. Eric Smith and Hauke Wahl remain doubtful.
Stuttgart
ποΈ Sebastian HoeneΓ after reaching the Cup semifinals: "We're thrilled to make it to the semifinals once again. In the first ten minutes, we didn't start well. Kiel were well-prepared, and we struggled with picking up loose balls. After that, we adjusted, managed to play our style, and took control of the game. In the end, we deserved the win, even though it wasn't easy for us."
β Dan-Axel Zagadou and Lazar Jovanovic are undergoing recovery training sessions. Tiago TomΓ‘s might return to the squad following a muscle injury.
π¨ Referee and Yellow Cards
Benjamin Brand has been appointed as the main referee for the match. His average number of yellow cards shown over the last 10 games is 3.2. The average for the "Pirates" over 20 rounds is 1.5, while for the "Swabians" it stands at 1.9. We opt for St. Pauli's individual total of fewer than two yellow cards, a trend that has held in the last four rounds.
β½ Goal Prediction
After 20 rounds, St. Pauli have scored the fewest goals in the league, with just 18 to their name, making it difficult to expect more than one goal against a team like Stuttgart. The "Swabians" have been prolific scorers, even on the road, so we predict a Stuttgart goal in the second half, as has happened in 6 of their last 7 matches.
π© Corner Prediction
St. Pauli averages 5 corners per game, while Stuttgart averages 5.6. We are betting on over 8.5 total corners, a bet that has hit in 8 of the last 9 home matches.
Editorial Prediction
With 20 rounds already in the books, every match now carries significant weight for each club-there's no room for complacency or mistakes anymore. St. Pauli must fiercely battle for points at home to secure their league status, as they have only eight home games left, and their chances on the road appear considerably slimmer.
Stuttgart are having a commendable season, maintaining an average of 55% possession-the third-best in the league. They may dictate play and control possession, but their congested schedule could impact their attacking efficiency. Additionally, their cup game was played a day later, allowing less recovery time, and this is another away fixture for them, while St. Pauli are unbeaten at the Millerntor for three consecutive games. We predict under 3 goals, which has occurred in three of the Pirates' last four home matches. A draw is possible-1-1.
