Energie Cottbus vs St Pauli Prediction 20 September 2026
🔉 Energie Cottbus and St. Pauli meet early in the season with both clubs sitting in mid-table in the 2. Bundesliga and still theoretically in contention for promotion. Over their last five matches, the hosts look slightly more consistent, while the visitors have not been in good form. St. Pauli also have a prolonged negative run of results, which is reflected in their league position and their mood heading into this away fixture.

📊 These two sides have never met on the football pitch before.
Head-to-head statistics Energie Cottbus - St Pauli
Energie Cottbus Team Overview
Energie Cottbus have had a mixed start to the season: two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five matches. Their attacking output over that period has been decent, averaging 2.6 goals scored per game, though the defence has been inconsistent, conceding an average of 2.4. Across their last ten matches, Cottbus have five wins and four defeats, which reflects their unpredictability but suggests they are competitive against mid-table sides. Their league position provides moderate motivation - the gap to the automatic promotion places is significant, so the club are currently consolidating their position in the upper half of the table rather than mounting a serious promotion challenge.
Match Results: Energie Cottbus
St. Pauli Team Overview
St. Pauli are having serious trouble picking up points: just one win from their last ten matches, with three draws and six defeats, points to a real dip in form. Their average scoring rate is low - just one goal per match, with almost two conceded (1.8). Over their last five matches they have won once, drawn three times and lost once; recent results are hardly a platform for confidence away from home. Their nominal objective is promotion, but their current motivation is rated as low given the sizeable gap to the leaders.

Total Goals Prediction
In their last 5 matches, Energie Cottbus have consistently seen over 2.5 goals, which reflects their current trend. Their season averages also point in the same direction: at home, Cottbus score 3 goals per game and concede 2.5 on average, which together paint a clear picture of a high-scoring home fixture. St. Pauli average 2 goals scored and 2 conceded per away match, which further supports a bet on Total Goals - Over 2.5, priced at 1.43*.
Corners Prediction
St. Pauli have taken fewer than 5.5 corners in 21 of their last 22 away matches - a very long and consistent run. The price on St. Pauli Team Total Corners - Under 5.5 is 1.64*.
Reliable Bet
St. Pauli have scored in 8 of their last 9 matches, which supports the trend. Even away from home the team score consistently, and Cottbus's defence has not been reliable - conceding an average of 2.5 goals at home this season. Given these figures, the St. Pauli Team Total - Over 0.5 goals at 1.14* looks very solid.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely correct scores are: 1-1 (9.10%), 2-2 (8.02%) and 1-2 (7.97%). All three options have similar probabilities, though 1-1 stands out as the most likely outcome among them.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
Given St. Pauli's prolonged slump - just one win in their previous sixteen matches according to the trend - the editorial team sees no reason to expect a sharp turnaround right now. The visitors' form is poor both over the short term (last 5 matches) and the longer run (10 matches), with the attack converting few chances and the defence looking fairly porous. Against that backdrop, Energie Cottbus look marginally more solid, thanks to better attacking momentum at home and the absence of any heavy winless runs, even with their own defensive issues. The visitors' negative trend is the key factor here: the pick is the Double Chance on Energie Cottbus (not to lose).
