RB Leipzig vs St. Pauli Preview and Team News
Leipzig Team News
Leipzig strengthened their squad this Einter with the arrivals of Tidiam Gomis and Kosta Nedeljković, both of whom were present in Tuesday’s training session. It was opened up as an opportunity for the new signings to meet their fans.
Despite these newcomers, the club have been linked with striker Ferrán Torres to further bolster their attack.
Currently fourth in the Bundesliga, Leipzig are winless in their last three encounters across all competitions. They lost to Sturm Graz in their final Champions League match, failing to qualify for the knockout stage with just one win in eight games.

Marco Rose’s men have struggled to maintain consistency, held in a draw by Union Berlin (0-0) last weekend. The Berliners deployed their deep block to counter Leipzig’s dynamic approach.
The club edged past Frankfurt (2-1) but were dismantled by Bayern Munich (5-1). Their fast-paced approach often overwhelms opponents, but they struggle to control the tempo against stronger teams, leaving them vulnerable on the counter.
Benjamin Henrichs, Assan Ouedraogo, and Xaver Schlager remain sidelined due to injuries.
RB Leipzig predicted lineup vs St. Pauli (3-4-1-2): Gulácsi; Bitshiabu, Orban, Klostermann; Raum, Baumgartner, Seiwald, Baku; Simons; Šeško, Openda.
St. Pauli Team News
St. Pauli struggled after their promotion to the Bundesliga, spending the early months in the relegation zone. However, they improved in recent weeks and remained undefeated in the previous three matches. St. Pauli are temporarily out of relegation worries after defeating two direct competitors, Hoffenheim and Union Berlin.
The club’s main issue this season has been their lack of goals, ranking as the third-lowest scoring squad in the league. Their defensive record doesn’t compensate for these woes, having conceded 22 goals in 20 events.
Even in defeats, such as their 1-0 loss to Frankfurt, St. Pauli have shown more resilience, conceding less space in transition. However, they continue to make costly individual errors, like their own goal against Augsburg.
Injuries have also been a problem throughout the season, hindering their development as a team. Karol Mets, Manolis Saliakas, Morgan Guilavogui, Robert Wagner, Sascha Burchert, Simon Zoller, and Sören Ahlers remain out.
St. Pauli predicted lineup vs RB Leipzig (3-4-3): Vasilj; Nemeth, Smith, Wahl; Treu, Sands, Irvine, Van der Heyden; Weisshaupt, Eggestein, Afolayan.
Bet hereRB Leipzig vs St. Pauli Prediction
- Prediction: Leipzig to win
- Odds: 1.56 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: Leipzig 2-1 St. Pauli
Rose’s men are fourth but desperately need a win, as they hold just a single-point lead over Stuttgart. With fourth place being the final Champions League spot, Leipzig’s ownership will want to secure the qualification, especially given the club’s franchise model.
The two teams had never played each other in the 1. Bundesliga before this season (only in the 2. Bundesliga, almost 10 years ago). Their encounters have favoured RB Leipzig until now.
St. Pauli are yet to win a match against the RB club, drawing 0-0 in the first weeks of the Bundesliga, while Leipzig eliminated them from the DFB Pokal (4-2).
RB Leipzig vs St. Pauli Betting Tip
- Pick: Šeško to score
- Odds: 2.2 (22Bet)
One of the safest bets is on Šeško to find the net. He’s scored eight goals this season and forms a fantastic partnership with Openda.
Šeško’s goal catalogue has continued expanding, scoring bangers that have left goalkeepers immobile. Given St. Pauli’s defensive struggles, this could be a big night for the Slovenian.
