RB Leipzig vs. St Pauli - match preview , lineups and live streaming

In the Bundesliga clash on February 9, 2025, RB Leipzig will host St. Pauli in a significant match that could impact Champions League qualification aspirations. Currently positioned fourth in the league, Leipzig is seeking to break a four-game winless streak following lackluster performances, including a recent draw against Union Berlin and a loss to Sturm Graz . Despite these setbacks, their home record remains strong, providing them with an advantageous setting as they aim for three crucial points.

Their home side’s goalless draw against Union Berlin last weekend highlighted their offensive struggles, as Die Roten Bullen could only muster 0.27 xG compared to their opponents’ 1.27 xG. This was the second consecutive match where Leipzig failed to score, following a 1-0 loss to Sturm Graz in the Champions League. Despite this dry spell, Marco Rose’s men had netted 12 goals in their previous five matches, showing they are capable of bouncing back.

Leipzig’s inconsistency against bottom-half teams is a growing concern. Costly draws against St. Pauli, VfL Bochum, and Union Berlin, along with a loss to Hoffenheim in November, have left them in an uncertain position. With Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund just four points behind, any further slip-ups could see them drop out of the Champions League places.

RB Leipzig possible starting lineup: Gulacsi; Klostermann, Orban, Lukeba, Raum; Nusa, Seiwald, Haidara, Xavi; Sesko, Openda

St Pauli possible starting lineup: Vasilj; Wahl, Smith, Nemeth; Treu, Irvine, Sands, Ritzka; Afolayan, Eggestein, Weisshaupt

That result made it seven points from the last three league matches for the visitors, who have moved seven points above the bottom three. Even their away form seems to have improved, as the visitors won two of their last three away league matches.

Both those away wins for St. Pauli came with a clean sheet, and they did the same in the 0-0 reverse fixture draw.

The match is expected to be tightly contested given both teams' recent form and injury concerns. Betting predictions suggest a potential draw at 1-1 could be likely. Fans eager to catch the action must look out for live streaming options as details have not been disclosed in preliminary reports. Overall, this matchup presents an intriguing opportunity for both clubs to solidify their standings within the league hierarchy.
