Doldrum-dwellers Duisburg to host goalfest with St Pauli

Duisburg v St Pauli
BT Sport 1, 7.30pm Monday

Fans of Duisburg got their first taste of victory before the international break and they could be in for an entertaining evening when St Pauli come to town.

The home side's new boss Torsten Lieberknecht claimed the scalp of highflyers Cologne 2-1 in his first game in charge and his team can at least breach the defence of a top-heavy St Pauli outfit.

No club netted fewer than St Pauli in the Bundesliga 2 last term but the Hamburg outfit have failed to notch in only one league encounter this season.

The visitors have conceded as many as they have scored though, having been hampered by the loss of Lasse Sobiech in the heart of defence in the summer.

Lieberknecht's side can capitalise on the opposition's defensive vulnerabilities and have been involved in a host of goalfests themselves this season.

Duisburg chalked up 3-3 and 2-2 draws with Magdeburg and Darmstadt last month and both teams to score has landed in each of their last five games.

The hosts are without a clean sheet in seven games and both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in this clash looks great value at odds-against.

Recommendation
Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals
1pt 6-5 Coral
