Preview: St. Pauli vs Hamburger SV Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Bundesliga 2025-26

The Kiezkicker were the better side during the last Hamburger Stadtderby.

The Hamburg Derby is here. FC St. Pauli are all set to lock horns with Hamburger SV for their matchweek 19 fixture of the 2025-26 Bundesliga. This is going to be an intense outing and is scheduled to take place at the Millerntor-Stadion.

The Kiezkicker have faced back-to-back defeats in their last two matches. They are on a poor run of form at the moment. FC St. Pauli are in last place on the league table and with this rate, they might even see themselves getting relegated at the end of the season. They have already defeated Hamburg SV once this season, but the upcoming contest will not be an easy one for them.

The Red Shorts are also not doing very well in the German league competition at the moment. They have failed to secure a win in their last four games. Hamburg SV will be away from home and this will surely keep them under some pressure from the start. They are placed 14th on the Bundesliga points table at the moment.
