St. Pauli will be at home to host Hannover 96 when the two enter Match Day 13 of the 2. Bundesliga. Going into this game hosts St. Pauli are top of the league standings while Hannover 96 are third. St. Pauli have so far garnered 26 points from 12 matches and are by some distance the best team so far. They are the only remaining unbeaten side in the league so far, and have the best defence. In 12 matches, St. Pauli have conceded just nine goals, no other team has let in less than 10 goals. However, in their last 10 matches across all competitions, St. Pauli have managed just two clean sheets. Seven of their last 10 matches have had over 2.5 goals. Both teams scored in eight of St. Pauli’s last 10 matches. Coming into this game, St. Pauli claimed a 2-0 away win at Elversberg in their latest clean sheet. That was also the eighth straight game that they scored more than a goal in.

Hannover 96 come into this game hoping to avoid a fourth defeat of the season in 2. Bundesliga. In their opening 12 matches, the visitors have conceded 15 goals. They are, however, the best scoring side so far and will hope their attack clicks against the best defence. Heading into this game, Hannover beat Eintracht Braunschweig 2-0 in a league game. That was their third win in five matches, all in the league, and in between sandwiching two defeats. In the last two meetings with their hosts, Hannover have failed to win, losing one and drawing another. Their away run will call for a lot of improvement; Hannover have no win in three straight away league games. In the last two away matches, they suffered losses, conceding three in each of the two games.
