After fourth position on the table in the 2022/23 season, Union Berlin had a completely different previous year, as they barely escaped relegation. A solid preseason gave Union Berlin's fans the idea that the 2024/25 season would be different, but already in the first match, they had so many problems beating Regionalliga side Greifswald in the cup. Last weekend, in the Bundesliga opener, Union Berlin played 1-1 on the road against Mainz.
After 13 seasons in the second tier of German football, St. Pauli returned to the Bundesliga. They are among the worst teams in the division, so the only goal is to avoid relegation. St. Pauli started the season with a 3-2 win after extra time in the cup against Hallescher. Last weekend, Alexander Blessin's team lost 2-0 at home against Heidenheim. St. Pauli had more shots at the goal in that match, but the guests' efficiency made the difference between the teams.
Union Berlin vs St. Pauli pick: Under 2.5 goals
Both teams scored two goals in the first two matches of the season, so we should expect a low-scoring game on Friday night.

St. Pauli team news
Interestingly, St. Pauli didn't make any major transfer move this summer. Most of the players on the squad were there last season, too. Maybe they saved some surprises for the final August days.
St. Pauli will be without Soren Ahlers, Sascha Burchert, and Simon Zoller in the upcoming tie in Berlin.
