Stuttgart remains unbeaten in nine of their 11 competitive home matches this season, recording five wins and four draws.

In contrast, St. Pauli is struggling at the lower end of the table, currently sitting 15th with only 11 points from 14 matches.

They have managed just three wins this season and are only one point above the relegation playoff spot after a recent 2-1 loss to Werder Bremen.

Both teams face significant squad challenges due to injuries, with Stuttgart missing key players like Dan-Axel Zagadou and captain Atakan Karazor, while St. Pauli will be without star player Elias Saad.

Predictions favor Stuttgart to win 3-1, given their home advantage and recent form, as they aim to extend their dominance over St. Pauli, having won eight of the last nine encounters.

On December 21, 2024, VfB Stuttgart will host FC St. Pauli at the MHP Arena, aiming to conclude the football year with a victory in their Bundesliga match.

Currently, Stuttgart sits sixth in the Bundesliga with 23 points, having achieved six wins, three losses, and five draws in their 14 matches.

Stuttgart is on a strong run, winning four consecutive matches and scoring 17 goals in their last six games, although they have conceded 11 goals during this period.

Their recent form includes a 3-1 victory over Heidenheim and a dramatic 3-2 comeback against Union Berlin, marking four consecutive wins in December.

St. Pauli has only one win in their last five matches and a poor away record, having lost six of their nine away games this season.

In another match, TSG Hoffenheim will host Borussia Mönchengladbach, where Hoffenheim seeks to improve their position above the relegation zone.

The upcoming match preview includes statistical comparisons and probable lineups for both teams, highlighting Stuttgart's aerial dominance with a 51% success rate compared to St. Pauli's 41%.
