Match Report

Heidenheim secured a comfortable 2–0 home victory over FC St. Pauli in Bundesliga Matchday 31, with the outcome effectively shaped inside the opening minutes. Budu Zivzivadze struck as early as the third minute to give the hosts a lead they would carry into half-time, setting the tone for a disciplined defensive display from Frank Schmidt's side.

Despite St. Pauli enjoying the majority of possession at 55%, they struggled to convert that control into genuine danger, managing just two shots on target across the ninety minutes. Heidenheim, by contrast, were more clinical, registering five shots on goal and an expected goals figure of 1.61 — comfortably outperforming their opponents in the metrics that mattered. Eren Dinkçi wrapped up the points with a second goal on 82 minutes, putting the result beyond doubt.

The win was a straightforward one for Heidenheim, who showed their opponents little room to build momentum. Our pre-match AI model had rated a St. Pauli win as the most likely outcome at 44%, a call that proved well wide of the mark on the night.
