Low first-half goal volume from both sides makes a 0-0 HT plausible; motivation context suggests both sides start cautiously.

• Heidenheim leading at HT only 10% of recent games; trailing 40%
• St Pauli leading at HT 40%; trailing 30%
• Combined first half goals ~0.9/match expected
• Cautious openings typical in relegation six-pointer context

Structural home/away edge flips negative here: Heidenheim's league-worst defense (66 GA) combined with dead-rubber motivation collapse (Schmidt publicly resigned to relegation) and St Pauli needing points creates an open-game profile, though St Pauli's 0.8 goals/game scoring caps upside.

• Heidenheim concede 2.1 goals/game across last 5; season GA 66 (league-worst)
• Heidenheim home record: 21 GF / 35 GA in 15 games (3.7 goals per home match)
• Last 5 Heidenheim matches featured goals totals of 3, 4, 4, 6, 1 (avg 3.6)
• H2H most recent: St Pauli 2-0 Heidenheim (Dec 2025) was the only under; prior away meeting also 2-0

H2H pattern is very specific (clean sheets in both prior away trips) but St Pauli's season away GA (25 in 15) and Heidenheim's home scoring are against this; kept LOW confidence as base rate caps the signal.

• St Pauli kept clean sheet in both recent away trips to Heidenheim (2-0, 2-0)
• Heidenheim averaged only 1.4 goals/game over last 5
• However Heidenheim scored in 4 of last 5 (only blank was vs Frankfurt away)
