St Pauli preview: Struggling St Pauli

St Pauli begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting in the bottom two and the automatic relegation places and there is a feeling that the Hamburg-based outfit are suffering from so-called ‘second season syndrome’ in the Bundesliga.

The home team come into this one on the back of a 2-1 loss to Augsburg last weekend before then succumbing to a 3-0 hammering at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen in the quarter-finals in the DFB-Pokal the other day.

Stuttgart preview: Entertaining Stuttgart

With Sebastian Hoeness at the helm, Stuttgart have become one of the most entertaining teams to watch in Europe in the last couple of years and their 20 Bundesliga matches so far this season have consisted of 63 goals.

They managed to squeeze themselves into the top four and the UEFA Champions League spots last weekend with a slender 1-0 defeat of Freiburg before then defeating Holstein Kiel in the cup in midweek.

St Pauli team news: A few issues

St Pauli have an abundance of injury absentees for this one with former Peterborough United striker Ricky-Jade Jones now unavailable due to an ankle issue.

Predicted XI (3-4-3): Vasilj; Ando, Robatsch, Mets; Saliakas, Sands, Rasmussen, Pyrka; Sinani, Ceesay, Fujita

Unavailable: Nemeth (Injured), Wahl (Injured), Metcalfe (Injured), Jones (Injured), Hountondji (Injured)

Questionable: Smith (Injured)

Stuttgart team news: Several doubts

Stuttgart are dealing with a few doubts for this one as Dan-Axel Zagadou, Tiago Tomas and Nikolas Nartey are potentially sidelined, while Lazar Jovanovic is a confirmed absentee.

Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Neubel; Vagnoman, Jeltsch, Chabot, Hendriks; Karazor, Stiller; Leweling, El Khannouss, Fuhrich; Undav

Unavailable: Jovanovic (Injured)

Questionable: Zagadou (Injured), Tomas (Injrued), Nartey (Injured)

St Pauli vs Stuttgart prediction

Those victories for Stuttgart in the last week or so has extended their impressive recent run of form over the last couple of months. Their cup win means that they have suffered just one defeat in their last 11 matches across all competitions. Under the management of Alexander Blessin, the natural limitations of St Pauli are beginning to show and they do appear to now be destined for a return to the 2. Bundesliga, with Stuttgart the firm favourites for this one at Stadion Millerntor.
