Team News

St. Pauli
Greuther Fuerth
  • Expect Fabian Hürzeler to name the same starting XI that beat Fortuna Düsseldorf in the league one week ago.
  • Australia internationals Connor Metcalfe and Jackson Irvine remain unavailable for this game.
  • Erik Ahlstrand could make the bench after completing a transfer from Swedish side Halmstads BK.
  • Expect Alexander Zorniger to opt for an unchanged starting XI when his side turn up at the Millerntor-Stadion on Saturday.
  • Gian-Luca Itter and Niko Gießelmann are the away side's only confirmed absentees for this top-two clash.

Prediction

  • St. Pauli faced off against Fortuna Düsseldorf twice in the space of one week heading into this game, beating them in the league last weekend before losing on penalties in the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals in midweek. Remarkably, the hosts are still unbeaten in the league this season and now sit four points clear of their visitors.
  • Greuther Fürth have emerged as shock title contenders in the past couple of weeks, following up a narrow win against Paderborn with an equally impressive one against Holstein Kiel. Those results mean that Alexander Zorniger's side sit second in the standings and are unbeaten in their last nine 2.Bundesliga games.
