Team News

St. Pauli
Hansa Rostock
  • Eric Smith and Lars Ritzka are both doubtful after missing the game against Hannover with injuries.
  • If the pair aren't deemed fit for Friday's game, expect Adam Dzwigala's return to be Fabian Hürzeler's only change.
  • Mersad Selimbegovic will be without suspended centre-back Damian Roßbach on Friday after he crossed the yellow card suspension threshold during the defeat to Magdeburg.
  • Elsewhere, Nico Neidhart is struggling with illness and will be absent at the Millerntor-Stadion, while Simon Rhein has suffered a foot injury.

Prediction

  • Goals from Dapo Afolayan and Johannes Eggestein proved the difference at the Heinz von Heiden Arena last weekend as St. Pauli sealed a critical 2-1 away win against Hannover. Fabian Hürzeler's side had lost their previous two league matches but maintained a five-point cushion above third-placed Fortuna Düsseldorf with that win.
  • Hansa Rostock's survival chances were dashed last Sunday when they failed to produce a response to first-half goals from Luca Schuler and Daniel Heber. The 2-0 defeat against Magdeburg means that the visitors have lost three of their last four 2.Bundesliga games ahead of their trip to the Millerntor-Stadion.
