St. Pauli – Statistics & Current Form

Until summer, the Kiezklub without defensive boss Philipp Ziereis and the best scorer Henk Veerman must get along. Ziereis is to be replaced by Justin Hoogma, who will be on loan from Hoffenheim until the summer. Already before the Eintracht icon Alex Meier was taken as a replacement in the storm. In addition, Pauli signed with Kevin Lankford a winger from Heidenheim, which should actually come only in the summer. After Cenk Sahin was recently loaned to Ingolstadt, St. Pauli struck at Lankford immediately. How much the hamburgers are currently missing their injured regulars, became clear in the first competitive match of the year in Darmstadt. On the defensive, the men of coach Markus Kauczinski allowed too many chances. In the game forward there were too many ball losses and too many unused attacks.

In the games before the winter break in Bochum or Magdeburg, the Paulians had indeed periods of weakness, but were there for the important stages and could win the games. Against the lilies the Kiezkicker went with a happy 1: 0 in the half. By the 60th minute, the guests could have even increased to 2: 0. But then Darmstadt became stronger and stronger. In the 81st minute, the lillies earned the deserved 1-1 equalizer and then scored in the 89th minute even the winning goal. After the first league game of the year, the concerns of St. Pauli even increased. Diamantakos pulled a muscle fiber tear in the adductor area in Darmstadt and falls out for some games. The use of Jeremy Dudziak, who suffered a severe contusion in the right ankle, is still questionable against Berlin. The defeat against Darmstadt was the first defeat for Pauli after seven unbeaten league games in a row. Nevertheless, the starting point between St. Pauli and Union Berlin for a tip on the victory from the point of view of the bookmakers balanced, because bets on the two teams can be placed at similar rates.

Union Berlin – Statistics & Current Form

Almost Union Berlin would have survived the entire first half of the season without defeat. But in the last game before the winter break, the Iron had to accept the first defeat of the season with the 0: 3 at Erzgebirge Aue. Thus, the Berlin overwintered in fourth place, three points behind third place. Already in the first game of the year at home against Cologne could Union with a 2-0 victory compensation for the bankruptcy in the Erzgebirge create. After just 25 seconds the men of coach Urs Fischer had taken the lead with a remarkable fallback. After the early deficit, the Effzeh had more possession, but could not provide for danger from the opponent’s goal. In defense, the goats remained vulnerable and collected in the 30th minute 0: 2.

Only shortly before the break could the guests put on the offensive a few accents. But in the second round, the Cologne found no means against the good defense of Köpenicker. Union was closer to 3: 0 on several occasions than the FC at 1: 2. After a yellow-red card for Reichel Berlin had to play from the 67th minute outnumbered. Nevertheless, it remained at the end of the 2-0 for the Iron. With great team unity, the Fischer-Elf was especially at the crucial moments on the spot. In the neighborhood, the coach has to give up the suspended Christopher Trimmel (fifth yellow card) and Ken Reichel (yellow-red). The use of Sebastian Polter is still very uncertain. With only 15 goals, Union has the best defense in the league.

Expected formation of Union Berlin:
Gikiewicz – Lenz, Hübner, Frederick, Ryerson – Schmiedebach, Kroos, Prömel – Hartel, Andersson, Abdullahi
