Greuther Fürth form and stats
Overall 2. Bundesliga stats at home this season for Greuther Fürth are 2-1-3 (wins-draw-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for Greuther, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Greuther travelled for their previous game, a trip to Hoffenheim (after extra-time, 6-7 on penalties) that ended 2-2. A strong away win before that one, visiting Eintracht Braunschweig and winning 3-0.
Paul Seguin felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Hoffenheim (after extra-time, 6-7 on penalties) as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 90th minute.
Greuther are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 6 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Greuther defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
St. Pauli form and stats
There's been little loot from St. Pauli's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 6 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. St. Pauli only have 0 wins to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for St. Pauli, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Heidenheim game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Pauli has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
St. Pauli's previous game was their home loss versus Fortuna Dusseldorf (0-3). A draw for St. Pauli before that, at their own venue hosting Erzgebirge Aue (2-2).
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the St. Pauli manager T. Schultz as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Wurzburger Kickers.
Pauli are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 6 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Pauli have conceded 11 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
