St. Pauli form and stats

Let's have a look at how St. Pauli performed last season in the 2. Bundesliga: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 16 victories, 9 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 61 and conceded 46 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 5 and lost 7 with 24/29 goals scored/conceded.

The supporters enjoyed St. Pauli's previous fixture versus Nürnberg (placed 14th), a 3-2 win played at home. Those three points felt sweet as this team had gone three league matches without winning. Defender Paqarada was the best team player with a rating of 8.15. Paqarada scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and won 3 of 6 duels.

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Fortuna Dusseldorf.
