St. Pauli form and stats

Playing away, St. Pauli have won 4 games, drawn 3 and suffered 5 defeats in the 2. Bundesliga this season.

St. Pauli might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Hannover 96 proved too strong as St. Pauli slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Millerntor-Stadion. Defender Paqarada was the best team player with a rating of 7.65. Paqarada hit seven key passes and won 7 of 12 duels.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Jahn Regensburg with the score of 3-2.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the St. Pauli manager Schultz as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Union Berlin.

St. Pauli have scored 17 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Pauli have conceded 22 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
