St. Pauli form and stats

7-4-3 (win-draw-lost) are the 2. Bundesliga numbers at home for St. Pauli so far this season. Two home wins in a row for St. Pauli bring valid hopes of a third.

Pauli are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Darmstadt 98. Ahead of that match, St. Pauli won a home game hosting Nürnberg (1-0).

Pauli were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
