Struggling St. Pauli will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Holstein Kiel in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- St. Pauli have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Holstein Kiel has the fewest conceded goals (13) in 2. Bundesliga
Pauli have less rest than Holstein Kiel in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a 2. Bundesliga game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Würzburger Kickers, so at least Pauli are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
