This match features two teams living in the basement of the 2. Bundesliga, St. Pauli holding 15th place and Wehen Wiesbaden lying 17th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
