St. Pauli form and stats

There's been little loot from St. Pauli's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 6 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. St. Pauli only have 0 wins to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws. With the Pauli losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Pauli are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Pauli's previous game was their home loss versus Erzgebirge Aue (0-1). Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Eintracht Braunschweig's place.

A new game in only four days for Pauli, the 2. Bundesliga home match versus Fortuna Düsseldorf. Busy days.
