St Pauli Preview – Can St Pauli finish top half?
A poor run of results towards the end of last season in Bundesliga 2 resulted in St Pauli finishing in the bottom half of the German second tier in 10th place, following four defeats in their final five matches of the season.
Defeats against Fortuna Dusseldorf, today’s visitors, Holstein Kiel, Hannover and Jahn Regensburg prevented the hosts from achieving a top half finish despite picking up a 2-1 home win over Greuther Furth on home turf at their Millerntor-Stadion.
St Pauli won six of their final eight games at home towards the end of the last campaign but they too have lost three of the previous four meetings against Holstein Kiel and this could be a tough start to the season for the hosts.
Holstein Kiel Preview – Can Holstein Kiel go a step better?
It was a frustrating and ultimately disappointing end to Holstein Kiel’s season as the visitors achieved a 3rd place finish at the end of the Bundesliga 2 campaign which earned them a play-off tie against Bundesliga side, Cologne, in a relegation/promotion two-legged tie.
Holstein Kiel won the 1st leg 1-0 away from home and were seemingly heading into the big time, only to be thrashed 5-1 at home by Cologne in the 2nd leg and promotion hopes were dashed in emphatic fashion.
However, Holstein Kiel still pose a serious threat and along with their solid record against St Pauli in previous exchanges, the visitors stand a chance of getting something out of Sunday’s encounter.
