FC St. Pauli - 1860 München

Important match for both sides, St. Pauli in some relegation trouble while 1860 needs the win to stay in promotion race. Sure if 1860 miss third place it should not be the problem from their away performances, these are very good and they are only behind top teams like Hertha and Braunschweig in this category. Only their home stats are the key for their problem. Nevertheless they are only in race if they win this encounter, if they draw, this is to less and almost all is gone then. On the other side St. Pauli is a solid home side and they are only 7 points above the red zone therefore they need some points if they want not to get in danger.

After their 2-3 lose against Dresden last weekend where they lead already 2-0 it must be out of their heads and they should recover very fast. For this Coach Frontzeck wants to changes some in defensive as they conceded far to much in the past matches and with Avevor he saw a weak point there. Very good for him is that Schachten returns from suspension and this is the first option now. Kalla move to left wing while Schachten plays his position on right wing again. In midfield hero Boll is not at 100% after his injury and is only on bench, nothing more but he can help maybe if he comes in. In this case Funk and Kringe are on the positions in central midfield. Also some changes in offensive as with Gyau and Bruns are two players out, for them come Gogia and Thy in starting lineup.

I wrote it already last weekend, huge trouble in and around the club above all Investor Ismaik made this. A very hard task for Coach Schmidt to bring his team on the right position and try to hold the focus high for this match. His future is also unclear as most of the others in the club. So the mood should be not as high although they have some chances for third place. One important thing maybe is the returning of Halfar in midfield as he can create a lot but if he is on the level to play 90 minutes, I doubt. Thus for him must be Tomasov on bench. No more changes expected.

It is a important match for both despite St. Paulis lose against Dresden I think that they are able to beat 1860 above all in their stadium. This can bet he right time to streak back also if 1860 had a run away from home with 4 wins in a row. They are doing well but they had problems to score anyway. Close match, but DNB on home side is ok for me.
