FC St. Pauli - SC Paderborn

This is the last match from Round 27 when St. Pauli face Paderborn in the evening. Of course both teams are in midfield and one one have to do with promotion or anything else but nevertheless both need still points to be absolutely safe.

After St. Pauli’s 2-4 lose at Union Berlin before the break they want to return on winning ways and therefore they have to put all effort into this match today. Coach Frontzeck miss again his best striker and scorer Ginzek suspended, for him will play oldie Ebbers. Despite an average performance against Union not many changes expected anyway here. Maybe Bruns move into the team while Gogia must on bench then and Fin Bartels can move on the left offensive wing position. Also Mohr is an option to replace Avevor in central back while Avevor move towards to back wing and Kalla must on bench.

Before the break Paderborn won surprisingly clear  with 3-0 against FSV Frankfurt and there are no reasons to change anything from the starting eleven. Only defender Feisthammel and Gulde are out, all the others are available and give coach Schmidt a lot options to choose from. If both youngsters Yilmaz and Hofmann starts it would be only the bench for the new winter signings Saglik and Kachunga. But it is more possible that Saglik starts as he was a former St. Pauli player and should be huge motivated against his former club. Above all he got some self confidence back with a goal in friendly match against VfL Wolfsburg.
