Both teams had not the best start and have after six Rounds a lot to improve. Above all St. Pauli is far away from their goal and two defeats in a row with new Coach Meggle put them down to bottom zone. But this is not only due to their bad performances, this is also their bad luck with injuries. They miss a lot of players, also today around six. On the other side Braunschweig is doing better after two defeats in a row and won against strong newcomer Darmstadt 2-0. But at home they are stronger anyway as away from home, therefore it will be interesting how they are coming into the match today. With the win they have some distance to the red zone now and can look forward. After the match vs. Darmstadt said Coach Lieberknecht that he is very pleased with the performance and this can give some self confidence for his players and the upcoming matches. Now they must get some stability in their play and looking forward to climb up in the table.
According to the last match can Coach Lieberknecht trust his defensive line because they allowed not much against Darmstadt what makes him very confident for today. The team mates saw this too and they are happy with the uptrend now. If we play this way, we can beat every opponent was the statement. The defensive line is the same as against Darmstadt while in midfield can be one change. Pfitzner was not the best in last match and was replaced by Vrancic at half time. This can be the same from beginning on today.
The problems for the home team are much bigger, they fall down to bottom zone after the huge 0-3 defeat against bottom team from Aue. One day later some of the injured players like Kalla and Alushi was on the pitch for the training session and can be in squad today. But the list of injured players is long, they miss with MID Buchtmann, DEF Schachten, MID Nehrig for sure a few while Gonther is a doubt and also second keeper Himmelmann. This means that Coach Meggle miss in all parts of the team players what makes it difficult for alternatives. He is on the tribune again after his suspension and can not help the team on the line anyway. Nevertheless they have to improve a lot but they are looking forward and try their best. They are positive not negative and this is a good sign.
I think the hot atmosphere and the great fans will push Pauli today and the absent players are not so important if they play like a team and put all in what they have available. If they can beat a big fight what is possible above all at home in their stadium I am sure that they do not lose this encounter and the line is very good in my eyes also odds.
PICK: FC St. Pauli DNB @ 2,06 3 Units
