St. Pauli journey to Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor on Saturday for their Bundesliga 2 clash with Darmstadt, so let’s look at the latest injury news and predicted line ups.
Darmstadt, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 0-3 Bundesliga 2 victory vs Holstein Kiel. In our view, Darmstadt look set to use a 3-4-1-2 formation in the match, utilising Marcel Schuhen, Patric Pfeiffer, Christoph Zimmermann, Jannik Müller, Matthias Bader, Fabian Schnellhardt, Marvin Mehlem, Emir Karic, Phillip Tietz, Braydon Manu and Filip Stojilkovic.
Frank Ronstadt and Fabian Holland won’t be available for Darmstadt boss Torsten Lieberknecht.
How Darmstadt could look against St. Pauli
St. Pauli will come into the encounter following a 2-1 Bundesliga 2 win to beat Arminia Bielefeld in their last game. It’s our belief that St. Pauli could decide to begin the game with a 3-4-3 lineup by sending out Nikola Vasilj, Adam Dzwigala, Jakov Medic, Karol Mets, Manolis Saliakas, Jackson Irvine, Marcel Hartel, Leart Paqarada, Elias Saad, Lukas Daschner and Oladapo Afolayan.
St. Pauli manager Fabian Hürzeler has a number of players out of action. Maurides (Meniscal Injury), Igor Matanovic (Shoulder Injury), Etienne Amenyido (Adductor problems), Christopher Avevor (Ankle Injury) and David Nemeth (Pubitis) are not ready for selection.
