St. Pauli will host the visiting Paderborn at Millerntor-Stadion in the Bundesliga 2 tie on Sunday, and our team has the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
St. Pauli are hoping to win again after their last result, a 0-2 Bundesliga 2 triumph versus Nuremberg. It looks as if St. Pauli could employ a 3-4-3 system for the game and select Nikola Vasilj, Adam Dzwigala, Hauke Wahl, Karol Mets, Manolis Saliakas, Jackson Irvine, Marcel Hartel, Philipp Treu, Connor Metcalfe, Johannes Eggestein and Andreas Albers.
Eric Smith, Sören Ahlers, Simon Zoller, Oladapo Afolayan and Scott Banks aren’t available for St. Pauli manager Fabian Hürzeler. Elias Saad will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
How St. Pauli might line up to take on Paderborn
Following on from being beaten in their last game against Eintracht Braunschweig in Bundesliga 2 action, Paderborn and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one. We are inclined to think that Paderborn will likely utilise a 3-4-3 lineup, settling for Pelle Boevink, Marcel Hoffmeier, Visar Musliu, Calvin Brackelmann, Raphael Obermair, David Kinsombi, Mattes Hansen, Aaron Zehnter, Filip Bilbija, Koen Kostons and Sebastian Klaas.
Paderborn manager Lukas Kwasniok has a number of players out of action. Felix Platte (Internal ligament tear), Kimberly Ezekwem (Ill) and Marco Schuster (Knee problems) won’t be making appearances. Kai Klefisch will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
