ℹ️ Team News: SV Sandhausen

It seems likely that Sandhausen will possibly kick off with a 4-4-2 system for this game with Patrick Drewes, Dennis Diekmeier, Dario Dumic, Aleksandr Zhirov, Chima Okoroji, Alexander Esswein, David Kinsombi, Erik Zenga, Christian Kinsombi, Ahmed Kutucu and Franck Evina.

🗞️ Team News: St. Pauli

St. Pauli manager Fabian Hürzeler has a number of players out of action. Igor Matanovic (Shoulder Injury), Etienne Amenyido (Adductor problems), David Nemeth (Pubitis) and Christopher Avevor (Ankle Injury) are not ready for selection.

We are inclined to think that St. Pauli appear most likely to make use of a 3-4-3 lineup with a starting lineup of Nikola Vasilj, Jakov Medic, Eric Smith, Karol Mets, Manolis Saliakas, Jackson Irvine, Marcel Hartel, Leart Paqarada, Connor Metcalfe, Lukas Daschner and Oladapo Afolayan.

🧠 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that SV Sandhausen will need to push hard to register a score against this St. Pauli lineup who we think will likely manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

That’s why we have predicted a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 advantage for St. Pauli when the referee blows for full-time.

A close call.
