FC St. Pauli – Eintracht Braunschweig

FC St. Pauli host Eintracht Braunschweig in what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides in the lower half of the table. The Hamburg outfit sit eighth with seven points from six games, having recorded one win, four draws and a single loss while scoring and conceding eight goals each. Braunschweig, languishing in 15th place, have gathered four points after one victory, one draw and four defeats, with a goal tally of 12 for and 13 against. The disparity in recent form suggests St. Pauli will look to convert their solid defensive record into three points, whereas the visitors will need to tighten up at the back to avoid slipping further down the standings. Both teams will be keen to improve their positions ahead of the run‑in to the season’s end.
