The hosts have displayed a mix of steely determination and inconsistency. Their recent 2-0 away win over Heidenheim was a masterclass in defensive organization and counterattacking flair. Yet, they followed it with a toothless 0-1 home defeat to Frankfurt. The Millerntor-Stadion has seen moments of brilliance this season, with St. Pauli thriving on crowd energy to deliver disciplined performances. With two wins in their last five outings, the team knows their best will be needed against Union. Keeping their defensive shape intact and taking chances clinically up front will be key to unsettling their opponents.
1. FC Union Berlin
Union Berlin arrives at St. Pauli burdened by a frustrating run of form. While their 2-1 win over Mainz showed they can still deliver when it matters, losses to Heidenheim and Augsburg revealed cracks in their confidence. Their strength lies in their physicality and ability to capitalize on set pieces, but their leaky defense has been an Achilles’ heel. Despite being more dominant in this fixture historically, Union faces a tougher St. Pauli side than before. Turning around their away form is non-negotiable if they are to climb the table.
