Team News

St. Pauli
RBL
  • Simon Zoller is struggling with a muscle injury, while Elias Saad is feeling an ankle injury. Morgan Guilavogui went off early in the defeat to Augsburg.
  • Eric Smith is struggling with his adductors, while Connor Metcalfe has picked up a muscle injury.
  • Assan Ouédraogo is getting over a knee op, while Xaver Schlager is recovering from an ACL injury.

Prediction

  • Leipzig, 14 games without a defeat, are looking to sustain a title challenge, but could only draw 0-0 at home last weekend after missing another penalty.
  • Bundesliga 2 champions St Pauli lost their progressive head coach Fabian Hürzeler to Brighton and have started inauspiciously with three straight defeats under Alexander Blessin.
  • St Pauli have all week to prepare, while Leipzig will have to recover from Champions League action against Atletico Madrid on Thursday.
  • That said, Leipzig should get the job done against a limited St Pauli side.
