Fight for a turnaround: FC St. Pauli ahead of a key game against Freiburg!
FC St. Pauli face a crucial clash against SC Freiburg as the Bundesliga heads towards the international break. After a clear 4-0 defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach, coach Alexander Blessin is clear that changes are necessary to initiate a turnaround. But the opponents from Freiburg are currently proving to be an unpredictable team.
SC Freiburg has had a mixed start so far this season, with two defeats, followed by two wins and four draws. The team is currently in eleventh place in the table. Their long ball statistics suggest that they are well placed in this regard, as they have the second best pass rate in the league. However, they are still plagued by injury concerns: Eren Dinkci, Cyriaque Irié and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh are all out. Combined with tired legs as Freiburg play their seventh game in 21 days, this could boost FC St. Pauli's chances.
Current lineup and injury issues
There are also some question marks in the starting line-up at FC St. Pauli. David Nemeth and Adam Dźwigała are unable to take part due to injuries, with the latter battling an abdominal muscle injury with his time out uncertain. Ricky-Jade Jones will not be used as he is using the international break to recover. Manos Saliakas also has “a few problems”, which calls his use into question.
On the Freiburg side, Philipp Treu could play against his former club FC St. Pauli, but he has not been able to convince so far this season. Another player all eyes are on is Christian Günter, who could make his 441st appearance for Freiburg on Sunday. A new record is just around the corner, which could further fuel Freiburg's motivation.
