Team News

Holstein Kiel
St. Pauli
  • Marcel Rapp's only expected change this weekend will be an enforced one with Marko Ivezic set to replace the injured Finn Porath.
  • It will be a case of one in, one out for the away side with Australian international Connor Metcalfe set to replace the suspended Elias Saad.
  • Scott Banks and Etienne Amenyido are both confirmed absentees for St. Pauli.

Prediction

  • Holstein Kiel were at their clinical best last Saturday, scoring four goals from 12 attempts as they hammered fellow promotion hopefuls Paderborn 4-0 at the Home Deluxe Arena.
  • Back-to-back league wins have moved Marcel Rapp's men into an excellent position, and they now head into gameweek 23 with a four-point buffer to Hamburg in third place.
  • St. Pauli looked to be on course for a comfortable win when Dapo Afolayan put them ahead against Eintracht Braunschweig last weekend, but a 67th-minute Elias Saad red card forced the league leaders to defend hard until the final whistle.
  • Fabian Hürzeler's side have won four of their last five 2. Bundesliga matches and sit three points clear of their hosts in the standings.
