FC St. Pauli has made a disappointing start to the 2. Bundesliga season, still waiting for their first win after four matchdays. The state of play after Matchday 4 of the 2026/27 season confirms the club's struggles. The team from Millerntor has collected just three points so far, leaving them in 15th place in the league table. They already trail leaders Hertha BSC by nine points, making the connection to the promotion spots an early challenge.
The record after four matches reads zero wins, three draws, and one loss. Their goal difference stands at minus one, with six goals scored and seven conceded. The recent form of DLDD shows the difficulty in initiating a winning run. The next opportunity comes on September 12, 2026, with a home game against VfL Wolfsburg, who currently sit fourth.
What is the current table situation?
While FC St. Pauli fights for its first three-point haul, four teams in the 2. Bundesliga have maintained an unbeaten start. These sides have already pulled away at the top of the table early on. This contrast is clearly visible. For the Kiezkicker, their current position in the lower third means early pressure. You can find the complete league overview in our current standings.
The season's opening phase fell between September 1 and 6, 2026. During this period, the team failed to secure a victory. The summer 2026 transfer activity and the August Goal of the Month voting were not enough to generate momentum for the campaign. The search for the right form continues.
What does the points deficit mean?
Being nine points behind Hertha BSC after just four matchdays is a significant gap. It shows how quickly distances can open up in the tight 2. Bundesliga. Every missed point carries extra weight at this stage. The team must find its form quickly to avoid losing touch with the important positions. The upcoming fixtures are therefore of great importance.
The defensive and offensive statistics of 6:7 goals show a balanced but not victorious picture. They lack the final polish to turn close games in their favor. The three draws indicate a certain resilience but also a lack of decisive power in key moments. Detailed performance data for the squad is available on our stats page.
What's next for FC St. Pauli?
The immediate focus now shifts to the home game against VfL Wolfsburg on September 12. This duel against a direct competitor from the upper reaches of the table offers a chance for a change in trend. A win in front of their home crowd could provide the urgently needed boost. All upcoming fixtures for the season are listed in the fixtures calendar.
The team has little time to turn the analysis into points. Preparations for the Wolfsburg match are already in full swing. A look at the personnel situation, including any injuries or suspensions, can be done via our injuries list. The next chance to shed the winless tag is the home fixture on September 12, 2026, against the team fourth in the table.
