FC St. Pauli face Holstein Kiel in the 2nd division on Friday evening. For the visiting coach Marcel Rapp, it's a trip down memory lane. The native Badener was four and a half years coach of the KSV and led the Schleswig-Holsteiners into the Bundesliga for the first time in 2024. Rapp was previously coach of Holstein Kiel for five years, leading the team into the Bundesliga. Now he aims to win the North Derby with FC St. Pauli. "It's a special game, I was there for a long time and had a very successful time. And yet I'm going there now as coach of FC St. Pauli and want to win the game", said Rapp. FC St. Pauli currently ranks 18th in the Bundesliga and scored 29 goals and conceded 60 in the last season. The title win is 63 points behind the leaders Bayern Munich. The last game of FC St. Pauli ended with a 1:3 defeat against VfL Wolfsburg. FC St. Pauli has not scored any points in the last five games and loses all games.
