FC St. Pauli host Karlsruher SC on Sunday, October 11th, in a 2. Bundesliga matchday seven fixture. Kick-off at the Millerntor-Stadion is at 1:30 PM local time.
Their last league outing was a 1-1 draw at Energie Cottbus on September 20th, following a 1-0 home victory over VfL Wolfsburg. St. Pauli currently sit 8th in the table with seven points from six games, leaving them eleven points behind leaders Hertha BSC.
The visitors from Karlsruhe arrive in 14th place, having lost their last two league matches. They suffered a 1-0 home defeat to 1. FC Nürnberg and a 3-0 loss to Energie Cottbus before that. This presents St. Pauli with an opportunity to build on their solid home form. Recent line-ups have shown a stable 4-1-3-2 formation with goalkeeper B. Voll and attackers like Abdoulie Ceesay and C. Metcalfe.
A win is important to keep pace with the promotion places. St. Pauli's most recent goals in friendly matches came from Ricky-Jade Jones and Martijn Kaars. The full schedule of upcoming fixtures, including this clash, is listed on our fixtures page. Sunday's game is the next chance to improve upon the team's perfectly balanced goal difference of eight scored and eight conceded so far this season.
