FC St. Pauli kicks off pre-season with the first test match against Altona 93. The Kiez-Kicker faces the regional league relegation on Tuesday.

What to Expect from FC St. Pauli?

After a tough training week under new coach Marcel Rapp, a clear win against the regional league relegation is expected. FC St. Pauli has earned 26 points from 34 games in the past season and is currently 18th in the Bundesliga.

Marcel Rapp's Goals

Marcel Rapp wants to assess his team better: „We want to become a good community and for that, we all have to do something. It's about becoming a unit on the pitch.“ The early start could also be a good omen for FC St. Pauli. Last time, the Kiez-Kicker started the 2023/24 season with a similar early test match.

Current Situation

FC St. Pauli has scored 29 goals and conceded 60 goals in the past season. The last match ended with a 1-3 loss against VfL Wolfsburg on May 16, 2026. | Date | Matchday | Points | | --- | --- | --- | | 2026 | 34 | 26 |

Outlook

The new second league schedule will be released on Thursday. FC St. Pauli could then face the promoted team Energie Cottbus. Cottbus has played three test matches over the weekend and scored 44 goals. FC St. Pauli will prepare for the new season and hopes for a better start than in the past season.
