In the build-up game, Diogo Leite had the ball stolen by Mathias Pereira Lage, who made a few meters and then crossed sharply into the box. However, his cross is blocked right next to the corner flag only for a throw-in, which is not worth mentioning.

The somewhat more active Irons continue to find no gap because the Brown and Whites are very effective at blocking the passing stations and condensing the center. Accordingly, the matter at Millerntor is still tough.

5:48 p.m
Not without danger: A Berlin throw-in from the right is very unfortunately shot at the back of the head by Hountondji. But Vasilj switches gears quickest and has the presence of mind to punch the leather away from the lurking Ilić.

5:46 p.m
Karol Mets is able to break free in his own third despite the Köpenick team’s continued very high pressing and looks for Louis Oppie with a sharp ball into the depths. However, this pass is also too wide and ends up going out of bounds.

5:43 p.m
Hamburg work for the first corner kick, but Louis Oppie can’t find a taker on the resting ball from the left at the first post. The FCU defense maintains control of the air and clears effortlessly.

5:41 p.m
Leopold Querfeld sends Tom Rothe on his way with a high ball, but there is no gap in the opposing box. The Kiezkickers have a little less of the game, but so far they’ve been flawless defensively.

5:38 p.m
The Köpenickers get a free kick from a good 35 meters in a central position. Trimmel chips the ball way too far into the FCSP penalty area. Vasilj comes out and plucks the ball down safely.

5:36 p.m
The Kiezkickers make an appearance in the guests’ penalty area, but Pereira Lage is offside before his high cross, which Sinani misses in the center. The flag goes up.

5:35 p.m
Both teams are fighting for the initiative in this game. Köpenicker in particular runs extremely high, so that Karol Mets is forced by Oliver Burke to play the ball safely into the touchline. But the throw-in doesn’t bring in much.

Kick-off at Millerntor. The home team will be wearing their brown and white home colors. The guests from Berlin wear light blue jerseys over white pants. Let’s go.

Game start
5:01 p.m
Meanwhile, the balance sheet speaks easily for the Berliners, who have won 13 of the 29 competitive games against FC St. Pauli so far (six draws, ten defeats). Nevertheless: The Eisernen lost the last two guest games at Millerntor – including a clear 0:3 on January 26, 2025 this year in the last away game to date at the Kiezkickern.
16:49
The Hamburg team still poses a danger in standard situations. St. Pauli scored 56 percent of all Bundesliga goals in the 2025/26 season from dead balls (five out of nine) – the highest rate of all 18 Bundesliga clubs. The guests from the capital are also strong in this discipline. For the Eiserne, six out of 13 goals came from set pieces (46 percent) – the third highest value in the league after the Kiezkickern and Freiburg (54 percent).
16:39
What is interesting is that the two Bundesliga teams that had the hardest time scoring goals in the 2025 calendar year are facing each other today. FC St. Pauli failed to score in 14 Bundesliga games this year. 1. FC Union Berlin has the second highest score in this ranking with 13 games without a goal. In 2025/26, only Augsburg has a similarly low expected goals value (10.9) as the Kiezkicker (10.1) and the Köpenicker (11.6).
16:27
In the 2-2 draw against Bayern, FCU coach Steffen Baumgart had a lot of trouble with the VAR, which conceded an offside goal from Ansah, but not with his players. There are still two changes, although one of them is necessary: Andrej Ilić and Christopher Trimmel replace Janik Haberer (bench) and András Schäfer (injury).
4:25 p.m
Let’s take a look at how both coaches are approaching personnel today. FCSP coach Alexander Blessin changes his starting eleven in two positions compared to the recent 1:2 at SC Freiburg: Jackson Irvine and Andréas Hountondji start today for Connor Metcalfe and Martijn Kaars (both bench).
16:23
Since a 2-1 home win against FC Augsburg in mid-September, FC St. Pauli has not scored a single point in the Bundesliga. However, the Kiezkickers are now welcoming a guest, the Eiserne, who have only won one of the last six league games (three draws, two defeats), but managed to draw 2-2 against Bayern before the international break.
16:22
Good afternoon and welcome from the Millerntor Stadium. Here FC St. Pauli welcomes 1. FC Union Berlin today at 5:30 p.m. as part of the 11th matchday of the Bundesliga.
