Kyereh’s commitment would significantly increase the chances of the immensely important victory. In the second half of the season he carries most of the burden on the offensive. Top scorer Guido Burgstaller only scored two goals from open play in the second half of the season. And apart from Burgstaller and Kyereh, no brown and white has scored since mid-March.
St. Pauli relies on its home strength
In any case, things are going much worse for the second division autumn champions in the second half of the season. After the first half of the season, Hamburg was still the undisputed leader of the league. The lead over Schalke 04 was seven points and ten over Werder Bremen. Both are now in front of the third-placed Hamburgers.
Nevertheless, St. Pauli still has every chance of promotion to the Bundesliga. The homely strong Hanseatic League will play three of their last four games of the season at the Millerntor. “It’s a special situation we’re in. A sold-out Millerntor will inspire the boys,” Schultz is certain. “I see the advantage with the spectators, especially in situations where things aren’t going so well. We can rely on our fans there.”
In the first half of the season there was a 0:4
St. Pauli also has a score to settle with opponents Darmstadt 98. “We got off to an unfortunate start in the first leg and quickly fell behind,” striker Etienne Amenyido looks back on the 4-0 debacle at Böllenfalltor and is optimistic: “But Darmstadt definitely has gaps that we should exploit. “
There should be chances: In the two most recent games, the Hessians conceded a total of eight goals (three in Nuremberg, five against Schalke).
Amenyido also hopes that a full stadium will help the team in the end of the season. “We’re looking forward to the home games with the fans. The atmosphere motivates, gets a few percentage points and can definitely help us win.”
