In the red pants, who won the last duel with the brown-whites at the end of January in their home Volkspark Stadium after a deficit thanks to the goals Schonlaus (58th) and Jattas (70th) 2-1 and all their previous five away games in the current second division season, coach Tim Walter also made two changes after the 1-1 home draw against 1. FC Kaiserslautern. The recovered Heuer Fernandes and Königsdörfer push Raab and Kittel to the bench.

Hamburger SV is on course for its fifth attempt to return to the Bundesliga after a good third of the season. With eight wins, one draw and two defeats, he leads the table of the national football lower house and is already five points ahead of fourth place before matchday twelve. It could have been seven, but last Saturday the Rothosen lost a 1-0 lead thanks to a goal by Glatzel in their home game against 1. FC Kaiserslautern; shortly before the Palatinate equalized (82′), Kittel missed a penalty (81′).

FC St. Pauli is in very bad shape going into the explosive local duel, having been waiting for a win for exactly two months. As a result of the 3-0 home win against newly promoted 1. FC Magdeburg, he only drew four points from the last seven matches and slipped from seventh to 14th place in the table. The brown-whites seem to have lost too many top performers in the summer to be able to get back up there – if they don’t manage to surprise today, they could even find themselves in the relegation ranks tomorrow afternoon.
